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 a really great experience! A lot of rappels, not that high, but still fun. It was possible for people without any experience. The guide, Jorge, was very competent, enthusiastic and passionate about his work and he was very clear in his instructions. It felt very safe. He was very present, interested in the participants and involved everyone. He made sure that everyone had success and adjusted the difficulty as necessary.

Excellent tour! Jorge made me feel safe and confident to do all the rappels. I went during winter and it was nice because the canyon was dry so it was not so hard to walk on the rocks. I totally recommend the trip even for beginners! Tip: don't skip the jacket, it is much colder at Mt. Teide compared to the beaches.

What a fantastic day! Both guides were lovely and made the trip all the more memorable. Would definitely recommend and great value for money!

Friendly informative staff, it is cold highly recommend long trousers & fleece great experience Highly recommend from pick up to drop off
