What people are saying about Tenerife

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.

Unforgettable experience. Very well organized. Breathtaking landscapes.
