The information given by the guide was very interesting. Also the entire place is worth visiting just to get an idea how it all works. It is definitely worth going there, especially for people who normally don't have this chance to see such telescopes. Nevertheless, we expected to look at the Sun through these huge telescopes. We were disappointed with these very small telescopes (for tours they use small standard telescopes), because the view was not spectacular at all. Red color and nothing more. So don't expect to see explosions on the Sun or anything else :) but besides this, I think this was a nice tour and I would go again, this time for the night sky.

Don't miss it!

In contradiction to the "tourist trap" of endless waiting and chaos to get a ride with the Teide cable car, we can strongly recommend to book a guided trip to the observatory. Very well organized together with a guide - Jesus - who's extraordinary positive enthusiasm and skills in astronomy affected all of us! Don't forget to bring warm clothes, shoes, hat and gloves :)

Great tour!

We were at the beginning of October for a tour of the Teide Observatory. Steffi, our tour guide, explained everything to us very well. We took away a lot of interesting facts, not only about the stars, but also about Tenerife. The booking was easy, we were very happy about the printed ticket! Everything perfect! Highly recommended!
