Awesome activities. Teide is a very unique spot and it was a great pleasure to discover it. The sunset was beautiful and night sky as well.

Amazing guides and activity

Briljant sunset and stargazing was amazing!!!

On the booking it said; 8h of activity which we made only 4h at the end. By far, it was beautiful the views. I've been with my partner and we both fell in love. The staff was so kind and they were so happy to explain us everything! I would totally recommend!! ***

Genuinely recommend the sunset/astronomy package. We had 3 children with us, aged 9 to 14, and they all loved the ride to the top and the walk to the sunset viewing point (do wrap up well for that!) The guide was knowledgeable and informative - getting the balance between education and letting us enjoy the spectacular scenery exactly right. The astronomy lecture was amazing - his enthusiasm kept my 9 year old entranced despite her being tired, cold and not as into stargazing as her sisters. 5 out of 5 - if I could give it more I would

Great tour - with knowledgeable guides for both elements.

The nature was 5star. What disappointed us was how it was run. Far too many people especially in the English speaking groups. We had to hang around for an hr after the time given ,(to wait for all the other groups to go up first.) Its also not clear that you have to book in around the side of the building to get your band and if you have a teen under 14 make sure u at least have a photo of their passport or they will make u buy an adult price for them. Squashed in the cable car so difficult to move and therefore only got fleeting glimpses of the gorgeous sunset view on the downward journey. The guides sadly added very little to the experience. Re sunset tour The guide had a strong accent so was difficult to understand and was a bit boring in his hunour. The star gazing again amazing to see but again the guides sadly added very little. It was somewhat chatoic due to the numbers. We had the same guide who kept switching to German despite it being the “ English speaking group” the other guide spoke so fast he was also tricky to understand and both tended to repeat what the other person said . They need to communicate with each other. The amount of time you have with the telescope was seconds due to the numbers and wasnt worth the queing up for. My advice , go on the sunset tour as thats the only way you are able to be up there at that time . Then wait in your car for an hour and look up and see the stars your self . Or even better use an app to help point out what you are seeing .

The sunset was amazing. Go for that. But... The star gazing felt disorganised and with far too many people for it to be enjoyable. You were in a car park (disappointing) with three large portable telescopes looking up at the sky as three guides, each with a group of about 25 peope, each used laser beams to point out features in the skies. They were nice people, but after you’ve been craning your neck for 20 minutes as they move about the sky rapidly and try and explain in their second language to strangers how this constellation looks like a horse, it gets tedious and painful. The lines for the telescopes were so long that after nearly an hour we still hadn’t had a look in one, and so we left early...but they had locked the car parking gate with no explanation of how to get out. Three cars drove up to the exit and eventually we climbed under the gate and found an intercom system that let us out. I rarely write a negative review, but I would have wanted to know this information before I booked.

*****

We were unable to watch the sunset and do the stargazing from the top due to wind conditions. We were frustrated as this was not communicated to us until we arrived for our tour. Although we were annoyed, we were happy that we were refunded the cable car portion as the plan b sunset location was subpar. The stargazing experience was very exciting and we did enjoy being with a real astronomer and using the telescopes. The guides were all very friendly and kind to us during the experience, however we felt they were a bit unorganised or inexperienced. There were too many interruptions during our small group experience with the astronomer that we felt could have easily been prevented. If you’re going to disappoint customers with this plan b alternative, it’s best to make it go as smoothly as possible. The parking lot is not a good location if people are driving in and out and have small children getting in and out of cars. We understand you cannot control the wind conditions, however there needs to be a more controlled environment for the stargazing experience.

*****

watching the moon was lovely! First part of the event was really nice thanks to the equipment. Second part where somebody explained all the constellations without seeing them, was really boring and again we had to wait a very long time before the events started.

Excellent guides. Great food. Fantastic service.

Tour experience mis-sold...very disappointing

We never got the cable car fair refunded as promised. The best part about the experience was watching the stars and getting the astronomy lessons. I am not sure if I would recommend this excursion to anyone... currently I am probably more likely to advise against it. The dinner was more like a food tasting event than an a actual dinner. The sunset and bubbles was beautiful, and we got some interesting facts on the bus over there.

*****

would not buy again - €*** per person was a real rip off. Go for a sunset, but bring your own picnic, and look at the stars somewhere else away from 90 other people. Not a romantic experience or ultimate deal.

