“I went to the tour with my friend and we were lucky as it happened to be the first day in the past two weeks that the trail to the peak was open (it has been closed because of the icy conditions). Our guide Miriam was great! Special thanks to her. She was fun and gave us good instructions and told us a lot of interesting information about Teide and Tenerife in general. Getting to see the views from the peak was the highlight of our trip in Tenerife. The tour to the Teide peak was amazing. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone!Read more”

“Alex was a superb guide. Informative, entertaining and well organised and always there to lend a hand when needed. I would say the hike was challenging in parts and if you’re afraid of heights we were very close to the edge at times but the views were worth it. We discovered parts of the mountains that I don’t think you’d see if you hiked alone and it showed a completely different side to the north of the island that I didn’t even know existed. I would definitely recommend this tour 100% and I think it might of been my highlight to my holiday.Read more”
