A must do trip - Great day out with a brilliant guide. Celine was enthusiastic and energetic and made everyone feel special. She had really good knowledge of the area. The visit to the Finca was memorable - great to taste local wine. It was a great way to explore the North of the island - we visited many small towns and villages.
If we had one criticism it would be that there was too much emphasis on churches. Highly recommended.

Tour worth doing - This tour is different from the rest of the tours and is worth doing. Firgas and Arucas are quaint little towns and very beautiful. The banana plantation is a unique experience. We didn't do the optional cheese/wine tasting, so cannot comment on that experience. The coffee tasting is included and is a nice experience. The orchard in which this experience takes place is beautiful. We enjoyed taking pics in the fruit trees.
The peaks of Agaete are impressive and so is the natural swimming pool on the beach.

Good, but a couple of disappoinments - Bananas, quaint villages, sweeping views, good guide.
Improve: 1) clean the inside of the bus windows before picking up guests. 2) have the guide wear a cap or bright shirt so they are easy to find while wandering in towns. 3) Let guests know in advance if one of the locations on the itinerary is cancelled - in my case I really wanted to see Agaete and the west coast, but it was not possible because the town was having its big annual feast - common knowledge. I would have rescheduled to the next week.
