Review of Tenerife’s Mount Teide, Masca, Icod, and Garachico day trip, with practical advice on stops, roads, meals, value, and comfort.
“The guide was great, very knowledgeable and really friendly and welcoming. A little bit more free time would have been great, but there’s a lot packed into this trip so understandable.”

Review of La Gomera from Tenerife: ferry views, Garajonay forest, Silbo Gomero, lunch, logistics, value, and practical tips.
“It was well organized. We decided to go very late and were happy that the company contacted us ate in the evening... Just a small suggestion. There is a lunch included. It was fine, but we would suggest if they could offer local bananas instead of a too cheap eis cream. It would be a promotion for local people much more appreciated by the visitors. Please, try to convince them.”
Review of Mount Teide summit hike from South Tenerife, with cable car, permits, small groups, practical tips, costs, and weather advice.
“Although it was cloudy all day on the coast, we soon rose through the clouds and emerged into a very impressive volcanic landscape under blue skies and sunshine. While waiting for the wind speed to drop so that we could make the cable car ascent to the summit of Teide, our guide led us on an informative walk around the local rock formations. I learned much from this, as indeed from the commentary we heard while driving to and from the national park area. Sadly, the wind did not drop and we were unable to reach the summit of Teide but this did not ruin the tour. It was worth…”
Review of La Palma from Tenerife: ferry, Santa Cruz, La Cumbrecita, Tajogaite volcano, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“Great way to see the 'highlights' of La Palma in a day. We had around six hours on the island after a comfortable ferry crossing, 0800 ferry from Los Cristianos, 1700 ferry back from Santa Cruz. Our guide was excellent throughout, very knowledgeable and able to answer questions with confidence. Lunch was effectively a 40 minutes grab and go so as to maximise the sightseeing opportunities. The national park was fantastic.”
Review of La Gomera from Tenerife, with ferry travel, Garajonay forest, local food, Silbo Gomero, villages, and practical booking advice.
“Forget your typical organised excursion – this was more like a day on the road with a friend. We explored La Gomera in a super comfortable vehicle, with our driver-guide sharing the island's major highlights. The small group size (just four of us, including my 15-year-old and me) was fantastic. La Gomera itself is incredible: lively at sea level, then dramatically prehistoric as you ascend into the hills. There's genuinely something for everyone – from fascinating walks in the clouds and museums to charming hand-made souvenirs and a delicious local lunch. My son and I had an absolutely wonderful time. A quick tip for those prone to motion sickness: The…”

“The tour was very good value for money. The guide was very informative. The coach was quite dated though.”
Review of Tenerife’s private Anaga and Taganana tour, with hotel pickup, mountain views, La Laguna, Las Teresitas, pricing, and practical tips.
“It was a very nice day. Diego was wonderful and had extensive knowledge in every area. We visited places we would not have found on our own, and we had enough time to look around and take photos. We recommend this to everyone. Thank you, Diego.”
Review of La Gomera from Tenerife, with ferry travel, Garajonay forest, viewpoints, lunch, costs, weather tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Da dimenticare. Escursione che non è stata annullata malgrado l'allerta meteo, perché a quanto pare tutto ruota intorno ai soldi. Abbiamo passato l'intera giornata in bus su strade poco sicure (massi in strada, forte pioggia e nebbia) senza vedere quasi nulla. Come se non bastasse, abbiamo patito il freddo perché il bus era senza riscaldamento e ci pioveva dentro! Il cibo del pranzo incluso è poco e di scarsa qualità. La guida non ha fatto altro che pubblicizzare i prodotti locali da acquistare nel negozio in cui lei riceve probabilmente una percentuale (che, per inciso, vende gli stessi prodotti che si trovano altrove, ma al doppio del prezzo), non si…”
Review of Mount Teide’s five-hour guided day trip without cable car, covering transport, views, costs, exhibits, guide quality, and practical tips.
“Absolutely great tour ideal for anyone who wants to be back for the afternoon sun and a Great way to spend the last day if you have an evening flight”
A boat, a castle, a waterfall or a very long lunch.
