What people are saying about Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Great tour, passionate guide/driver Joel who shared his knowledge of Tenerife’s history with us. My mum and I were picked from our hotel in Adeje and thus had a great tour around the island to the North. Vineyard / Bodega Monje was interesting, a fascinating old building, the wine tasting paired with nice snacks was very good. They organise a variety of unusual events here., check their website. Lunch was at a local Guachinche restaurant Como en Casa, rustic, homely, very busy with mainly locals and excellent food including dishes with a heritage going back many hundreds of years. This was a wonderful tour, educational, cultural, combined with great wines and delicious food.

Florencio was a perfect guide! He picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the winery and to grab a coffee with beautiful views. We then ate lunch at a typical guachinche where he visits frequently with his family. The food was absolutely delicious! It was a great experience to immerse ourselves in the culture. We would recommend this experience to anyone!

The visit to the winery was incredible, very beautiful and exceptional treatment. The guachinche they took us to makes you feel like one of the island and Jonathan our guide treated us very well.

Very nice park with a lot of interesting information about the history. The poison garden is also very interesting. In my opinion, an audio guide is highly recommended.

An interesting journey to the ancient center of the mountain village.
