Excursion for clients who are staying in the metropolitan area or who arrive at the island on a cruise. Since we started the activity, in 2013, and with a very high degree of good reviews by our previous clients, we offer an activity adapted to the requests of the clients, if possible in the tour and in the price offered, always giving time to enjoy from each moment we stop to explain what we have in front of us. We give the option to customize the tour, valuing this request apart from the price initially established. If you want to make the ascent in the cable car, as well as enjoy a meal in a local restaurant, not for tourists, it will also be valued apart from the established price.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation

Exclusions: You can arrange to stop to eat in a typical place, not for tourists, to enjoy the local food. Highly recommended by our customers., Cable car: it can be done, prior to the day of the excursion, it will depend on availability of tickets.

If occurs to you to travel to Tenerife island and you want to profit your time there and get the most of it traveling as a local, Oditen is absolutely a must. Felix was a perfect host and travel guide who cares a lot about his island. He was cheerful, kind and patient, showing us around in his confortable van, and sharing lots of information about Tenerife and about every single question we made. We visited hidden gems as a natural pond, which I personally really enjoyed, and also a killer place to observe the sunset over the clouds close to Teide's pick! We also had the opportunity to try delicious local food. What I appreciated the most is his dedication and commitment on trying a more sustainable tourism in the island. Definitely an experience I would recommend! PS. 24h can be too short! In this case, you can always extend ????
