Great tour - So I had done this tour from the south side but this time it was from the north and it was so much better, the villages and towns you go through were so lovely, long day but was amazing.

You will not be disappointed!!! - What can I say? What an excellent day excursion with breathtaking beautiful scenery from beginning to end. A couple of stops on route up to the base of Mount Teide where there is a stop for early afternoon lunch before returning. One of the stops at a beautiful small town square for coffee & hot churros. What made the trip extra special was our guide Melissa who spoke throughout the day with so much knowledge of the area & she was so funny throughout, laughing and joking. The driver was brilliant, very professional, very skilled on tight twisty roads. The coach was spotlessly clean. I could not give a high enough rating for this trip. Simply brilliant. Thank you!!!

Amazing view and driving - Amazing and friendly tour guide and our F1 coach driver. Knowledgeable of thr areas and kept up good humour through the journey. Tour guide could speak many languages and then took the group to Resturante Carmen which was a nice add on for an extra 17€. Recommend this trip highly and saw thr beautiful Mt Teide and surrounding areas

Excellent tour but rude tour guide - The tour itself was excellent, we visited some lovely places although we would have liked a bit more time at mount teide. Masca was absolutely breathtaking. The reason for 3 stars was the rudeness of the tour guide and driver at the start. A couple in front of us asked if this was their tour and yes they were quickly ushered onto the bus. When I asked what tour it was I was told masca and was then very much ignored while they striked up a conversation between themselves in Spanish. I had to interrupt and ask again to which I was asked my name then told where to sit on the coach rather than choosing a seat. We were ignored totally from start to finish while the tour guide happily spoke to the Spanish people. I was also disappointed that there were at least 5 languages so everything was repeated when I had booked an English tour to which I could hardly understand the English anyway….apologies for the moan but nonetheless the tour itself was excellent with all the places visited

A mixed bag - A mixed bag. Toured on June 7. Driver, Yonathan, was very skilled and drove on some narrow and dangerous roads. Guide seemed like a nice guy. Time was spent moving me from hotel to another bus. Apparently several smaller vans were used to fill a big bus. Guide would speak for what seemed like 5 minutes in Spanish but guidance in English seemed like 30 seconds. I think I missed some information because English was not a priority or maybe competency? Biggest disappointment was spending too much time at toilet breaks and lunch and too little time at volcano. Only 30 minutes at volcano did not allow sufficient time to explore the national park.
