This tour was good overall. The views of Teide above the clouds at sunset were stunning, literally the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen. I do have three specific criticisms: 1) the food at the restaurant was terrible; 2) the stargazing was underwhelming (this was partly due to clouds but even then I was expecting to see a lot more stars); and 3) definitely bring some motion sickness meds for the drive home down the winding mountain roads. Overall I would say it was worth it for the sunset views alone, but there were definitely things that could be improved.

Extraordinary!

Elpida_V, May 2024

Brilliant experience! Highly recommended! Tanya and Moses were lovely, Tanya gave a really interesting description on the history of Tenerife, and fun facts about the volcanos and forests around. Highlight of the experience was definitely watching the sunset and then stragazing with the telescopes and learning so many interesting things about constellations and how to navigate in the night sky!

Response from Host, May 2024

Amazing experience

Mayara_M, Apr 2024

It was a great moment, the guide explains every detail about the place and the look is amazing even from the bus. The dinner was nice and the spots we stoped by was incredible to have the view

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you so much for your 5* review! The Teide National Park offer so beautiful places by day with his lunar landscapes and by night with his starry sky! So it is amazing to have the opportunity to enjoy it! Thank you for joining us!

We had a wonderful experience throughout the day. Our tour guide Isabel was engaging, extremely funny and passionate. .

Macey_O, Apr 2024

Wow, this was the best experience we have ever had in Tenerife. From start to finish there was exceptional information from our amazing guide Isabelle. She was informative and very funny and gave us an amazing experience from start to finish. Would 100% recommend go anyway I will forever remember the amazing memories made that evening!

Amazing experience!!!

Niamh_I, Apr 2024

We were a little bit uncertain heading off on this trip as there were quite some mixed reviews. However we enjoyed every minute of the trip. Our guide was so informative and funny. The stops along the way were wonderful, fabulous opportunities to view different landscapes. The sunset was out of this world and it was made even better with the Cava. The dinner was tasty (just remember you are eating basically in the middle of nowhere, so don’t be expecting Michelin star dining) plenty of wine and soft drinks for everyone. The star gazing, there are no words, this was spectacular, it does get quite cold but I would have appreciated some extra time to admire the stars. Overall amazing experience and would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience Teide by Night in details with everybody! The Teide National Park offer so beautiful landscapes by day and to admire the starry sky at this place is one magical experience. Thank you for joining us and hope to see you one day to repeat the experience!

Great experience but eat in advance/bring your own

Ekaterina_B, Apr 2024

Sunset in the clouds and stargazing. Victor was an amazing guide- provided a lot of information in an entertaining way. Food was not great and took long to serve but with such quantity of tourists that's smth to be expected..

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy all aspects of our tour as much as our other guests, particularly the restaurant and the food you were served. We hope that you made this known to the restaurant staff when you were there. We appreciate you giving us your honest opinion, as we strive to improve every aspect and service of our tour and we need to know where the weaknesses are so that we can work on them. Once again, we apologise for this incident. However, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed other aspects of the tour. Thank you for joining us!

A great time!

kathy, Mar 2024

We really loved our afternoon and evening out with Teide by Night. The stops we made were just long enough to enjoy and get some really nice pictures. Our guide was very friendly and knew a lot about Tenerife and about the stars. It definitely was cold when we stopped for the sunset, and for the stargazing, so as much as you don’t want to pack your winter gear for Tenerife, see what you can jam in the suitcase! The dinner was fine, we enjoyed chatting with other people from the trip, and the service was quick and efficient. It’s hard to cook a five star meal for that many people, so set your expectations.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much to take time to share your experience Teide by Night in details with all readers. We are glad to read that you had a great time during the tour and that you had learnt a lot about Tenerife, his culture and the stargazing. Thank you so much for joining us!

Fabulous sunset

Marit_S, Mar 2024

Our guide, Victor, was very good. He gave us lots of valuable and interesting information about Tenerife and about the stars and space. Personally I was not very impressed by the telescopes. The sunset, however, was georgeous.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to read that you had learnt a lot about Tenerife and the stargazing. The sky at the Teide National Park is one of the starriest sky in the world, so to stargaze at this place is an amazing experience. Thank you for joining us.

