Tenerife Cultural Tours

Good tour, led in two languages. The only thing is that we never stopped at Mirador de Chipeque, although it is in the program.

The perfect tour for all the south Tenerife highlights. I’m so glad I booked this tour it was really incredible to see all the sights and my guide Jose was extremely knowledgeable, I learned so much about the natural history of Tenerife. Make sure to pack lots of water and sun cream!

We had very nice views of the countryside. The tour was very well organized. The guide was nice. He was also able to realize a vegetarian lunch offer at short notice.

We were actually staying in La Gomera and did our bus tour from there. The guide was very good, there were only 4 of us who were English, so we sat at the front and she explained the history etc to us, then afterwards she used the microphone and did the rest in German. We stopped and had a walk through part of the forest to see all the views which was very nice. We then stopped at a very small pottery where you could purchase things if you so wished. Later we stopped at a restaurant for lunch (price not included in the trip) and had a look round the visitors centre. We then headed back to Valle Gran Rey where our trip started from.

Masca and the volcano were the highlights of the trip. Vehicle comfy and air conditioned. Lunch very good. Lots of stops for photos. Great to see unusual birds and lizards too. Highly recommend

I saw Puerto de La Cruz again after about ten years on a hot and muggy day. The walk is beautiful from which you can see the Martianez seawater pools with islets (on which sunbeds and umbrellas are positioned) representing the 7 Canary Islands. Some time ago I swam there pleasantly and in an even earlier moment I had been in the place below sea level which included a theater (with excellent international performances) and a casino. The visit to the older center with the houses with wooden balconies was pleasant, as was the walk in front of the church with the frangipani trees. The rest of the city is modern, anonymous. La Orotawa has a nice historic centre, but the Casas de los balconies which I remembered being better kept are a bit disappointing and their museum is not worth the €6 per person for a quick visit to the upper floor where you can't get inside for 4/5 rooms, but only look at them from the entrance door and which are furnished but have nothing more than the old houses of our ancestors. The ground floor is a whole display of tourist souvenirs with the usual things you find around including all the tablecloths and similar items, most of which are machine-made and chinoiserie. Disappointment then for the missed visit to the carpet museum (huge paintings painted with sand on the floor and depicting sacred characters) which I once remembered in front of the Casa de Los Balcones and now next door, in a municipal building which did not display any opening hours. visit and that it was closed that day. None of the managers of the surrounding premises knew when there would be someone to open it. On the way back to Los Cristianos, the stop at Candelaria was interesting, which on 15 August and 2 February celebrates the Virgin of Candelaria, patron saint of all the Canary Islands.

this is a very nice city. lots of spanish architecture to look at and to photo. plenty of museums to visit and my fav is the military museum. if into shopping then you will find what you need.

This is a beautiful city, and you will think you are in a typical mainland Spanish city, as it has all the big name shops, beautiful buildings, lovely squares/parks and narrow streets. Very vibrant as a result. So well worth a day’s visit or more.

picked up by our guide and driver, very fluent in English, we were put at ease and driven to the top of the hill, to various gardens, we walked a great deal 12000 steps, but we said we preferred walking where possible. the driver would meet us at exist and we would visit another interesting point. we finish at the market that was one of our highlight.

Beautiful city, our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Plan to return to this city at another time. Diane

Stunning views. Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. The actual trip and guide were amazing. I was disappointed however that just a couple of days beforehand I was emailed to say they wouldn't be picking us up and that we had to make our own way by bus to a hotel that we didn't know. Everyone else was picked up at their own hotels. This made it a little stressful beforehand.

Good informative tour with nice stops for photo's It's not something you can really do on public transport or even if you have a car the roads are not easy to traverse. The Guide "Ivan" was a nice pleasant and very knowledgeable guide and we were also very fortunate with weather. All in all I would recommend this over the cable car trip. It is a more enjoyable experience.

Amazing excursion! Ivan and Rafa are very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of useful information. The itenerary and timing are perfect and lunch offered very tasty!

Christina, our guide, was exceptional. So informative and her driving skills were second to none. Her knowledge was amazing and she also had a delightful sense of humour.

Tour was very informative Arancha showed her many parts of the city and some back stories We really enjoy the Casa del carnival Book with her will not be disappointed Make sure you wear comfortable shoes

We visited Santiago de Teide, Masca, Buenavista, Garachico with a great tour guide and got to see some of the typical villages of Tenerife
