An excellent addition to your holiday to tenerife - I booked a solo holiday to Tenerife for the first time and always like to explore. As this was my first time in Tenerife I booked three walks with Tenerife Guided Walks. Each walk has a different difficulty level so I would recommended checking out their web site to find a walk that works for you. Andy picked me up from my hotel and was alway prompt with timing for picking up, the walk itself and for returning. This made planning the day straightforward. All three walks offered great views with the opportunity to stop and take photos along the way. Lunch was always mid way through the walk and where the best view could be found. I highly recommend Andy at Tenerife Guided Walks. I also recommend checking the difficulty level and ensuring you have the right equipment before setting off.

Masca from above STUNNING WALK. - This was our second hike with Andy who is an excellent guide. He is very informative and controls the pace of the days hike making sure everybody is comfortable and getting the best experience. It was an amazingly scenic route with a variety of terrain and magnificent panoramas. The day was made more enjoyable by the friendly atmosphere enjoyed by all our fellow walkers. We would recommend this walk, and this company to all.

An excellent undulating walk - Another great walk with Andy guiding us through this undulating walk with lots of different terrains and great views. Experienced quite a few weather variations as we walked so was glad to have an extra jacket when the clouds and wind came in. Lovely group of people and would not hesitate to recommend Andy as a guide.

Wonderful walk above Masca - My daughter and I absolutely loved this walk. She’s 21 and I’m 59 and it was suitable for both of us. We were in a small group. Only six of us, and Andy made sure we went at a comfortable pace for all of us. It was a fantastic trip in beautiful scenery and Andy’s knowledge of the area only enhanced the experience. My only regret is, we didn’t book more walks with him for our stay. If we return to Tenerife, we will definitely walk with him again. Thanks Andy!

Knowledgeable, Insightful, and a Great Experience - Andy is an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the Tenerife island! He is a highly experienced hiker and took us through the forest, up the mountain with views of Teide and the Masca Valley, and to a pine forest! Every hike is different with Andy, so be ready for surprises! Not only did I get a wonderful hike, I also made friends with Andy and another hiker, Fiona! We got to taste and smell natural herbs along the way!

The Perfect way to spend your day! - The scenery was absolutely stunning, with dramatic cliffs, lush forests, and panoramic views of the island’s diverse landscapes. Our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the island’s nature and history. Andy made the experience even more enriching, pointing out hidden gems and sharing fascinating insights. Highly recommend this hike to anyone looking for an adventure in Tenerife!

Beautiful views of mountains and a sense of isolation - This was our 2nd of four walks with Andy Tomkins/ Tenerife Guided Walks . The views over Masca towards the coast were spectacular. There was a lovely sense of remoteness to the walk, far from crowd. As always Andy took into account the day’s/locality’s weather to optimise our enjoyment.
