Special and beautiful experience.
It was a great experience. Picked up at the hotel and from moment one the guide has passionately told us about the breathtaking nature. He showed us special places, which you would certainly not have discovered yourself. You had plenty of time everywhere.

A perfect and unforgettable day
First discovery of the National Park in wonder. The vehicle is comfortable and sneaks into the well chosen villages and stops to enjoy the views of any beauty or the small village bakery for tasting local products. The organization and explanations of our friendly guide are excellent. The small group format is the best to appreciate the site and its treasures.
Two remarks for Frenchies and gourmets: the English of our guide is very clear and understandable, and you can stock up on excellent local snacks on the morning road to enjoy during the break at the summit.
This park is literally mesmerizing and this formula is effortless and perfect for everyone.
Operator response
Un grand merci pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que cette première découverte du Parc National vous a autant émerveillés.

Nous sommes également heureux que le format en petit groupe ait contribué à rendre cette expérience encore plus agréable, et merci pour vos précieux conseils à destination des voyageurs francophones et des gourmands !
Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une nouvelle aventure au cœur de ce parc si fascinant. À très bientôt !

Top bird guide for Parque Nacional Cajas
When you get up before dawn to visit El Cajas National Park outside Cuenca, you want the day trip to go as planned. It did when we booked with Edison Juca and Polylepis Tours.
With decades of personal knowledge, Edison (Eddy) knew every spot for birds and views. His field expertise as a bird guide and naturalist is backed by education/training.
Under lousy conditions (rain, fog and chilly cold) we saw nearly 3 dozen species, including target birds (and we heard the noisy Turquoise jay).
Cajas Park is notorious for its moody weather, but Eddy anticipated a downpour in time to find us cover so that we could continue birding,
We expect that any tour with Polylepis Tours would be equally successful.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted to hear that, despite the challenging weather, you had such a rewarding day exploring El Cajas National Park with Eddy. His passion, extensive local knowledge, and expertise in birding and natural history truly make every tour special, and we're thrilled that he was able to help you spot so many species while adapting to the park's ever-changing conditions.
Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Polylepis Tours, perhaps under sunny skies next time!

Tour operator not up to Viator standards
This a five hour tour and went all around sights near El Teide as expected. They used 2 vans for our English tour and we were in one with only Spanish driver. We were directed to the wrong pick up spot and wanted over 20 mins to find the driver. Then he drove like a racer up the narrow mountain roads, passing cars as he went.
Operator response
Thank you for your comments.
We are 100% sure you are referring to a different tour.
This does not reflect us at all.
We use one minivan and the guide is always Ozzi.
Most likely you are posting this to the wrong tour provider.

Great trip with spectacular views, well worth the money!
Very interesting trip, really enjoyed it. We saw some beautiful scenery and stopped off at a nice cafe /shop. The only negative was that being in the back I couldn't hear what the guide was saying to the people sitting next to him. They seemed to be getting more info than the rest of us. Maybe some kind of speaker system would help. Over all though a great trip.

Great tour and excellent guide!
What a great experience! Booked easily through TripAdvisor. Pick-up location three minutes from hotel was sent by WhatsApp the evening before.
Pick-up was punctual in a clean, modern vehicle. Picking up other guests was quick because of the small group size.
Some great stops at Vila Flor and el Pino Gordo. But the highlights were really the Roques de Garcia and the lava fields. At the Roques de Garcia we had a full hour to walk around, enjoy the views, explore the trails and visit the visitor centre/museum and cafe/gift shop. The lava fields are also really impressive - photos just don't capture it.
Our guide, Ozzie, was just fantastic and really made the experience special. Multilingual (English, Spanish, Dutch and more) and with an amazing knowledge of both the history of the island and the science of the volcanoes. This really made it special as we got so much in-depth information that I'm not sure you'd get with other tours.
The tour maximum size is 8 people, which is a great size for a personal experience. Space-wise in the van, we were 7 people and it was fine. But with 8 it would be a bit tight as the front seats are only really for 1.5 people. Also, if you're in the back you can't see the views so well when driving along because of the tinted windows. But plenty of great sites to see at the stops!
Overall, a really great tour, very reasonably priced for the fantastic experience you get, and totally recommended! Thank you Ozzie!

Fantastic trip
Fantastic, lovely trip to Teide. We were 8 people in the group and we saw different landscape types and the guide was good at telling about the many volcanoes and their history. With photo stops in the right places. Nice guide and comfortable car.
