Very nice hike ! alone in the nature very peacefull and full of energy! Alex was very nice friendly funny and full of information about tenerife! exactly what i wqs looking for! very nice too to have the pick up at the hotel booked at the last minute the evening for the day after and perfect communication through whatsapp ! rain forest and Anaga is very different from other parts of tenerife!

Super reorganized. Very good driver. professional. New bus. Very friendly and helpful guide. Without a long wait for the cable car ride. It is worth booking because with your own transport you will spend a fortune on fuel and there may be no tickets for the cable car.

Alex was a great guide. I’m not that great with heights and he recognised this and helped me through the more challenging sections. Amazing views. Well worth it because this is the sort of hike I don’t think you could do without a guide.

Guide and the driver were excellent. Everything went smoothly and we got plenty of information about Teide and nature around it. Great experience.

the sir was very passionate about what he told us and we had a great time