Timings not good

Colin_B, Mar 2024

The star gazing. But food not so good and rushed. A lot of time spent waiting for sunset but only 45 min to eat meal.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We are happy to read that you enjoyed the stargazing part; nevertheless we are sorry that you didn't fully enjoy the dinner, we appreciate receiving the feedback of our guest, it helps us improve our services for future guests.

My spectacular day out

Steven_L, Mar 2024

Getting off the bus where the crater is and climbing to the viewing platform then being absolutely speechless. The views were absolutely amazing. The sunset and stargazing experience were both outstanding. The tour guide Daniel ( Danny ) was very informative throughout with a great sense of humour chucked in . I would highly recommend this trip

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all readers! We will let Dani know that you had a fabulous and funny trip! Thank you so much for joining us and hope to see you one day in our tour Teide by Night to repeat the experience!

Great excursion for those with limited time

Marcus_W, Feb 2024

An interesting and informative tour. Some insight into the history of Tenerife and it's people as well as the natural environment of the island. Well organised and friendly guide and driver. My only niggle is that star gazing was over too quickly but given the age range of the tour group, the cold and the terrain, its understandable but a shame as I personally love astronomy.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello, Thank you very much for such a lovely review. We really appreciate it and we are happy you enjoyed all the insight on Tenerife´s culture, history, fauna & flora and off course the nightsky. We also think the nightsky is absolutely amazing and we too could spend hours and complete nights looking up at the universe without ever getting tired. We hope to see you again on one of our tours!

Really good.

Jodi_C, Feb 2024

Really good. Get to see and do alot. Pepe (guide) was fab. Lots of good info and stops to take some nice shots. Really worth it. Do it.

Amazing sunset and stars in a stellar national park.

Jillian_C, Feb 2024

Excellent experience,our guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and especially the stargazing. The sunset with cava was amazing. Fantastic photo opportunities throughout the tour . Stargazing with laser pen guidance and then looking through the telescopes was a great experience. You need warm clothing as it gets very cold in the Teide national park but they do provide blankets as well. The dinner stop was a well oiled experience and good value. I was especially grateful for the gluten free meal as I have coeliac.

Amazing!

Michelle_M, Dec 2023

The most amazing day from start to finish. Some fantastic photo spots and the stars were beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable which added to the experience. Would 100% recommend this to anyone. One thing to point out is if you suffer from travel sickness then make sure you take your anti sickness tablets! It is very high with the altitude difference and the roads wind around the mountain all the way up and down.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and recommanding our tour Teide by Night! We are very happy to read that you have enjoyed the excursion from the beginning until the end with the stargazing! Hope to see you one day to repeat the experience!

The Tour of Tours

Alexis_H, Dec 2023

The humor once we got to the end of the tour to stargaze was fantastic. I had such a good time learning about one of things I love, astronomy. We got great service, courtesy and just lighthearted company from my group memebers. This is a don’t miss!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you so much to take time to write this nice review! The stargazing at the Teide National Park is so magical, it is amazing to have the opportunity to enjoy it! Thank you for joining us!!

Absolutely wonderful!!

Kimberly_M, Dec 2023

Victor and our driver were amazing! They were welcoming and friendly to our group. Victor was very knowledgeable of the island's history and astronomy! Loved loved loved this experience!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Absolutely amazing

Nash_G, Dec 2023

Wow - amazing experience and a very knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour. The drinks and snacks were very welcome as it was cold. Some great photo opportunities along the way and seeing the planets through the telescopes was fascinating. The laser torch was helpful to see the constellations. Unfortunately, the food at dinner was not great. The soup was delicious but the main course was poor, low quality and no taste. The veggie option looked great but was equally tasteless. It would have been tastier just to serve the soup. The rest was great.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're sorry you didn't fully enjoy the dinner, we'll work on that, but we're glad to read that you fully enjoyed the rest of our Teide by Night with the team! Hope to see you in the future! Kind regards.

A must do in Tenerife

Krists_K, Nov 2023

Our guide was Isabel, the best tour guide we've ever had! So much fun, entertaining and also educational. This trip is a definite must for anyone who's interested in astronomy and want to know more about Tenerife. 10/10 recommend! The dinner at the restaurant could have been a bit more tasty, but that's on the restaurant 🙈

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for your review! We will also definitly pass on your kind words to Isabel! When we meet you again upon one of our future tours, please let our guides or waiters in the restaurant know if there is something you don't like, so we can make changes for you. With kind regards, The Teide By Night Team
