What's included in this tour?

The tour covers guided visits to El Teide, Icod de los Vinos, Garachico, and Masca, plus transportation from Costa Adeje. Lunch and entrance fees to specific attractions (if any) are typically not included; confirm with your supplier.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

The 8-hour duration and multiple winding mountain roads make it moderately challenging for very small children. Older children (8+) generally enjoy the scenic variety and village exploration.

How high does the tour go, and is altitude sickness a concern?

El Teide reaches 3,718 meters (12,198 feet). Most tours stop at accessible viewpoints rather than the summit, minimizing altitude risk. Bring water and rest if feeling lightheaded.

What should I wear and bring?

Layers are essential—temperatures at El Teide are 10–15°C cooler than coastal areas. Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip for village streets. Bring sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and a light jacket. A reusable water bottle is highly recommended.

Are meals included, and where can we eat?

Meals are not typically included. Icod de los Vinos, Garachico, and Masca all have local restaurants and cafés. Bring snacks or plan lunch at one of these stops.

How is the road condition to these locations?

Roads are paved but winding, especially on mountain sections toward Masca. The drive is safe but requires patience if you're motion-sensitive. Motion sickness tablets are advised for sensitive travelers.

Is okay only. the old market the guide took us through was nice but feel rush, and Lucia the guide hard to hear sometimes. The city tour in Porto was more better.
