Additional Information

The northern expanse of Tenerife greets you with architectural marvels like palaces and bell towers, the quaint glow of cobblestone-lined pathways, the allure of decorative balconies, and an abundant culinary heritage. As the cradle of aristocracy and wealth, a stroll along these scenic village and port streets takes you on a journey back in time to their glorious past.

The narrative of the village of La Orotava unfolds as you wander its cobblestone lanes brimming with artisans, cultivators, and landlords.

As our trip to Icod de los Vinos progresses, we pause at a historic vineyard where the distinguished Malvasia grape was nurtured. This grape, once highly esteemed by the European nobility, was the backbone of the acclaimed Malvasia wine. This spot is also home to the oldest dragon tree in the Canaries that perseveres to this day.

Further to the northwest, beneath towering cliffs, the quaint streets of Garachico, the village and port, spiral up from the volcanic remnants of the Arenas Negras Volcano. Garachico was once the prime port of Tenerife.

An absolute must for aficionados of history, tradition, and architecture, our private tour promises an unforgettable journey!

Outstanding in every way! - I cannot speak highly enough of Jaime and Feel Tenerife tours! This was our second tour with Jaime, and again he exceeded expectations in every way. This time, my wife and I brought along our best friends for a tour of the Teide National Park from our too-short cruise port-stop at Santa Cruz de Tenerife. As before, Jaime responded to all of my pre-cruise emails promptly and warmly. With the excellent information Jaime provided, including annotated port-area maps, we were able to meet him at his waiting, super-comfortable, super-quiet, fully-electric Mercedes van and be off on our tour within minutes of our ship’s arrival. Jaime is a certified guide, with many years of university training in the fascinating culture and nature of Tenerife. He freely and engagingly shared with us his immense knowledge of the history and ecology of Tenerife and his deep personal commitment to the environment. While both my wife and I have toured volcanic areas in North and South America, Hawaii, Southern Europe and more , we have never, ever, have experienced in one place the variety and scope of volcanic action and features present around El Teide. Jaime’s intriguing, in-depth explanations brought all of these to life, often exposing fascinating details right in front of us that we’d have missed without his direction. As a bonus, we were treated to Tenerife’s signature drink, the Barraquito, a luscious coffee and local-liquor concoction enjoyed daily on Tenerife as a convivial morning and afternoon reset. Jaime offers many more itineraries beyond our abbreviated if enthralling tour customized to match our short port-stop time. We are certain to return for more experiences with Jaime and Feel Tenerife. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Excellent Day - We recently visited Tenerife for eight days. On three of those days we booked Feel Tenerife’s Tenerife North Ports and Villages tour, Anaga tour and Secrets of the Volcanoes tour. We could not recommend these tours more highly. Jaime is an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide and it was a pleasure to spend time with him. Each of these tours is unique and tailor made to demonstrate the incredible diversity and beauty of the island. The tours are well paced and fascinating and the tour van is comfortable and spacious. Jaime loves Tenerife and he wants his guests to see the island through his eyes. Jaime made our holiday and we would love to return to explore more of this beautiful island.

Fantastic day with the best guide - Jaime is the best guide in Tenerife. I went on other tours but Jaime’s knowledge and attention to detail makes him a cut above the rest. I felt like I came away with a deep understanding of the island’s culture, history and daily life. What a wonderful day, I will always remember it. His passion for Tenerife is infectious! Book with Jaime, you won’t regret it.

Feel Tenerife...and yes we did ! - Feel Tenerife ....and indeed we did ! Through the eyes and guidance of Jaime, we explored the hidden secrets of Northern Tenerife. From family run wine houses to dining in a restaurant that feels like being in someone's home....well you get the idea. Different, lots of detail, history about the island, the topography, the natural habitants like the birds, the goats, the flora and fauna. We experienced the real Tenerife away from hoards of people and concrete. We saw local life and yes felt the warmth. The beauty,the soul of this island so many call home. We had a wheelchair and still managed to visit many sites and villages.Magical vista's and viewpoints to admire the wonders of a volcanic island. Jaime was personable and very knowledgeable about the island. His passion and enthusiasm becomes your passion. It's contagious !! :-) it was truly a wonderful experience and the hours flew by. Before we knew it it was time to say goodbye. We look forward to experiencing another tour with Jaime to feel more of charming Tenerife. A great big thanks Jaime for making my mom's bday week so memorable.

Great tour on non tourist North Tenerife - Excellent day with Jamie. His English was very good and his in vehicle sound system means you can hear every word clearly as we travel around, even sat right at the back. It was an enlightening tour showing parts of the island away from the standard tourist traps. Highly recommended. Thanks again Jamie. Dave and Sally

The only tour guide you need in Tenerife - From where I can start??? This has to be one of the best tours I ever attended. Jamie is such a knowledgeable guy. He was able to explain everything and in detail. Whether it was about history, micro climate, wine, viticulture, politics. You name it and he has the knowledge about canary Islands. Thanks to him I got an abundant of information. Apart from that Jamie is charismatic, always smiling and make you feel at ease. If you want the 'touristic tour', don't go for Jamie. But if you want something authentic, the 'feel of a local', information that is not presented on the web, then you should book with 'Feel Tenerife'. The tour was amazing. Jamie was always on time. He took us to places where a local would know but no Google search would provide. During the tour we had a wine tasting and for lunch he took us to a local restaurant having 3 starters, a first course, a main course and desert (all plates were good but was so difficult to eat all). After we finished the tour, Jamie also provided us with further recommendations for us to explore or try for our stay in the canary islands. My only disappointed is that we didn't knew about Jamie before. Else we would have booked all tours with him instead of the other tours which one was below par and the other was too touristic. Well done Jamie :) definitely your tour was and will be one of our highlights in Canary Islands.

Amazing - We spent two wonderful days with Jaime. A hike around the Chinyero, where we had the chance to dive into another world. We were also spoiled culturally and gastronomically. Without stress and with a lot of love for his island Jaime gives a lot of interesting information. Hygienic measures and keeping the distance kept, we felt safe at every moment. The friendliness and warmth that Jaime always radiates makes us feel part of his world. We will surely meet again
