5.00While we’ve been vacationing in South Tenerife for the past two winters, we were anxious to explore more of the Country, specifically the North. Our tour to Santa Cruz and San Cristobal de la Laguna did not disappoint. This was largely due to the very knowledgeable tour guide (Hector) who spoke fluently in three languages, and the experienced bus driver. We were very comfortable taking the full day tour with just the right amount of travel, guided description and free time.
Santa cruz and lovely scenery

5.00The guide Paolo was professional, prepared to answer all the questions asked (and there were not a few since they ranged from the places visited, to the buildings, to nature), nice and cheerful. Fundamental qualities for driving. I can say.... beautiful in every way!. Fernando, the bus driver, was magnificent in driving and I can assure you that this is no small thing, given the rough road and "the intersection" with car with very cooperative. A winning pairing!. I recommend them dispassionately!. Great outing!
Very mixed bag

3.00Expect to waste a very long long time with hotel pickups and dropoffs. We were #15 on the list and sat in the huge bus for an additional 2 hours. Expect a lot of driving, the mountain road was very scenic. Hat‘s off to the bus driver. The tour itself was OK. The tour was in English and Spanish, the guide‘s English was heavily accented and almost impossible to understand, especially through the bus‘ PA. The lunch stop was great, a hole in the wall local‘s place on the water. The restaurant was dirt cheap and verygood. Spring for a-la-carte and sit down outside. I really enjoyed my entire fried fish. The menu can be found by googling: menu casa africa tenerife La Laguna was quite nice and interesting, we enjoyed the Spanish style indoor market, the guide‘s walking tour of the old town was excruciatingly slow paced. We spent an hour in Santa Cruz on our own. Despite being the capital and main city of Tenerife, the town is nothing special.
Great day out

4.00We had a great day visiting Santa Cruz, San Cristobal La Laguna and Taganana. We only had an hour stop in Santa Cruz which was disappointing as we would’ve liked a bit more time to explore. Lovely place but very built up as you would expect. We went from there to San Cristobal La Laguna which is an amazing place steeped in history. We did a fair bit of walking there so this would be something to consider for anyone with mobility issues. It’s all flat but we covered a lot of ground although we stopped regularly to listen to the tour guide. From there we went on to Taganana where lunch was available for anyone that wanted it (€15 per person for 3 courses)in a lovely little restaurant. Some scary roads though getting up there but some amazing views on the way. We were a bit disappointed with the amount of time we had in Santa Cruz as we really didn’t have time to see much. Whilst the views up to Taganana were amazing, in my opinion it took up too much time in the day to drive up there just for lunch. Really enjoyed the trip though and the tour guide was very informative. The only downside being the amount of time spent on the bus.
Excellent excursion

5.00Excellent excursion we really enjoyed it. Santa Cruz was lovely although it’s very built up and very busy. We only spent an hour there and then moved on to La Laguna which was beautiful. The place has so much history and the tour guide was very thorough. We did a fair bit of walking on that stop but it’s such a beautiful place we didn’t really notice the distance. We then went on to Taganana, great views but some scary roads 🤦♀️ narrow roads and plenty of tight bends, certainly had my nerves on edge. A great day out and the places were well worth a visit. The only downside, if there is one is all the time spent on the bus,
