Wow! - Wow!! Words do not do the views from near the top justice. Jose as our guide was amazing, delivering insightful information about Teide and the surrounding areas in German, English & Spanish. Domingo as our driver ensured we were safe at all times whilst navigating the winding roads. Would definitely recommend purchasing the cable car tickets to climb to 3500 meters for the amazing views of Tiede.

Perfect for a quick trip to Teide - I chose this trip as I only wanted to see Teide and most the other trips visited other villages and stopped for lunch etc. This trip was perfect as it was approximately 4.5 hours from Santa Cruz and back again. There was one stop for a toilet break for 15 minutes which was perfect. The bus used was very good and the driver felt very safe. I would recommend checking the likelihood of the cable car being in operation as it wasn't operating in early February because of wind and ice.

Teide 1/2 day excursion. - What a brilliant 1/2 day adventure. Coach picked us up from hotel 10min walk away from Gara Suites Golf and Spa. Trip was about £25 each via Jet2. Coach was very comfortable with air con. Excursion Rep was very knowledgeable and clearly spoken, very informative. We did 2 stops on the way up for the views and also to get used to the altitude. Gorgeous little cafe for coffee with amazing views. Then onto a beauty spot to explore before being dropped off at the cable cars. As we were with a tour group we got straight on the cable car. Once at the top I felt the change in altitude and was glad I had brought a banana and a drink to enjoy at the top. Was feeling a bit dizzy even though I have been up Mont Blanc. A kind lady offered me a mint at the top which also seemed to help. Once at the top there were amazing views and a couple of walks you could do. Surprised that there was very little snow up there, even though it was February. Queued for about 10mins for cable car back down. Once down there’s a fantastic cafe/coffee bar with lots of indoor seating with the most fantastic views. Teide really is worth a visit, an amazing trip. National Park drive is a trip in itself, lots to see. Recommend this trip even if your not very mobile as you can stay on the coach if you can’t do the walking, and just enjoy the scenery. But if you do want to walk then make sure you have suitable footwear, trainers at least. Also it can get cold up there so take a few layers. We took hoodies and light puffer jackets, but fortunately only needed our hoodies 😊

Meh… - I chose this tour because it was a 1 /2 day and what I thought would be a small group tour. It was half a day but a large group which made me uncomfortable in these pandemic times. People were respectful of space, etc. but the size of the group made picture taking and exploring quite difficult throughout. I suppose it’s what you get though when it’s peak tourist time and the agencies are hungry to recover monies lost during pandemic closures. There were two quick stops on the way up and the guide was wonderful and mega intelligent when offering historical and fun facts about the volcano and region in it’s entirety. But I found myself asleep for most of it having to be in the bus for long stretches of time.
