Excellent! If you can do this one!! - Excellent and do it now! Where can I begin, Alex is a gentleman and he knows the lay of the land and it was wonderful to be taken to places that not many people know about. I also don't enjoy large crowds and he took us to so many smaller places and mom and pop shops, you know shops that are owned by individuals instead of large companies are just my type. And we went to several of those. He's kind he's attentive and I cried several times at the beauty of the things that I was getting to witness. I am a season traveler and am accustomed to private tours and for the price and the beauty and the attention to detail this one to me was probably one of the best ones I've ever gone on. The park is amazing and since I am older mid-60s I was concerned about if it would be too strenuous for me and he will make it to what you are comfortable with! I appreciated that so much I must admit I almost did not book this one because I'm viator it showed five stars out of 13 reviews at the time and that concern to me Not realizing how many other platforms his company is on, but we booked it anyway and it's one of the best decisions I've made so far this year. Happy traveling and I hope that you get to do this excursion because it is just brilliant!

Track on the Mask - I had an awesome time on this tour! Alex was a very safe driver, I felt relaxed the whole trip. The places we visited were stunning, and everything was really well planned and fun.
Luckily the weather was perfect for us, even though it didn’t look great in the forecast nearby. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice tour!

Fantastic Christmas excursion - I had a fantastic day on this tour with great fellow travelers and, most importantly, our amazing guide Alex! I got a wonderful Christmas gift from the company — a nice discount on the excursion. I never thought it’s possible to see so many of Tenerife’s absolute highlights in just one day. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cross Teide National Park from west to east because the road was partly closed due to snow and ice. But Alex quickly changed the route and we got to visit the charming historic town of Icod de los Vinos instead. Huge thanks for this unforgettable day!

Incredible Tour - We had a great private tour of Tenerife with Alex. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the island and took us to see several locations the big tour buses just can not get to.

Amazing Adventure - Alex was a fun and informative tour guide for our all day excursion. From the high mountains to small costal towns, he made sure we captured as many great memories as possible during our adventure. He introduced us to a local spot for a delicious traditional Canarian meal along with local wine. Garachico and Masca were our favorite spots. We highly recommend Alex for this excursion as his enthusiasm and passion to share the island was very much appreciated!

I was picked up from my... - I was picked up from my apartment and taken to so many incredible locations that I would never have been able to visit on my own. Masca, Garachico, and Teide National Park were simply breathtaking! Alex knew the best times to visit each spot, so I made the most of every minute without ever feeling rushed. He was happy to recommend a lovely restaurant for lunch, where I enjoyed some amazing local dishes. Alex was an excellent and careful driver — I always felt completely safe, even on those narrow, twisting mountain roads. A big thank you to Alex for making it such a wonderful experience, and also to the organizers for the small discount they kindly offered. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Me best experience! - Absolutely the best way to experience Tenerife!
The tour was thoughtfully put together, covering all corners of the island. Our guide stopped at the perfect spots for photos and took us to wonderful local places to eat and drink that only a true insider would know. We thoroughly enjoyed the day — he was a very considerate and professional guide. Everything was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for more.

We had an incredible... - We had an incredible personalized tour of the island with Alex. He shared so many captivating stories about Tenerife’s history, culture, and the daily life of the locals. Thanks to him, we discovered hidden gems—from stunning secluded beaches to authentic family-run restaurants that we never would have found on our own.
What made the day even more perfect was that we didn’t hit a single traffic jam, even though the oncoming traffic was completely gridlocked the entire time we were out. It was an unforgettable experience—highly recommended!

Spectacular trip - We started the tour with stunning views of northern Tenerife, visiting secret viewpoints that were exclusive to locals. Next was Garachico with its beautiful natural volcanic pools. The contrast of the black lava rock and clear water was stunning. Then came the spectacular drive to Masca village, with lush, dramatic valleys that felt almost like the Amazon. Masca itself is a charming hidden gem surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
The highlight was Teide National Park, where the volcanic landscapes and rock formations around Mount Teide make you feel like you’re on another planet. We also enjoyed a delicious traditional Canarian lunch with spectacular views.
Huge thanks to our wonderful guide Alex who was very helpful, knowledgeable and made the trip even more enjoyable. His expert skills on the twisting Masca roads were truly impressive, he was the best professional driver I’ve ever seen! Highly recommended!
