SANTA CRUZ-LA LAGUNA-TAGANANA
MANISHA KASHYAP: 02/06/2023
Good Morning! We booked 5 tours altogether with Atlantico. Over all we are happy with most part of the tours, starting from bookings, pick up and excursions. But there are few points that I want to highlight to make the two trips better. 1. Santa Cruz-La Laguna-Taganana- Had enough time to see Santa Cruz , La Laguna and Anaga Rain forests. In the description of the website, it states that after having lunch (Note-there was very limited choice for vegetarians and just one restaurant open in that area) in Taganana, we will visit golden sands of Las Teresitas beach. But we just spend time in Taganana only. This was little disappointing as my kids were looking forward to visiting the Las Teresita beach. 2. Teide Masca (Grand Tour)- I feel this trip was rushed as we had only half hour at Teide, Los Vinos was fine -1 and hour given- enough time to roam around and have lunch. But after that we had only photo stop at Garachico- that was disappointing as we wanted to spend some more time there. No time given to walk through the cobbled streets of its historic-artistic center, one of the most representative of the Canary Islands, or admire the impressive natural pools of volcanic lava as written on the website. Masca also we just got half an hour to explore. The trip was cut short by 2 hours as we were dropped to our hotel by 4 pm. The website says approximately 9 hours and we were the first one to be picked from La Caleta at 7:50 am . So the actual trip started around 9 pm. Please could I have explanation for why we were not given enough time to explore Garachico? Kind regards Manisha

TANANGA, SANTA CRUZ, LAGUNA
NETTLEY: 15/07/2022
The content of the tour was outstanding particularly Laguna and the scenery in Tanananga. The start of the tour was a little unsatisfactory. We were picked up by a small bus in Puerto de La Cruz and taken to Santa Cruz for the start of the tour. Having briefly met the tour guide he just said that we had an hour to look around Santa Cruz with little briefing on what to look for. Something needs to be done about that. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable day.
EXCELLENT TRIP
CAROL COBHAM: 15/06/2023
We had previously been on the trip to La Laguna and Masca and were not particularly happy with it so were delighted that this one turned out to be so much better. Our guide was very fluent in English and was clearly fiercely proud of his Island about which he was very knowledgeable. At no time did we feel rushed and had time to explore Santa Cruz and La Laguna at our own pace. The restaurant recommended for lunch at Taganana was excellent with traditional canarian food and excellent service from friendly waiting staff who wanted to keep refilling our wine glasses and encouraging us to have more fruit and ince cream. Such a contrast from the restuarnt at Garachico and at only 5Euros more was worth considerably more. Unlike our trip on 13th to Masca our guide did not ask for any gratuity for himself or the driver and consequently we were happy to show our appreciation.
