I would like to say a massive thank you for the company, especially the lady who phoned us because we wasn't in the bus stop, so long story short, we mixed up the days and we thought was next day the trip. But they very helpful and gave us the opportunity to meet the bus at the next stop. We made it Back to the trip! 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.

This was an incredible experience! Kieran and the team kept you up to date on where to meet. Unfortunately the cloud conditions on Tuesday meant the team had to postpone but did this in enough time with the option to rebook, which we did for the next night. We came on Wednesday and they definitely brought the wow factor to the night! Not only could we see the sky lit so beautifully with stars, but seeing them close up with telescopes was breathtaking. The whole evening was enjoyable throughout and we are so thankful for the team for being excellent and accommodating. Thank you!!

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.

Brilliant trip - started off with coffee and cake in Vilaflor, then we stopped at several viewpoints whilst travelling up to Teide. We had Cava and mulled wine whilst watching the sunset then onto seeing the stars.

Very well organized tour in a confortable bus. Guide was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the island. Spectacular sunset view. Unfortunately clouds came in play and could not see stars.
