Great experience! - This trip was great, worth every euro! Ozzie definitely knows his stuff, he is clearly very passionate and he's very easy to listen to. The views were amazing, the bus is very clean and the drive was very comfortable. The small groups are a big plus because you can ask questions and the whole trip becomes a lot more personalized. I would definitely recommend this trip and if I ever come back to Tenerife, I might even do it again.

This tour is definitely recommended!! - This tour is definitely worth it!!
The guide spoke several languages, including Dutch.
He was also very passionate and enthusiastic.
He tells a lot about the area and Teide National Park.
You stop several times at beautiful places, where the view is really beautiful.
You are with a small group and we found that very pleasant.
The tour is not too long, but not too short either.

Scam Tour Operator - Thi tour is a scam and should be taken off the Viator booking.
The tour is advertised to depart from the city. Inreality the operator and the departure point is more than 30 Miles avay. I've booked this tour in April and the operator has camcell it by phone 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time. I was disapointed and I've requested the money (US$ 131.00) back from the tour operator and from viator. As of today 17 June 2024 I didn't receive the money back. Shame on you, Viator!
