Long day but worth it masca was beautiful and the drive along the super small cliff mountain roads scarily exciting, learning a bit about all the volcanos was done in a brief and interesting way.
Thank you for a 5 star review and great comment, we are so glad you found the excursion interesting and fun.
Day trip to Masca, Teide, Garachico, Dragon tree and good food in the end..
Thank you for the 5 star review, we are glad you enjoyed the excursion.
Excellent guide, knowledgeable and nice , professional , very good driver , should choose another restaurant for lunch
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and 5 stars, we are so glad you enjoyed your day!
Pablo was very informative and José the driver was absolutely brilliant when it came to driving up the mountains, he was very experienced and made us feel safe! The only thing I would change would be spending a little more time at the bottom of Mt Teide and having a swim stop at the natural pools- but I know technicalities would make that difficult, but other than that the tour was good! For the tour - take cash, the first stop is 1€ for toilets, I recommend going a toilet here because the mt Teide stop is so short, there is also a lovely cafe in the hills at Masca that is cash only, lovely place for a coffee with a view! I recommend to wait for the third stop (I believe it was) to buy souvenirs, it's a fairly large store with a lot to pick from! & The toilets are free, there's also a place to get a drink and some food. For the lunch stop it was 20€ for a three course lunch, including a drink. We brought a pack lunch so not sure how good the lunch was! There's a lovely little butterfly house there too that I recommend, we only spent about 30 minutes in there but it was a nice Overall, lovely tour and I recommend it!
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy you enjoyed the trip and that Pablo and José looked after you so well. We also appreciate all the useful tips you’ve shared for other guests. We’ll definitely keep your suggestions about Teide and the natural pools in mind. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again!
This tour covers so much of the island and is a fantastic way to see places you might not otherwise get to during your holiday. It is a long day with a lot of travelling, but overall we felt it was worth it because of the locations visited. The itinerary isn't quite as advertised. If you're picked up in Tenerife South, you'll first travel by minibus before transferring to a larger coach with the rest of the group. The first stop is Vilaflor for a café break. The café promotes itself as the last toilet stop before Mount Teide, although there are facilities available later in the national park so save your 1 euro! We spent around 30 minutes here, which felt a little longer than necessary as there isn't much to see beyond the café itself. Next was Los Roques de García, which was the highlight of the trip for us. The scenery is stunning, and we were given a good amount of time to explore and take photos. This is also within Teide National Park, so it's worth noting that these are effectively the same stop rather than two separate ones. After that came around 90 minutes on winding mountain roads. Credit to our driver, Miguel, whose driving was excellent throughout the day. We then arrived at Parque del Drago, where we had an hour of free time. Instead of joining the organised café stop, we explored independently and really enjoyed the area. If you grab a quick lunch, you may even have time to visit the nearby butterfly house. The next stop was Piscinas Naturales El Caletón. Although the itinerary suggests this is the final stop, it isn't. This was a lovely location and, if anything, we would have liked more time here. It was a very hot day, and having longer to be able to enjoy the natural rock pools would have been ideal. The actual final stop was Masca Valley. The views are beautiful and it's perfect for those looking for that Instagram-worthy photo, although we felt the allocated time here was a little too long compared with some of the earlier stops. At the end of the day, we were dropped back off, with those staying in the south transferring back to a minibus for the final leg of the journey. Thankfully, this part wasn't too long. Overall, this is a well-organised tour that visits some incredible locations. We would have preferred slightly less time at some of the shorter stops and more time at places like El Caletón, but if you're looking to see a lot of Tenerife in one day, this trip offers excellent value. Guide, also called Miguel, was great, very knowledgeable and friendly.
Thank you for your detailed and positive review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering so many beautiful places across Tenerife and that Miguel made your journey comfortable and informative. We truly appreciate your helpful comments about the itinerary and time at each stop. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
I really liked the tour! It started not too early (7:50am), which was really nice as I could sleep a bit longer, and I was picked up right by my hotel, which was very convenient as well. No hassle at all, and everything worked exactly as expected. Then, on board the bus, the experience was super nice as well. Our tour guide Pedro was very friendly and, importantly, didn’t push anything on us like some other guides do (e.g. no seat assignment on the bus, lunch with the group was not mandatory, etc.). It was really pleasant to have a choice and feel that nothing was being pushed onto us during our holidays! Our driver Julio was super good as well and was able to maneuver even the tightest curves on the road. As for the tour itself, a lot of it was driving and we didn’t have to walk much (around 30 minutes per sightseeing stop on average), which, to be honest, was appreciated given the heat and the fact that we came here to relax. We also made some really nice pictures along the way. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the convenient hotel pick-up, relaxed start time, and smooth organisation made your day hassle-free. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Pedro and Julio. It’s wonderful to hear that Pedro created such a relaxed atmosphere and gave you the freedom to enjoy the experience at your own pace. We’re also glad Julio’s driving helped you feel comfortable throughout the journey! We’re especially pleased that the balance of sightseeing and driving worked well for you, particularly in the warm weather. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tenerife in the future!
I had booked a tour with an Italian-speaking guide. At the last moment they told me it was only available in English. They proposed the next day to me. I had to cancel because I would have had to return home the next day. I don't know if I will ever return to Tenerife and I really liked that trip. I had booked in advance to be sure I could do it, and instead it was denied to me. Very very angry!!!
