Fabulous Stargazing Evening - Sep 25

5.00An excellent event hosted by Craig & Kieran who gave a very professional, friendly and amusing tour of the stars and constellations above Mount Teide. The journey up the mountain was easy with a stop midway at a traditional restaurant that served us a simple but very tasty dinner with drinks. I can really recommend this tour but do dress up warm as the temp does drop at the top although warm jackets are provided if needed. Many thanks to Craig & Kieran.
Very good tour

Good Tour - Some Advice to Make It Great

4.00This was a good excursion -- the dinner stop was great -- really good food. The sunset was gorgeous. The telescopes provided amazing views. The staff was quite helpful and accommodating. Due to the advice provided in advance by the tour company, we "dressed in layers" and were very comfortable with the night temperatures. My advice to them and to someone who takes this tour would be this: 1. Since the "modern" bathrooms are closed at the sunset viewing site, UPON ARRIVAL there, show attendees where the alternative is (since it is a bit of a hike) and send the first woman and the first guy with a roll of toilet paper. It is not possible for most people, to go 5-7 hours (particularly in the night air) without facilities after providing a meal with beverages. Depending on a person's return point, it could be up to 7 hours without a bathroom after the dinner stop. 2. Between the sunset viewing and then the star gazing, people need to stand for a minimum of 4 hours on hard and uneven ground / volcanic rock. There is no seating at the sunset stop (but you can walk around) and the only seating at the star gazing is a rock wall that would be workable IF it was not made of jagged volcanic rock. And "walking around" is risky on volcanic rock in the pitch dark. We tried to sit on the wall for a while, but that was so uncomfortable that we finally went to the van and missed the last 2 viewings at the telescopes. While it is thoughtful that the staff brings a few jackets for those who can't plan (since all of the instructions advised tourists to dress for warmth in the night air), that seems far less necessary than providing long, narrow strips of padded cushions to put on top of the jagged rock wall. We all could have taken turns sitting on the "padded" wall and lining up at the telescopes. The cushions would not need to be bulky - just enough thickness to "blunt / smooth out" the jagged rocks. This was a nice tour but would have been a GREAT tour if we had not had to scavenge for tissues to use in the "auxiliary" bathroom (which did have running water and a flush toilet), and if we would have been able to sit on the rock wall without extreme discomfort while waiting for our turn to view and / or while the telescopes were being reset for the next viewing - which took a fair amount of time. The information about the "night skies" and what we were seeing was excellent.

3.00The group size was a full coach load. I would of liked a smaller more intimate experience. You stargaze in a small car park adjacent to a road. Your time on a telescope is limited to a few minutes at most. The meal, was not a high point. Our guide tried to set expectations ahead of time.
Lost $96 Tour Company Denies refund or rescheduling

1.00Due to several errors 1) mine did know that upon arriving in Canary Islands from Madrid there was a time change 2) went to the meeting place indicated n waited 40 minutes 3) a tour bus finally showed up I asked if this was the star gazing tour n the guide said yes, took my name n told me to sit in the bus. As we were on our way i received another call from another tour guide stating they waited before me but had to leave. Turns out the tour guide in the bus I was on incorrectly told me to get in. I then took a taxi for $15 back to my hotel. I called n asked if my excursion could be rescheduled for the 16th. The tour company sent me a message that they couldn’t refund my $96 n they couldn’t reschedule me. VIATOR Was great trying to help me but the las word is the Tour Operator. Not sure why they simply couldn’t reschedule me
