A perfect day!
This was an amazing tour from start to finish. The locations were stunningly beautiful ,the time at each stop was perfect and well paced and our tour guide offered amazing detailed information about the history, geology, and sites of the island giving us great insight into Tenerife. This information was actually one of the highlights of our excursion. He was also very careful to balance the two languages so that nobody missed anything so we thank him immensely for his time and effort. We chose this tour because it was my husband‘s birthday and we could not have asked for a nicer birthday present! It was just a perfect day! A highlight of course, for everyone ,is the amazing skills of the driver on the extremely windy roads of the mountains. Bravo to him for keeping us safe and thank you to your entire TEAM for a wonderful day.

TENERIFE TOUR
Absolutely loved our day and the whole trip, from pick up to drop off. Excellent bus on time for pick up and drop off. Excellent Spanish and English speaking tour guide such a lovely lady, who knew everything about the Island, with alot of knowledge. And what can I say the driver of the bus was, The Best Driver and Navigater, around them mountain roads. Must admit I was a little scared at the edge and passing of other vehicles. Totally recommend this excursion if you want to see and be part of the Spanish Culture. Be warned its HIGH... Thank you to the company and people involved, you will be recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted that the whole experience, from pickup to drop-off, made your day exploring Tenerife so memorable. Our official guides love sharing the island’s history, culture and traditions, while our professional drivers know Tenerife’s spectacular mountain roads exceptionally well. The winding route through the Teno Mountains to Masca can certainly be breathtaking, both for the scenery and the altitude! This full-day tour brings together some of Tenerife’s greatest contrasts: the volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park, the Canarian heritage of Icod de los Vinos and Garachico, and the dramatic mountain scenery of Masca. Thank you for recommending Atlántico Excursiones. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Tenerife adventure! 🌋💙✨

Mindblowingly spectacular
We booked the tour not really knowing what to expect. We thought we would drive around, see a few things, and then come back. The reality was so much better than we expected. The first stop was a lovely little coffee shop halfway up the mountain. The coffee was good, and the views above the clouds were lovely. Next was Tiede. The mountain was stunning, and Laura, our guide, gave superb information. We genuinely loved visiting the park. The giant Dragon tree was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The natural pools on the coast were inviting. I would have loved to swim. Then the best bit of the trip was the road to Masca, the views from the village, and the drive over the mountain to get back to the south. The driver, Pedro, was incredibly skilled and patient with the idiots coming the other way. It was a wonderful trip, and I’m so glad we went—time well spent. I love Tenerife more today than I did yesterday. That's saying a lot, because this is my fourth trip in 3 years.
Response from the operator: What an incredible review to read! ⭐ Knowing that this was your fourth visit in just three years, your words “I love Tenerife more today than I did yesterday” mean even more to us. We’re delighted that our Tenerife Grand Tour exceeded your expectations and that every stage brought something memorable — from coffee and views above the clouds to the spectacular landscapes of Teide National Park, the ancient Dragon Tree in Icod de los Vinos, the coast of Garachico and, finally, that unforgettable journey through the mountains to Masca. Laura will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated her explanations and knowledge throughout the tour, and we’ll certainly pass your compliments on to Pedro. Driving the winding mountain roads around Masca requires great skill and experience, so we’re very pleased that his professionalism helped make the journey such a positive part of your day. Thank you for choosing Atlántico Excursiones to discover some of Tenerife’s most iconic places. After four visits to the island, it’s wonderful to know that this Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico excursion could still show you a side of Tenerife that surprised you. We hope there will be a fifth visit very soon! 🌋✨

Tries to do too much
Advantages: - well organized - bus was at pick up location beforehand and dropped off at the same location - stops were timed well, no problems accessing the toilets - most of the spots were quite nice (some small cities, Masca village, Teide national park) - Enough time for lunch Disadvantages: - The guide information was mostly about what we are passing and will pass on the route, almost no information about why locations are special - Some of the stops felt more like a lure to spend more money on things (eg coffee shops, souvenir shop, etc) - Drop off experience is super lengthy - Bus is pretty dated - The entire tour felt like a bit much - most of the stops were rushed with not enough time to actually explore the location and enjoy Overall, it’s fine for getting familiar with the island but not super interesting or suitable for people who like to explore or prefer more active options
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re pleased you appreciated the organization, punctual pickup and drop-off, well-timed comfort stops, lunch break and many of the beautiful places visited. We’re sorry some aspects didn’t fully match your expectations. Our official guides provide information throughout the journey about Tenerife’s history, culture, landscapes and the places visited, although we understand preferences regarding the depth of commentary vary. The café and souvenir stops are primarily scheduled as necessary comfort and toilet breaks on an 8–9 hour excursion; purchases are never required. Similarly, lunch at the suggested restaurant is entirely optional. As a shared tour, the return can take time because guests must be dropped off at their respective pickup points. Our coaches are professionally maintained, and medium-sized vehicles are particularly suitable for accessing Masca’s narrow mountain roads. Finally, Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca are considerable distances apart, so stop times must be balanced to visit all four in one day. This tour is designed to offer a broad introduction to Tenerife; travellers seeking longer exploration or a more active experience may find a dedicated or private tour more suitable. Thank you for choosing Atlántico Excursiones and for helping us improve with your feedback. 🌋✨

Grand Tour Tenerife
The Grand Tour excursion in Tenerife was amazing and very well planned. Everything was organised perfectly, and we got to see and experience so much of the island. Our guide, Laura, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole day. She made the excursion even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour and would happily do it again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review! 😊 We’re delighted that you enjoyed discovering so many different sides of Tenerife in one day. Teide National Park, Icod de los Vinos and its Millenial Dragon tree, the vigorous natural pools of Garachico and the breathtaking Masca Valley are indeed amongst the most iconic destinations of Tenerife! Laura will be especially happy to receive your kind words — her knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication are a great part of the experience. Thank you for recommending our Tenerife Grand Tour. Knowing that you would happily join us again is the best compliment we could receive! We, the entire team of Atlántico Excursiones, hope to welcome you back to Tenerife for another adventure. 🌋✨

Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.
Is Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 223 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip?
+
Around 78 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tenerife?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tenerife?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tenerife Grand Tour: Mt Teide, Masca, Icod and Garachico Day Trip?
