Masca from Above - early October - This was the 2nd hike I did with Andy. Again, I can’t praise Lynne enough for the time and effort she puts into all the behind-the-scenes admin! I did NME have any worries about booking direct. As before, Andy arrived on time and the journey towards the starting point passed quickly (he’s a very careful driver). We picked up another hiker along the way and the three of us got on really well, Andy sharing stories and pointing out plenty of interesting things along the way. When we stopped for lunch above Masca the clouds hid the view, but then all of a sudden they lifted and we were rewarded with a truly beautiful sight! We were very lucky. We went through an enchanted forest, pine trees, along a balcony trail with views of Teide…the whole day was fantastic! O felt like I was a million miles away from the hustle of the tourist resorts. Thank you Andy, thank you Lynne! And if you’re wk seeing about whether or not to book - don’t hesitate - book your space, you won’t regret it!

More Great Walks with Andy - This is my second time walking with Andy, (the Wow Factor and Masca from Above) and just like the first walk back in February (Amazing Anaga), it didn't disappoint! Andy is very knowledgeable about the landscape, history, geology and vegetation of the island and I find it so interesting to learn so much as we journeyed up the mountains and along the trails. We were blessed with great weather, the views were breathtaking and the sense of peace and tranquility was awesome. Andy's years of experience as a walk leader shine through and leave you feeling safe and secure. Tenerife is such a diverse and interesting island! Looking forward to walking again with Andy later in the year!

Extremely suggested! - We made this experience as a couple in the first days of August. It was so good and Andy is a really professional and prepared guide. Although It was in August, It was extremely enjoyable, the route presents some difficulties but overall a very pleasant experience that I would do again. Thanks again Andy for your experience and kindness.

Would recommend - Would highly recommend a walk with Andy. The views on the walk were lovely & being guided on the 5hour walk was excellent. We didn’t have to worry about navigating the walk ourselves & were able to enjoy the trip. Great pick up/drop off service.

Great walk, great guide! - Really nice hike, Andy was very knowledgeable about the local terrain and natural surroundings. Was pleasantly surprised by the variation of landscapes on our tour. He was very friendly and arrived exactly on time. Our hotel wasn't on the list of pick ups but after contacting on his website he picked us up no problem. We do a lot of hiking at home but this gave us the opportunity to let Andy show us a great route without us having to think at all. If we come back to Tenerife we'll book with Andy again, really lovely walk, Thank You!
