Fantastic tours with a fantastic guide
My wife and I took the volcano tour to Teide and had such a great time and were so impressed with Jaime that we booked 2 more tours with him- -one to La Gomera and one to La Laguna and Santa Cruz. All three tours were fantastic. Not only is Jaime a great (and careful) driver on super twisty mountain roads but he is an engaging conversationalist who is highly knowledgeable about Tenerife. Because he knows the islands so well he also was able to give us some breathtaking photo ops and pick some great places for lunch. In multiple decades of traveling he was one of the very best tour guides we ever had — tailoring the tours to our interests!
Response from the operator: Dear Bernard and Sue, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, it was an absolute pleasure to share not just one, but three private tours with you! I’m truly honored that you chose Feel Tenerife to help you discover the unique beauty of Tenerife and La Gomera. From the volcanic landscapes of Teide to the charm of La Laguna and the vibrant life of Santa Cruz, each day with you was filled with meaningful conversation, shared curiosity, and genuine joy. I’m especially happy to hear that the balance of scenic routes, breathtaking photo stops, and memorable food experiences left such a strong impression. Creating personalized, enriching moments like these is exactly what being a private tour guide is all about. Hearing that you consider this one of the best guided travel experiences in all your decades of exploring the world truly humbles me. I’ll always be grateful for your trust and warmth and I’ll be here anytime you're ready for another private tour. Warmest regards, Jaime | FEEL TENERIFE

Amazing Tour of Tenerife!
Jamie was an amazing tour guide - it was our first time in the Canary Islands and we were overwhelmed about what to do on Tenerife. Jamie made the whole day perfect by showing us the park and protected areas, answering all of our questions, and filling in bits about history of the island along the way - from its geologic formation all the way up to the present day. There wasn't a question we asked he couldn't answer! His recommendations on food were great too - especially the coffee and wine! Highly recommend this tour for anyone who visits the island - you just won't get the same experience trying to see it all on your own!
Response from the operator: Dear Philip THANK you very much for your words. I really enjoyed while customizing the tour for you considering it was your first time on the island. Nature, gastronomy, local people, economy and culture are a must for me during my tours. Specially what makes Tenerife unique compared to other holidays destination you can travel. I´m glad to confirm you enjoy the day with and that the day was memorable. The knowledge and know-how of a LICENSED tour guide makes a tour valuable definitely, THANK you for apreciate it!. Best wishes! Jaime Muñoz Feel Tenerife

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tenerife South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Tenerife South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes cost?
+
Prices start at $765 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 South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes?
+
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 South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tenerife South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tenerife South Private Tour: Secrets of the Volcanoes 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, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. 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.
