Our tour guide (Andrew) was very knowledgeable. We got a very comfortable tour with so much information and breathtaking views. I feel that I saw the very best of Tenerife! I would recommend.
Tour was GREAT. Andrea our guide was wonderful. Very informative. Funny at times. The stops were appropriate and timed perfectly. Our scheduled arrival time was 3:00pm and we arrived at 2:59. That was.my concern because it only allowed 30 minutes before our ship left. But Andrea was on the ball. About Tenireif. Could not picture the beauty of the different topography until we saw it. Pictures do not do it justice. Lastly our driver Laura. I was nervous looking at the tight sharp turns thru the mountains. But Laura had it down pat. She handled the bus great. We actually got stuck for 5 minutes watching 2 other busses trying to figure out how to pass each other. But when similar situations arose she was a pro and had no issues. We live on a community where a lot of people travel. And I will happily recommend this tour. Thanks again to the whole team.
Our guide, Andrea exceeded our expectations as a guide. She was not just informative but also fun and easy to listen to. Customer service was responsive before the tour, which gave us peace of mind. Everything ran as promised.
Nice tour and super easy pickup at the port. Amazed by the drive through La Esperanza forest and the stops at La Tarta viewpoint and Roques de García near Teide, the views were so attractive. La Laguna was fun to walk around and have lunch. Guide Andreas was friendly and I would definitely recommend a tour with him.
The drive was enjoyable with beautiful scenery, La Esperanza Forest is definitely not a regular forest. The viewpoints we stopped at, especially Roques de Garcia, were stunning. The guide, Andrea, was super fun and professional at the same time. I highly recommend booking this tour. We wish our ship docked longer in Tenerife.
It was a fantastic day in Tenerife. Laura, the guide, has the knack of explaining about the island, in an amazing way. We stopped at Roques de García and La Tarta viewpoint, both were so ideal for clicking some photos. La Laguna was nice and we had time to look at small shops and buy some souvenirs. By the end we were a bit tired, but in a good way. The ride back to the port was comfortable and relaxing. Really fun day overall.
We have done four cruise trips and while on our trips, this has been one of the best organized tours. A caring and friendly guide, comfortable transportation and clear instructions. The walk through La Laguna with the guide (Laura) and having time for a nice lunch, are memories that will remain for a long time. Also, we was back at the ship well in advance.
