The 6 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands
One of Tenerife's top resorts, Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of the island. Both Spanish and island traditions are evident in the former fishing village. Its Sardine Festival and annual Carnaval are two highlights of life on the island. Busy, narrow streets of the Old Town, packed with colonial architecture, make walking a safer bet than driving. Popular attractions include Lago Martianez, the casino, Parrot Pool, the Banana Plantation and the Botanical Gardens, which date back to 1788.

Working as a tour guide has always been my dream and my passion since I was a child. I love traveling to explore everything authentic about each place, each corner, its art, nature, archeology. Taste the typical dishes and assimilate all their traditions, customs and folklore.

For these reasons, I want to guide you to discover the wonders of the Canary Islands, Tenerife and specifically the amazing Teide National Park and the fantastic city of La Orotava at 360 degrees. Come with me, you will not regret it, you will live a unique and unforgettable experience!

Being in Tenerife, we also had the pleasure to visit the wonderful island LA GOMERA (lying less than an hour by ferry) A one day car trip to La Gomera exceeded my expectations. A beautiful island where we had the pleasure to go with my boyfriend and Andrea - our guide. GREAT ORGANIZATION (pick up from hotel, ferry tickets, restaurant booking, time for trekking in Parque National de Garajonay, Mirador Del Morro De Agando, Mirador de Abrante) SAFELY (traveling in a comfortable clean car, small group, anti covid measures well respected ) and a brilliant dose of information gives the feeling of a PERSONALIZED TRIP. Andrea as a guide has an amazing knowledge, tact and great personal culture that must not be confused with pushiness. It wasn't just a typical trip, it's definitely a new quality on the market. Highly recommends, the experience is worth any price.

Before the Spanish arrived, the native people of the Canary Islands were the Guanches. They were organized by tribes. These are statues to the last leaders before the Spanish conquest. There are several oher sights within a short walk of the statues, including a large beautiful cathedral.

The communication with them was wonderful! Eliazar was extremely responsive, helpful, and fast. I went on the La Gomera tour with them, although the tour was outsourced to a different company. The tour itself was great. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the driver was also very friendly. We had enough time to visit places, take photos, and enjoy some leisure time. We had some hickups regarding the pickup location. But luckily the guide was able to find me. Overall I'd still recommend the agent because of their good service. And La Gomera is definitely worth a visit!
