It was very experienced driver called Jorge and the guide, Antonio ( called himself Antonio Banderas), was very funny . The places was amazing, enough time to make "Instagram" photos Highly recommending this trip. Wasn't expensive at all for 2 of us and mainly we drove through the centre of Tenerife and down on the west-south side of the island and the guide gave us loads of very useful information about the island.

We had a great experience. Excellent guides! Very knowledgeable and informative. The whole experience was very well organized and orchestrated. The guides were very helpful and attentive and made the explanations in a very vivid and entertaining way. Highly recommended.
