Fantastic, panoramic trip with an experienced driver and a great tourist guide. We enjoyed every moment of it. Note though that on Saturdays the cafe near the souvenir shop you stop at is closed.
Mt Teide and the west side of Tenerife were fantastic!

Can’t recall the guide’s name but he was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and it was impressive how he went back and forth between English, French, and Italian. My wife and I decided against hiring a car. We thought this sort of tour would work perfectly given we wanted to go to Teide, etc. and it did especially due to the narrow winding roads in and around Masca. Glad we did this tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Breath taking experience

An amazing experience!
The little villages and stops they took us too were all so cute and different.
Our driver was brilliant on the bends and our tour guide was incredibly friendly and informative.
Unfortunately the restaurant we were brought to us was poor, wish we were given to choice to pick from different ones.
My favourite stop was definitely Masca
All day Teinde & Mascalla Valley tour.

The overall experience was fantastic. A well worth day out exploring famous points of Tenerife. One word of caution though, at the lunch stop, don’t opt for 16 euro “3” course lunch. The soup was a mixture of pasta, vegetables and wasn’t hot. The chicken is boiled & you basically have 4 pieces of bone served. Hardly a decent piece of chicken. The dessert is a shot glass with a coconut and chocolate cream. It was tasty but 2 spoonfuls and it’s gone. However, the overall tour was wonderful with a very knowledgeable guide & excellent bus driver.
