★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,613 reviews · 8 hours · from $66

A full-day loop from south Tenerife to Teide, Icod de los Vinos, Garachico, and Masca, with Mt Teide viewpoints and pickup.

“Christof the guide was brilliant, with all his knowledge of the Island and his language skills (speaking five languages!). Also the driver was brilliant too, driving on those roads obviously takes a lot of concentration. A good trip if you want to see quite a bit in one day. A long day though, with an early start too. The lunch stop was fine and cheap, but if I was doing it again, I’d find somewhere else to eat. There were a few places in the little lanes that looked nice.”

A 5-hour guided sweep of southern Lanzarote, hitting Timanfaya, La Geria wine and the Green Lagoon, with convenient hotel pickup.

“Si no te importa perderte la ruta en bus por los crateres y tal, no pilles la excursión y hazlo todo por tu cuenta en coche. Pero sino, si cojela, aunque debes saber que te dejan muy poco tiempo en cada parada… Si quieres hacerte fotos en las gerias o en el lago verde o algo tienes 20min solo… creo que se deberia dejar mas tiempo para todo en general. La actividad empezaba supuestamente a las 12.30 en el lugar de recojida (y nos han recojido a las 12.45 para llevarnos a otro lugar de la isla (a 15minutos) y luego hasta las 13.45 no ha llegado el bus de…”