'"This is overall a great experience but could be tweaked to make it even better for the price. But it is the only way to see the sunset at the peak of Teide (basically going up the cable car after the official closing time) and do star gazing as well, so there is no real competition if you want an all-in-one activity. Our main criticism was that the stated time of arrival is about an hour before the activity actually starts with the drive in the cable car up to the top of Teide. It would be much better to have a drinks reception while people are waiting. Otherwise people are just hanging around and not even water is offered. Afterwards everything worked very well. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Cable car trip and sunset at the top are lovely - you are offered a glass of bubbly there! - and plenty of opportunities for photos. Make sure you bring a jacket and comfortable shoes for mildly strenuous walk of about 20 mins each way. Gorgeous landscapes all around. After cable car ride down, it is time for buffet dinner which is tasty and plentiful with Canarian wines flowing. It is not Michelin star level in terms of creativity, but if you expectations are realistic, you should not be disappointed. While we were eating, experts from the Observatory were setting up 4 telescopes pointing at the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Although there were about 50 of us, we had more than one opportunity to view the planets through all of the telescopes, so it should not feel busy. Make sure you book on a night when there is no full moon, otherwise you won''t see much! We had perfect viewing conditions, bot of the stars with the naked eye and the planets with telescopes. Astronomers from the Observatory take groups by language to point at all of the constellations. We were even able to see the Milky Way. They throw in quite a bit of science in the chat, which suits more people more than others. Overall a great experience!"'

It was a very nice and well organized trip. The guides were friendly and explained everything very, very well.

Absolutely amazing experience, we booked for the sunset and stars as a birthday treat whilst on holiday for birthday. The organisation of your trip was fantastic. The Bus arrived at pick up point on time, tour guide came to introduce herself, (I think called Shona/Rhona) was very polite and friendly, drive up was fantastic and the trip up tiede was amazing, we were put into separate groups with our language, we were English. we were well looked after from start to finish. Stargazing was also as amazing as the sunset. 100% recommended an absolute unforgettable and very special experience.

Dadurch, dass ich es als etwas eilig empfunden habe, fand ich es etwas zu teuer.

*****

Enjoyable. Path to look out was very rocky, which wasn't explained. This made it very difficult for many to make it to the end of the path. Dinner was actually appetizers, and cocktails were wine and beer. A lot of idle time waiting to be "herded" into groups. Driver, guide, and overall program were, however, good.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I'm glad that there was the option for a hotel pick up as I was a lone traveller and hadn't hired a car. Christian was very lovely and informative as he shared some local history and we stopped off to see how a certain rock formation was made as we were driving up Mount Teide. My only negative feedback was the driving up and down the mountain made me feel very car sick, and I wasn't the only one. Unfortunately it can't be helped as the roads are very windy. Rudi was a great guide and very informative as we went up the cable car and onto a short hike to watch the sunset. That was such a beautiful sight; the landscape was breath taking. Afterwards the buffet dinner served the right amount of food to go round and with enough variety too. It was great to sample the Canarian foods. I can't remember the name of the guide who took the English speaking group, but it was fascinating to hear him talk about the constellations and the night sky; his passion really shone through his speeches. I was most impressed and having never looked through a telescope before, I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Thank you so much for organising this tour,- it was well thought out and interactive and everyone is so knowledgable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for something special and different to do in Tenerife.

Expensive when you are at the South of the Island. It was twice the money people from the north pay!

Excellent from booking to trip itself

We were picked up on time and had 3 stops on the way which were incredible. Our bus guide, *** was really friendly and knowledgeable and was able to care for us and answer and questions. The driver *** was very calm and drove beautifully throughout the amazing landscape. It was like the warm up before the main event.

Puntuales en la recogida. Buena explicación y organización de la excursión.

We heard about tours from Food & Travel magazine. Organisation prior to trip was unsatisfactory as we were told only the day before that due to ‘organisational difficulties’ we could not be collected from our hotel despite booking several months before. We were offered several less good options and a refund as the meal was no longer possible. Our correspondent by email also got very confused. However, the trip itself was excellent. Victor our guide was excellent (his name does not appear on the other feedback!)

Great experience.

We did not receive an email or sms text message confirming our pick up point and time as promised in the booking information. We had to phone the office in Tenerife the day before the trip to find out. The transfer up Mount Teide went smoothly, as did the cable car trip to the top but it was a rush to get to the viewing point for the sunset. The star gazing was good and we were impressed to be able to see the planet Saturn. But our group was very big and we had to queue for a while to look through each telescope. The star gazing guide was wonderful but he spoke very fast and it was hard to keep up with his explanations. Our suggestions to make the trip even better - 1. Put a big sign on the transfer bus indicating the trip it is doing (we waited outside a hotel where a lot of people were getting transfers to the airport and all the buses were confusing). 2. Insist that people bring extra layers of clothing - they can be left on the bus if they are not needed, we didn't realise just how much the temperature would drop as we went up the mountain - 27 degrees F by the hotel pool, 5 degrees F at the cable car. 3. Some sort of low level discrete lighting on the floor around the telescopes, to prevent people bumping into them or each other.

