Greg was an excellent guide. He showed us the most beautiful places in Tenerife. Way off the beaten path. With 3 ships in port, we rarely ran into any tourists or buses. We had an amazing local lunch. Greg communicates right away and gives excellent directions to find him. One of our best tours.

Great views with exceptional guide

Edwin_B, Nov 2025
Our driver/guide MARCO was incredible. We saw major spots and spent meaningful time exploring the volcanoes and related. Marco could not do more to help us where sightseeing for 78 year olds can be a challenge. Extremely professional as this was a private tour for my wife and I over 7 plus hours Price was not cheap but if it can work you will not forget this tour

Great tour with Marco

A_Y, Nov 2025
We had an incredible day exploring Tenerife with our tour guide Marco! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. We visited Teide National Park, Garachico, Masca village and the oldest trees in the world.

Easy pick/up from cruise port - Day tour to Mt. Teide and much more …

Kathy_B, Nov 2025
Greg was very helpful at the time of booking (communication was excellent through the “chat with operator”), easy pickup at the cruise terminal and a wonderful tour. He was very knowledgeable, answering my many questions …. We had a perfect day!

A Great Tour of Tenerife

Scott_N, May 2025
Had a great tour of Tenerife with Greg! He messaged me prior to and the day of our tour and gave detailed meeting instructions. From there he drove us all over the island! Took us to the volcano, past the old pirates village, stopped for lunch at a lovely restaurant, and saw the oldest tree on the island before being returned to our cruise ship in time for departure. Greg had tons of information about the island and its history, and shared all of that information. I highly recommend Greg for anyone who wants a thorough and interesting tour of Tenerife!

Phenomenal Day, Awesome Guide

Susanne_B, Jun 2024
We spent a phenomenal day above and below the clouds, with breathtaking views - in rocky expanses, dense forest, mountaintop vistas, and quaint villages! Gregory knew exactly where to take us to fully experience Teide and its surroundings. He was knowledgeable and flexible. Since we didn't have an All-Aboard time that night, he gave us more time than advertised. Thanks for such a great day, Gregory!

The Natural Beauty of Tenerife

catherinemarystanton, Jan 2024
We loved visiting Tenerife with a hassle free tour. We were picked up outside of the cruise pier by our Guide Marco. He was personable and was a wealth of knowledge about the island. He took us to Teide National Park where we saw amazing sites- The volcano last erupted about 100 years ago so you could see chunks of lava that had hardened everywhere which gave the landscape a very distinct feature. It was breathtaking. The natural beauty of island was amazing. We also toured the island and went to Garachico - a lovely seaside town. We also got to go to Masca a beautiful old pirate town and saw El Drago - one of the oldest trees in the world. Highly recommend this tour

An excellent experience!
