Impressive diversity - A wonderful day trip with countless impressions. At each stop there was a spectacular view of the landscape - whether Teide Volcano, Teide National Park, Masca or the north coast. The guide Alex knew the best places and could explain an awful lot and well. It was an unforgettable experience that I can only recommend to anyone. There's no other tour like this with Alex.

Great full day Tenerife excursion! - Alex is an amazing tour guide! He is very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna and historical facts about Tenerife and told us stories in a humorous way that kept the journey fun. Initially, I was worried as some people in my group had mobility issues, but Alex planned the tour in a way where all of us could enjoy it. Throughout the tour, he also took beautiful photos of my family and always knew the best spots to get the best picture. Not only that, he put in a lot of effort to make sure that each landmark was not just a photo stop, but also an educational moment. The ride was incredibly comfortable for our group of 8. Highly recommend taking a tour with him! :)

Great private tour , outstanding tour guide - We had an excellent experience on the Teide tour. Everything was well organized, on time, and ran smoothly from start to finish. Seeing Mount Teide up close was truly impressive, and the views throughout the tour were unforgettable.
A special thank you to our guide, Elkin, who was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. He shared great insights about the island’s history and landscape and kept us engaged the entire time.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tenerife!

It is a very complete... - It is a very complete tour of most of the major natural attractions of the island. The guide will tailor make the itinerary after you meet so you can see whatever you want and for how long you want to tour. We went for over 10 hours and did not feel rushed. The guide is very knowledgeable and kind. We felt safe and comfortable. I can't imagine there is a better company on this island.

Having never visited... - Having never visited Tenerife before we chose this comprehensive trip around the north and the national park. It was fascinating, informative and everything we hoped for. Alex was an excellent guide, knowing all the best places to see and driving safely on hair- raising roads. He was instantly engaging, friendly and an excellent communicator. He also takes great photos!

Simply perfect and unforgettable - Just perfect! We had Alex as a private guide and he took his time before D-Day to fully understand what we were looking for. We had 2 places we wanted in the tour absolutely. In the end, the day was exactly what we needed. Alex has been taking care of us and has also volunteered to be a photographer. He knows perfectly the nooks and crannies and spots to make beautiful souvenir photos. As we were neither athletes nor trekking champions, Alex’s chosen turn and the tempo of the walk were fine. In addition he gave us a multitude of information about the island and its fauna and flora. And to top it all off: perfect driving on the winding road to Masca. I recommend this activity to 200%

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!

Most of Tenerife in one day - The tour was great! The itinerary covers everything you need to see in Tenerife in one day! Eugenio, our tour guide, was very personable and respectful. He was open to adjusting the schedule to fit our taste. My only critic is that he is Russian and he had some difficulty speaking Spanish. While visiting a Spanish speaking country I assumed that would not be an issue.
The overlooks and trails he took us were absolutely beautiful !
Thank you 😊
