We are passionate about cultures, people, communications, outdoor activities, and hiking.
We have been working as travel guides in Tenerife for more than 10 years, and our passion is providing people with personalised and customized tours and experiences.
The unique Teide National Park experience is one of our favorites, and it's the highlight of Tenerife. You will enjoy every moment of it!
Being able to relax during the entire experience and we'll guide you through every area. Also, we will provide you with information and stories about the national park and history of the island which is very interesting and makes the experience unique and special.
Not to forget, we only organise small groups and this makes the entire experience much more comfortable and more personalised rather than joining a big bus with way too many people on the tour.
