Well worth the money to be private and not wait around for others all day. There was a general itinerary but Teo was very accommodating to other request, while also knowing what was worth actually seeing, due to unpredictable weather. I was quite impressed with how knowledgeable he was and answered practically any random question we had. He was laid back, made us laugh and was a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Jacqui !Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review! It was an absolute pleasure showing you around Tenerife. I am so glad that we were able to make the most of the day and adapt to the unpredictable weather and traffic. You were fantastic guests, and your great sense of humor made the day fly by. I hope to welcome you back to the island in the future!
Monica_J, Jan 2026
Teo was fantastic! He was there on time, communication was great and he took us to lovely places for the day. We highly recommend 😊

Hi Monica,
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting your family of four.
I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our communication and the secret spots we explored together. Being on time and making sure my guests feel comfortable and well-informed from start to finish is always my top priority.
I hope the professional photos we took bring back wonderful memories of your family adventure in Tenerife for years to come! You were a joy to have in my car.
Warm regards, Theo

We had a good day with Theo and he told us many stories. The lunch was delicious. The only problem was that so much time was wasted with traffic/parking issues. We didn't get to see as many places as I was hoping.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Lesley,
Thank you so much for your review! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stories about our island and that the local lunch was a highlight of your day. It was truly a pleasure spending time with you.
I appreciate your honest feedback regarding the traffic and parking. I always strive to maximize our sightseeing time. Unfortunately, during peak hours or special events, certain areas can become more congested than expected. I am already working on adjusting my secret routes and timing to ensure future guests can enjoy even more of Tenerife's stunning locations without delays.
I'm glad that despite the island's busy day, we still managed to create some great memories together. I hope the professional photos we took will remind you of the beautiful moments we shared!
Wishing you many more amazing travels, Theo

Wonderful day! Teo was extremely thoughtful, organized, responsive to our details. He planned a great day that was rich in knowledge and experience. We particularly appreciated his thoughtfulness related to the amazing photographs! World class. Not only an exceptional photographer, but a great storyteller!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Emil and Richard! I'm happy you enjoyed the private photo session, the places, the food and the Canarian culture in general. Thank you very much for this great review! Keep in touch.

Theo did a great job of avoiding the crowds on this tour. He adapted the tour for the weather which was cloudy with patches of rain.
The way the port is set up, we had to take a bus and walk just over half a mile to get to the meet point. Theo gave us great directions though. It was easy to find him. He showed us many beautiful sights that were off the beaten path. We had locally made wine in a tiny restaurant with the locals. We saw how the locals live in a small village.
We went to a great restaurant for lunch, and Theor helped us order. I kept saying "yes", and we ended up with more than we could eat. It was all delicious though.
Theo is quite knowledgeable about the island and its history. We learned a ton. He was able to answer all our many questions. I loved that we were able to customize the tour. At the end, we were pleasantly surprised that he was able to drop us right at the port, so we didn't have to take the bus back. Tenerife was my favorite of the 3 Canary Islands because of Theo.
Theo used his Sony camera for the pictures. We got them about a week later. He is a good photographer, but the images from the Sony were not better than my iPhone 15 Pro. It would have been simpler and maybe better for him to have used my phone for the photos.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Bart !
Thank you so much for the 5-star review and for the kind words about our time together in Tenerife. I’m thrilled to hear that the island became your favorite of the Canaries—that truly means a lot to me! I also enjoyed our lunch and that local wine; those moments with the locals are what make the tour special.
Regarding the photos, I totally hear you! The iPhone 15 Pro is indeed a beast when it comes to computational photography, especially when we’re battling those moody, overcast clouds and patches of rain we had. While I love the depth and 'soul' of my Sony, I have to admit your phone is an impressive piece of gear. The most important thing is that we captured the memories of the day, even if the weather didn't give us that perfect golden hour glow!
It was a pleasure meeting you both and helping you navigate our beautiful island (and the menu!). I hope the photos, regardless of the device, always remind you of the great time we had.
Safe travels and keep shooting!
Best regards, Theo

If you are into history --Tao is the guy for you! He is a wealth of information and historical stories. Even though it was some kind of holiday and many things were closed or overcrowded he made sure we had a full day of fun. Also a little special surprise tasting - I won't spoil it ;) One of the highlights was the place he took us for an amazing authentic meal -thankfully he was there to help us order!!
And as a bonus we have some beautiful group pictures that he took--all included!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Todd , Sarah, Eric and Jessica! I'm glad you enjoyed the private photo session, the places, the Canarian food and wine!. Thank you very much for this wonderful review!
Patricia_B, Dec 2025
Theo is awesome--his English is excellent and his stories and historical accounting were interesting and informative. Would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to tour the island in a day.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello Patricia, Bennet, Cathy and Jan! I am glad you liked your private photo session and the photos I sent to you! Thank you for the review! Best wishes!
robert_s, Dec 2025
A great way to see the Island and what it offers. Theo provided an extensive guide and spots buses don't go to. He booked Il Basilico for our lunch, a local eatery and recommended local foods which helped as menu in Spanish only. A trip to the rainforest and a local rum and honey was a nice touch.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Robert,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with me! It was a true pleasure to host you and show you the hidden corners of Tenerife that remain untouched by the big tour buses.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the local flavors at the Canarian restaurant and the tasting of our traditional honey rum in the rainforest—it’s one of my favorite 'hidden gems' to share with guests!
I always strive for perfection, and I hope the professional photos we captured will be a wonderful reminder of your time on our island. Safe travels back to Australia, and I hope to see you again someday!
Warm regards,
Theo

Theo not only showed us some great places that we would not otherwise have seen, but told us many interesting stories and anecdotes about the island's history and people. This trip was money really well spent and we would certainly like to go on another tour with him if we get the opportunity to return to Tenerife.

