He was very friendly and knowlegable, pointing out lots of interesting plants and fungi along the way. He showed consideration for everyone in our fairly large group and even carried all our snacks and some extra clothing (as it was very cold on the hike today). We had a wonderful adventure exploring the hills and forest above Masca. The views of Mount Teide and surrounding area were amazing. I would highly recomend this trip and the company for guided hikes in Tenerife”

I was worried about being too slow and holding people up but not at all. He had tea and a cereal bar waiting for us at the top and still time to stop for photos on the way down. We were very lucky with the weather and cloud formation, our guide was even showing constellations in the dark. Even if…”
