• 5A break from The Sun

  Long day but worth it masca was beautiful and the drive along the super small cliff mountain roads scarily exciting, learning a bit about all the volcanos was done in a brief and interesting way.

• 5Pablo was very...

  Pablo was very informative and José the driver was absolutely brilliant when it came to driving up the mountains, he was very experienced and made us feel safe! The only thing I would change would be spending a little more time at the bottom of Mt Teide and having a swim stop at the natural pools- but I know technicalities would make that difficult, but other than that the tour was good! For the tour - take cash, the first stop is 1€ for toilets, I recommend going a toilet here because the mt Teide stop is so short, there is also a lovely cafe in the hills at Masca that is cash only, lovely place for a coffee with a view! I recommend to wait for the third stop (I believe it was) to buy souvenirs, it's a fairly large store with a lot to pick from! & The toilets are free, there's also a place to get a drink and some food. For the lunch stop it was 20€ for a three course lunch, including a drink. We brought a pack lunch so not sure how good the lunch was! There's a lovely little butterfly house there too that I recommend, we only spent about 30 minutes in there but it was a nice Overall, lovely tour and I recommend it!

• 4A great way to see a large part of Tenerife in one day

  This tour covers so much of the island and is a fantastic way to see places you might not otherwise get to during your holiday. It is a long day with a lot of travelling, but overall we felt it was worth it because of the locations visited. The itinerary isn't quite as advertised. If you're picked up in Tenerife South, you'll first travel by minibus before transferring to a larger coach with the rest of the group. The first stop is Vilaflor for a café break. The café promotes itself as the last toilet stop before Mount Teide, although there are facilities available later in the national park so save your 1 euro! We spent around 30 minutes here, which felt a little longer than necessary as there isn't much to see beyond the café itself. Next was Los Roques de García, which was the highlight of the trip for us. The scenery is stunning, and we were given a good amount of time to explore and take photos. This is also within Teide National Park, so it's worth noting that these are effectively the same stop rather than two separate ones. After that came around 90 minutes on winding mountain roads. Credit to our driver, Miguel, whose driving was excellent throughout the day. We then arrived at Parque del Drago, where we had an hour of free time. Instead of joining the organised café stop, we explored independently and really enjoyed the area. If you grab a quick lunch, you may even have time to visit the nearby butterfly house. The next stop was Piscinas Naturales El Caletón. Although the itinerary suggests this is the final stop, it isn't. This was a lovely location and, if anything, we would have liked more time here. It was a very hot day, and having longer to be able to enjoy the natural rock pools would have been ideal. The actual final stop was Masca Valley. The views are beautiful and it's perfect for those looking for that Instagram-worthy photo, although we felt the allocated time here was a little too long compared with some of the earlier stops. At the end of the day, we were dropped back off, with those staying in the south transferring back to a minibus for the final leg of the journey. Thankfully, this part wasn't too long. Overall, this is a well-organised tour that visits some incredible locations. We would have preferred slightly less time at some of the shorter stops and more time at places like El Caletón, but if you're looking to see a lot of Tenerife in one day, this trip offers excellent value. Guide, also called Miguel, was great, very knowledgeable and friendly.

About Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, dominated by Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, with black-sand beaches, banana groves and laurel forests.

Tenerife rises from the Atlantic to the 3,715-metre summit of Mount Teide, a volcano whose national park of lava fields, strange rock formations and vast craters is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cable car climbs most of the way up. The air is so clear that the island hosts astronomical observatories, and stargazing is a pastime in its own right.