My wife and I were really disappointed with this €80 tour. We were picked up in Costa Adeje and the journey to Mount Teide was good. On arrival we were split into language groups and boarded the cable car accordingly, the English speakers were last. On arrival at the top we made our way to the vantage point to watch the sunset, by the time we got there the sun had all but disappeared. We've viewed better sunsets from the balcony at our hotel. We then returned to the base station for the star gazing, there were approximately 30 people, in the dark, queuing up to view the stars through 4 telescopes, we didn't find this enjoyable. Later one of the staff tried to explain the solar system with the aid of a laser pointer. He was obviously very knowledgeable but too fast for us to take the information in. His talk was spoiled for us by an annoying girl who giggled constantly as he talked, when I complained, his suggestion was that I move away from her, I didn't take kindly to that suggestion. The view of the stars was wonderful but spoiled by being in too large a group. The journey back was good. I do not recommend this tour.

Well organised trip from start to finish. Interesting information re the history of the volcano and the Naitional Park. Great guides provided a wealth of information and advice. Stargazing was brilliant and suited all knowledge levels in group. Would highly recommend the trip.

We had a very nice experience. The guides were very helpful and friendly. We went on El Teide around sundown. It was nice but we didn't have much time on El Teide which was a bit disappointing. You had to be quick if you wanted pictures, we walked to the second viewing point and once we got there and took a picture, we needed to go back to the cable cars. We expected to see the other islands but there were a lot of clouds (I know the guides can't change the weather haha ;) It was just a bit disappointing but the views over the national park were also very pretty.) Then we went down to eat and after that we went stargazing. The groups were around 15 people, I guess, so you have enough time to look through all telescopes. It was very nice and the guide learned us a lot about the stars etc. I would definitely do this again and I really recommend this! Take some warm clothes with you because it's very cold. When we went it was around 0°C. Don't underestimate it. ;)

Highly recommended!! Wonderful experience!!

Good value for money for a great excursion.

'"waste time and money, don''t take this trip"'

Purchase and pickup worked without any problems

'"Lovely day out if you''re looking for a break away from the beach. The sunset is breathtaking and the night sky tour is both informative and fascinating. Strongly recommended!"'

We were so pleased that we booked this tour. It started after the Park was closed to the public so wasn’t too crowded. The sunset part takes place after the cable car ride at about 3500 feet. The air is quite thin so may not be suitable for everybody. The walk is on rocks and boulders with a slight incline. You need sensible shoes. Because of the air quality the walk is harder than at a lower level but worth it for the view.The planet and star tour is at a lower level and it was amazing to see planets close up. The guide used a laser pen to highlight stars and constellations in the sky. Wrap up warm and enjoy, it’s amazim!

Everything was great: we were picked near our hotel, took some photos on the way there, have seen the sunset and later stargazed under the guide of quite passionate astronomers (?). Later we were dropped off right at our hotel

Der Leiter kann ganz gut Deutsch sprechen！

A very enjoyable trip. Lovely food. Fantastic and knowledgeable guide. Stargazing was informative.

Amazing experience.

Great experience that was enjoyed by everyone in our party. We did have very good (if cold) weather which obviously helped. The tour leaders and star gazing experts were excellent.

Really enjoyed it but unfortunately my husband tripped over a rock during the stargazing and broke his ankle. It might be better it the gravelly area with the rocks in was roped off during the stargazing activity to prevent this happening to someone else.

The bus for the transportation from the south to Teide was in poor condition. Passenger airconditioning and passenger lights did not work. The guide in the bus was rude and we did not feel welcomed. The microphone on the bus was also in such a bad condition we could barely hear what the guide was telling us. This was a shame, since we wanted to know more about Teide. The guide telling about the stars on site was really nice and views were good, but the two hours ride there and another two hours back with the bad bus and rude guide ruined the experience from us. The tapas food was OK but nothing special and definitely not something you would expect from a 2-Michelin star cook, as advertised. The walk on Teide at night fall is nice, but the guide services, poor bus transportation and average tapas was not worth the money we paid (***€ per person).

We enjoyed the tour. The view from Teide was amazing. The guides are quite knowledgeable. The dinner was great. It gave a good sampling of local dishes and wines. The stargazing was impressive, again the guides passion and knowledge was impressive.

Overall a very good excursion. The guide was excellent. The cable ride, walk and sunset was nice. The finger food was good quality and more than enough. Especially the star gazing was great. Very capable guide, great explanation and with the top of the bill the three telescopes witch magnificent views of Saturnus,, Jupiter and the Moon. Worth the money!

Great Value Great Value!!

Expensive - would be worth it if everything worked perfectly.

Perfect and beautiful experience.

Excellent tour, well organised, delivered on expectations.

Excellent trip well worth a visit

Poor value for money and would not recommend
