What to do and see in Tenerife, Canary Islands: The Best Cultural Tours

January 10, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

We took the Teide tour with Dirk and Mario yesterday! What a fantastic time we had! As experienced trikers already we were very impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and whole experience. The scenery is breathtaking and something not to be missed especially from the view on a Trike! Don't forget to wrap up though as it gets very chilly!!

The communication with them was wonderful! Eliazar was extremely responsive, helpful, and fast. I went on the La Gomera tour with them, although the tour was outsourced to a different company. The tour itself was great. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the driver was also very friendly. We had enough time to visit places, take photos, and enjoy some leisure time. We had some hickups regarding the pickup location. But luckily the guide was able to find me. Overall I'd still recommend the agent because of their good service. And La Gomera is definitely worth a visit!

There is no visit worth Tenerife without going through the Teide National Park. Declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2007. We will discover together this wonder of nature by standing in extraordinary places enjoying the views and taking beautiful photographs. Thousands of years have been needed for the formation of the largest peak in Spain and the third highest volcano in the world in the Atlantic Ocean, there is none that exceeds it in proportion. Inactive since 1798 (Nose of Teide). It is the most emblematic monument of the Canary Islands and we are lucky to be able to visit it.

Inclusions: Typical Canarian lunch included in the price, Private transportation, Hiking poles, Pick-up and drop off at the hotel, holiday home, etc.

This was an awesome tour, wonderfully led by Mario and Eva. We were picked up at our hotel and then taken to visit a number of locations around the island. The trip was very varied and the information provided by our guides was excellent, detailed and always entertaining. We really learnt a lot about the island and had a most enjoyable day. Our main stop was at La Laguna, where we had a delicious lunch. I fully recommend this excursion and loved Mario and Eva's kindness and sense of humor

Take this tour, you won't regret it. You'll see a lot of amazing places and hear interesting information about the places. Enough stops and time to take pictures. There aren't many tourists at the moment so you'll get the best experience and pictures. Lunch wasn't included but we had a great lunch in one family restaurant for 9€.