Hi David, thank you for this wonderful review.
Cheryl_M, Jun 2025
The entire experience was A+. The booking and communication from our driver Paul the days
leading up to the tour was amazing.
Paul was punctual and polite. He told us so much about the island. We really enjoyed hearing various stories about the island . Loved how Paul explained everything. He gave us plenty of time at our stops. Made sure we took photos at all the key places ensuring we have great memories .
My husband farms so Paul explaining the watering system and why some plants are not straight. Also about how the plants survive on the dew.
He also shares stories about the islands and how they relate to some of the most popular movies. He was so detailed.
Paul was good about asking what food we wanted and made sure we got the opportunity to eat some very good authentic food. He helped with choices that allowed us to get a good taste the island’s food,
Everything we ate as by great. He was also good about making sure we saw the various regions of the Island. We saw the dry area and the wet wheee we saw lots of greenery. We also visited mountains towns of Vilaflor and Candiilaria.

We had a terrific time with Theo. He showed us so many cool things in the island that it made us want to plan a longer trip to Tenerife. After taking in the sites, we had a wonderful lunch full of unique Canarian foods. Highly recommend a tour with him.

A day spent with Theo is a wonderful way to see Tenerife when you have a limited time to do so. Theo is extremely knowledgeable about the island, has lots of fun stories to share and will accommodate your tour requests as much as possible. We (4 of us) had a great time with him. He is highly recommended.

Susan_H, Mar 2025
Great way to see the island of Tenerife. Theo was prompt, his car was comfortable for 4 of us, and he knew the best places and best routes for our tour. We started at the beach w Sahara sand, then spent several hours in the lovely town of La Laguna. Loved the pedestrian streets, the old church, and a great stop for coffee (I had hot cocoa that was like chocolate pudding - yummy!). We came back to Candelaria for photos but decided on a long lunch at La Basilica. We left the ordering to Theo - wonderful Canarian dishes including goat stew, garbanzo beans, grilled feta cheese, chicken, beef w garlic and the local white wine. Perfect. He got us back to the ship in plenty of time, a perfect day.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hi Susan! Thank you very much for your appreciation! It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm glad you liked the photos I took of you. I hope you come back to the islands someday because there are still many interesting places to see and tasty Canarian food and wine to enjoy. Best wishes. Keep in touch.
Kenneth_H, Mar 2025
Theo was our Guide - he is pleasant to be around, very knowledgeable and listened to our desires for the day. He pointed out aspects of places visited that we would have glossed over had he not been with us. He us a great Guide.

A Perfect Day Exploring Tenerife with Theo!
Our private tour of Tenerife was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, Theo made the experience truly unforgettable. He wasn’t just a driver—he was a storyteller, a historian, and a local expert who brought the island to life in a way we never could have imagined.
Throughout the day, Theo took us to multiple charming towns, each with its own unique character and beauty. Whether it was the stunning coastal views, the picturesque streets of historic villages, or the breathtaking landscapes, he made sure we experienced the very best of Tenerife. His knowledge of the island’s history and culture was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that made every stop even more meaningful.
One of the highlights was his incredible restaurant recommendations. He knew exactly where to find the best local dishes, and we enjoyed an unforgettable meal that we never would have discovered on our own.
And if all this wasn’t enough—Theo is also a fantastic photographer! He took amazing pictures of us along the way, capturing the beauty of Tenerife and the joy of our experience perfectly. Thanks to him, we have stunning memories to look back on forever.
Beyond his expertise, what truly set Theo apart was his warm personality and enthusiasm. He made the entire day feel effortless, fun, and engaging. By the end of the tour, it felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide.
If you’re looking for a private tour that gives you a deep, authentic, and enjoyable experience of Tenerife, Theo is the one to book! Thank you, Theo, for an incredible day—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

We had a fabulous trip all around the island. Theo took us to all the places we requested and suggested a few more while we were in the car as we had time. We had a lovely lunch out as well. Would definitely book again and can thoroughly recommend Theo, very professional and knowledgeable.

Theo was very diligent about keeping us informed of where to meet before our excursion, what to expect during our outing and if we wanted to customize our experience by communicating with us on multiple occasions days before our trip and following up the night before. Even though the excursion was for the entire day, Theo’s commitment for providing an enjoyable outing exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed the local food that he recommended. Theo’s insights and personal experiences he shared with us made the day even more special. Without a doubt, this was one of the most memorable excursions we have ever been on with Viator.

The excursion was misrepresented because the car was not large enough for 4 adults it was very uncomfortable for a long tour. Not happy.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
