Alex was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Arranging a pickup location was easy and he arrived on time. He had a wide variety of anecdotes and information about both the laurel forest and the volcanic activity in Tenerife. The hike is not a challenge for regular walkers, with a few steep inclines but all of these were short. Regarding value for money, it definitely is not a route that you'd find without significant local knowledge (we didn't see anyone else for the entire route). The views were spectacular, as was the insight in to the small community that have built their homes in to the mountain. Highly recommended.

Mariana was a great tour guide. Didn’t felt like on the school trip overloaded with not interested facts. We started at the Port Colon and 6 hours I thinking’s not enough. We spend more time driving and looking at the poor, dry land. I guess North is something we should aim for. Overall great idea for someone who’s not driving , want to see the Island and know some history of it. However should ask first how much will see.

We got to see a little more of the authentic character & areas of Tenerife, not just the really touristy expected places. We had a taste of places we would like to visit again. A very knowledgeable & friendly guide, plus a safe driver!

Fabulous! I had a wonderful trip. Christoff as the guide is engaging, humorous and knowledgeable. Thank you for the adventure. And great driving too!

It was very informative and our guide was very personable and nice
