Wonderful walk above Masca - My daughter and I absolutely loved this walk. She’s 21 and I’m 59 and it was suitable for both of us. We were in a small group. Only six of us, and Andy made sure we went at a comfortable pace for all of us. It was a fantastic trip in beautiful scenery and Andy’s knowledge of the area only enhanced the experience. My only regret is, we didn’t book more walks with him for our stay. If we return to Tenerife, we will definitely walk with him again. Thanks Andy!

Knowledgeable, Insightful, and a Great Experience - Andy is an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the Tenerife island! He is a highly experienced hiker and took us through the forest, up the mountain with views of Teide and the Masca Valley, and to a pine forest! Every hike is different with Andy, so be ready for surprises! Not only did I get a wonderful hike, I also made friends with Andy and another hiker, Fiona! We got to taste and smell natural herbs along the way!

Excellent hiking guide in Tenerife - Excellent hiking in Tenerife - I have been on many wonderful memorable hikes with Andy over the years and today on Masca from Above. He goes out of his way to find the best hikes for the weather and is extremely knowledgeable. There really is no one better to explore this beautiful island with on foot

Beautiful views of mountains and a sense of isolation - This was our 2nd of four walks with Andy Tomkins/ Tenerife Guided Walks . The views over Masca towards the coast were spectacular. There was a lovely sense of remoteness to the walk, far from crowd. As always Andy took into account the day’s/locality’s weather to optimise our enjoyment.

Masca from Above - early October - This was the 2nd hike I did with Andy. Again, I can’t praise Lynne enough for the time and effort she puts into all the behind-the-scenes admin! I did NME have any worries about booking direct. As before, Andy arrived on time and the journey towards the starting point passed quickly (he’s a very careful driver). We picked up another hiker along the way and the three of us got on really well, Andy sharing stories and pointing out plenty of interesting things along the way. When we stopped for lunch above Masca the clouds hid the view, but then all of a sudden they lifted and we were rewarded with a truly beautiful sight! We were very lucky. We went through an enchanted forest, pine trees, along a balcony trail with views of Teide…the whole day was fantastic! O felt like I was a million miles away from the hustle of the tourist resorts. Thank you Andy, thank you Lynne! And if you’re wk seeing about whether or not to book - don’t hesitate - book your space, you won’t regret it!
