We made this experience as a couple in the first days of August. It was so good and Andy is a really professional and prepared guide. Although It was in August, It was extremely enjoyable, the route presents some difficulties but overall a very pleasant experience that I would do again. Thanks again Andy for your experience and kindness.

Would highly recommend a walk with Andy. The views on the walk were lovely & being guided on the 5hour walk was excellent. We didn’t have to worry about navigating the walk ourselves & were able to enjoy the trip.
Great pick up/drop off service.

Really nice hike, Andy was very knowledgeable about the local terrain and natural surroundings. Was pleasantly surprised by the variation of landscapes on our tour. He was very friendly and arrived exactly on time. Our hotel wasn't on the list of pick ups but after contacting on his website he picked us up no problem. We do a lot of hiking at home but this gave us the opportunity to let Andy show us a great route without us having to think at all. If we come back to Tenerife we'll book with Andy again, really lovely walk, Thank You!
