Jaime was a great guide. His enthusiasm shines through. His local knowledge and ability to speak both German and English to a very high standard was commendable. He strikes a good balance to enable some free time during the trip. You can see that he really wants to give his clients a positive experience. I would recommend this trip if you want to see a corner of tenerife that most people ( probably ) don't get to see. He worked hard all day to ensure our happiness. The fact that he only takes small groups also helped. We didn't have to do a tour of lots of different hotels , picking up and dropping off lots of people beforehand. ( 5 in our group plus jaime ). I normally like to do adventures without paying for a guide, but on this occasion I was happy to do so. I have done a couple of trips with getyourguide and I find that the big coaches and lots of pick ups / drop offs in large coaches ruin my experience. Jaime is self employed and does everything himself. I recommend him. gracias.

A great tour through the Anaga mountains with a few stops in the cities of Northern Tenerife. Very detailed explanations of the history and landscapes of the island with many stops at viewpoints. We enjoyed a short stop at Benijo beach with a chance to go swimming there. It was the perfect start to our vacation and gave us plenty of information to enjoy the rest of our trip!

Jaime is an excellent guide & is extremely knowledgeable about Tenerife. We felt like we got to see a side of the island that few others do.

Our guide, Jaime, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and great at incorporating our interests and needs into his tour.

Top class guide, great english, good location for food and comfortable car. Best day of our travel to Tenerife.
