If you have a chance to do the Wow factor walk - take it! - Another great walk with Andy, away from the crowds in Masca village and canyon. Will absolutely recommend. If you only have one day available for a guided walk in Tenerife, make sure you book Tenerife Guided walks' "Wow factor" walk. It truly is amazing!

Great tour! - Our third and final walk during our visit to Tenerife was through the Enchanted forest Above Masca. Great tour in the north west part of Tenerife with Andy as our guide. Scenery and vegetation like nothing we have seen.

Beautiful! - This guided walk was a nice change from the beach, and really showcases Tenerife's varied ecosystem - the plants and climate actually changes quite dramatically throughout the walk before your very eyes! Since Andy has been hiking around Tenerife for many years, he also had some interesting insights into how climate change has impacted the island. The group was very small (only 6 of us in total), and we started the walk early, so we weren't disturbed by other, much larger groups.

Fantastic Day Hiking - This was the first of two fantastic walks that my husband and I did with Andy. We were part of a small, mixed group of 5 who after a short journey in the mini bus were able to hike through fantastic scenery for around 5 hours. The pace was steady allowing time to really appreciate the walk through the forest and the views from the mountainside. What really stood out for me, aside from Andy’s knowledge and experience, was the length of time we were able to walk. I’ve been on other “hikes” where it’s been a lot of driving followed by a few fairly short walks. This trip takes you into the heart of the countryside and offers a proper hike in a beautiful place that I wouldn’t otherwise have seen. I’m so pleased I booked and will definitely do so again.

An excellent addition to your holiday to tenerife - I booked a solo holiday to Tenerife for the first time and always like to explore. As this was my first time in Tenerife I booked three walks with Tenerife Guided Walks. Each walk has a different difficulty level so I would recommended checking out their web site to find a walk that works for you. Andy picked me up from my hotel and was alway prompt with timing for picking up, the walk itself and for returning. This made planning the day straightforward. All three walks offered great views with the opportunity to stop and take photos along the way. Lunch was always mid way through the walk and where the best view could be found. I highly recommend Andy at Tenerife Guided Walks. I also recommend checking the difficulty level and ensuring you have the right equipment before setting off.

An excellent undulating walk - Another great walk with Andy guiding us through this undulating walk with lots of different terrains and great views. Experienced quite a few weather variations as we walked so was glad to have an extra jacket when the clouds and wind came in. Lovely group of people and would not hesitate to recommend Andy as a guide.

Wonderful walk above Masca - My daughter and I absolutely loved this walk. She’s 21 and I’m 59 and it was suitable for both of us. We were in a small group. Only six of us, and Andy made sure we went at a comfortable pace for all of us. It was a fantastic trip in beautiful scenery and Andy’s knowledge of the area only enhanced the experience. My only regret is, we didn’t book more walks with him for our stay. If we return to Tenerife, we will definitely walk with him again. Thanks Andy!

Knowledgeable, Insightful, and a Great Experience - Andy is an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the Tenerife island! He is a highly experienced hiker and took us through the forest, up the mountain with views of Teide and the Masca Valley, and to a pine forest! Every hike is different with Andy, so be ready for surprises! Not only did I get a wonderful hike, I also made friends with Andy and another hiker, Fiona! We got to taste and smell natural herbs along the way!
