Christo was great and was flexible with our family (11 and 13 year old Celiac kiddos) He found us great food that was safe and we had a wonderful hike and local knowledge. We would definitely use him again if we ever head back to the Canary Islands!

My name is Cristo, I am a native of the North of Tenerife Island. Since 2012 I have been a tour guide & mountain guide, helping Tenerife visitors to observe and enjoy the island. I like to make tourists feel like they are at home, since for me, they are like my family for a day. I work every day to make your experience unique. From the very start, I noticed that large companies tend to see tourists as just a number, so I became a freelance guide to be able to offer my own more personal experiences. I lived for several years outside of Tenerife, in Madrid and in England. I have also traveled a lot to different parts of the world such as Europe, Asia, and Africa, savoring their cuisine and enjoying their culture. Mine is a farming family on the island, with a great tradition in crops such as bananas and wine. I have a great passion for Tenerife's culture, traditions and gastronomy having grown up in its mountains. Since I was little I always went out to the mountains to walk with my grandparents and they have instilled in me a passion for my island, its nature, and the Canarian culture. During my student period, I worked with my mother and grandfather on agriculture, in banana, wine, and potato plantations, so I am a great expert on both the plants and the volcanic geology of our island. My favorite tours are the experiences within the local culture, the Canarian pine forests, or our great Teide volcano, combining that with our famous gastronomy to make for a perfect day. Tourism Degree Master's Degree in Interpretation of the island's Natural and Cultural Heritage. Certified tourist and Mountain Guide. I have worked in the island's Agricultural Sector to learn everything about bananas & wine. Driver's license & fully insured car for passenger transportation. None

On a personal note, being able to show you a place like Anaga is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a tour guide. Being able to enjoy one of the forests that millions of years ago surrounded all of Europe but now only small places like the Canary Islands remain. I think this is definitely one of the strong points of this tour. In addition to enjoying the fact of being so close to the city and still be able to get immersed in wild nature, you'll get to experience an environment that can be enjoyed in very few places nowadays. Come with me to discover one of the most beautiful places on the island, doing a little sport and walking like our ancestors did in the middle of the forest. Tourists who've been able to experience this, leave with the conviction that the image they had of the island is totally different than what they had when they first visited, and end with a big smile. But no matter what I say, think this is one of the experiences that you have to feel and enjoy personally.

Christo was the perfect guide for our short time in Tenerife. He took us on a beautiful hike through the forest and accommodated all our needs, from providing additional jackets for warmth to adjusting the route for different members of the group. After the hike, we enjoyed a walk through San Cristobal de La Laguna. Throughout the day, Christo shared interesting information about the local area and his own experiences in Tenerife. We highly recommend Christo!
Cristo exceeded all expectations of our group. He is a true Renaissance Man, so knowledgeable in the history, geography, geology, and spirit of Tenerife and fascinating to talk with. He gave us a great flavor of the North part of the island, including a walk in a beautiful town, a walk in Anaga, a beautiful coastal drive, and a fab stop for a delicious lunch on a cliff overlooking the sea. His driving was perfect and he got us back to the ship on time. Highly recommend.
Cristo gave us a great day. He took us to beautiful lands and he told us all about the mountains and we went on a great trail. He even added extra time so we could see the town. I would recommend him as a guide.
A beautiful town and our extremely knowledgeable guide Cristo gave us a fantastic history of the town
·I'll pick you up at the arranged meeting point to then travel to the Cruz del Carmen area. ·Once we get there, we'll start to walk through a forest surrounded by laurels and other types of native rainforest plants. ·For around two hours, we'll find ourselves strolling along an easy path, coming across different types of birds such as the raviche pigeon, or turqué pigeon that only live in these areas. ·Afterwards, we will have some time to have a snack and refreshment. ·Next, we will travel to the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna to walk through its streets full of history, since it was the first capital of the island in the 16th century, and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. ·If you feel like it, we can make a stop to eat at a local restaurant, otherwise we can just return to where we started the tour from.
