Itinerary
We drive a little further in to the Teide National Park, and we arrive at a place where we have the opportunity to take a short walk to the crater of the Sámara volcano. We also will pass by the old peak of the Teide “El Pico Viejo” with its huge lava field of over 5 km². Fairly recent with just over 200 years ago. Further on we arrive at the most beautiful place of the park at the famous rocks “Roques de García”, and here we have time for some beautiful pictures. Across the street at the Parador del Teide there is also a cafeteria and a nice souvenir shop.
We visit the small hidden village of Masca in the middle of the Teno area. Here we have time to take some pictures, and for a break next to the local church with a beautiful huge ficus tree of a few hundred years old. We drive on to the next village los Carrizales where we have the opportunity for a short walk. Furthermore, we drive along the winding road over the mountain and arrive on the north side of the island where local agriculture clearly dominates.
The following stop in the village of Garachico which was completely rebuilt after the city was completely destroyed by the lava flow of the black volcano in 1706. Here we have time to step past the old castle of San Miguel, the church of Santa Ana and the park where we can see an old wine press.
Drive to Icod de Los Vinos the land of the Thousand years Drago Tree, little break. Then we drive to the very beautiful viewpoint of the village Chirche for a short photo break.

This was a fabulous one day tour including many parts of the island. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us some very interesting insights on living on Tenerife. A highly recommended company to use.
We had François as our guide for two trips, and we could not have wished for a more professional, knowledgeable and pleasant person to show us some of the best places in Tenerife. We visited Mount Teide, Masca and Garachico and had the most wonderful time. François is the most amazing driver, and we could just sit back and relax as he navigated the mountain roads, which enabled us to fully enjoy and appreciate the spectacular scenery. We highly recommend this tour company for reliability, quality and value for money.
great tour of the northern part of the island. Miguel is a great guide who tells you about the island and its history. worth it
Very complete tour. Excellent driver/guide. Very professional and knowledgeable. He took us to a very good restaurant.
We had an amazing day seeing all of the sights on the island! Mount Teide was stunning to look at we loved having time to explore around the volcanos. Our guide was extremely insightful and clearly knew a lot and was passionate about the island. We loved that our guide knew to save Teide for the end of the day and go to the smaller towns first to avoid traffic and excessive tourists.
Our guide, Miguel was personable, truly passionate and knowledgeable about the Canary Islands. Miguel was flexible with the schedule. Our highlight of the trip was the drive down above the clouds from Tiede with views of the setting sun, La Palma and La Gomera. We definitely recommend this trip.
Very good trip. Very good organization. Have time for evething. Philip is best driver. He is very good travel git.
Wonderful day with Francois and Chica the dog 🐕 Lots of information. Plenty of stops for pictures and we visited every where and more. Highly recommend and thank you so much for a great day.
Comfortable air conditioned minibus, friendly informative driver and well planned itinerary. We went to places we would not have wanted to drive to!! The restaurant chosen for lunch was lovely and not too expensive.
It was an incredibly interesting excursion! Philip was very competent, spoke excellent English, gave valuable explanations and responded to all questions. He picked us up on time and we were back at the hotel 2 minutes before 6pm. The minibus is ideal for such a trip! Thank you!
