Fantastic tour! Marco was a brilliant tour guide with a great sense of humour. Very knowledgeable and gave us all the information we needed whilst visiting some amazing places on the west of the island. Picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Camara de Lobos in a very comfortable minibus. I would highly recommend this tour.

I was quite disappointed with this tour. Ricardo, the tour guide was unsympathetic and did not engage well with the group. Additionally, the tour could have been completed in a much shorter time. There was a significant amount of unnecessary waiting around, and better time management could have improved the experience significantly. I expected more from this tour and would not recommend it. The tour could be great , but definitely it needs to be improved.
