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

Overview of your Santa Cruz De Tenerife tour

For me it would be a real pleasure to be able to show you the area where I live and where I have grown up. A local, traditional area with a great history. I will be able to show you the agriculture of the island and its famous banana plantations where I grew up and which I was able to study for years. Besides, I have a Master's Degree in the Interpretation of Tenerife's Cultural & Natural Heritage. I will also take the opportunity to show you the most beautiful places and viewpoints in my area, such as the Masca Valley, with large cliffs, volcanic walls of more than 300 meters and fantastic views. We will take the opportunity to stop for lunch so you can get acquainted with the island's flavours, and go down to the town of Garachico where I'm sure you'll fall in love with its streets and its seafaring history.

Wow! Thank you. Cristo and Touring canarias for a five star tour! From the pick up to the drop off, everything was perfect. Tenerife was such a beautiful surprise — a cosmopolitan Canary Island with dramatic coastlines, volcanic landscapes, and gorgeous ocean views everywhere you looked. It is the largest of the Canary islands and so vibrant. The island has such a relaxed, sophisticated vibe, blending Spanish culture with tropical scenery. And the weather they say they have five climates in one day and that is the truth. It could go from being gorgeous and sunny to cold and windy and rainy just like that. Fortunately, we were prepared.  Cristo set up a fabulous lunch at La Caldereta on a huge cliff overlooking the ocean. They bake their own bread and they had purple bread, black bread and white bread. Best bread ever. Local fresh fish, and amazing soup.  We even got to see Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak and one of the largest volcanoes in the world. Thank you to Cristo for making thisAn amazing stop in the Canary islands!

Cristo Manuel did an amazing job of showing us the beautiful island of Tenerife. He arranged a lovely tasting lunch mid tour. His descriptions and histories were very enlightening. Our private tour for four was safe and comfortable in his mid size van.

From pick up to drop off, the tour with Cristo was nothing short of maravilloso! He customized our tour to exactly what we wanted. Being born and raised in Tenerife, he had insight of the island that a big bus tour couldn’t possibly give. Cristo was very helpful to our older family guests, thinking of them as he navigated us through steep and narrow city streets, he would fetch the van for us once we walked downhill so that we didn’t have to walk back up it. We visited the black sandy beaches on the north side of the island, then we stopped at a charming hilltop restaurant where he had reservations for us 6 to enjoy a traditional Spanish luncheon. After, we stopped for a bit of local shopping, & then we dared the hairpin turns up to the top Mesca for the picturesque sights of the village and gorge. The entire day was a wondeful experience. We must return to Tenerife! Gracias!

Cristo is a wonderful guide. He is kind and curious and shares his vast knowledge of Tenerife's history and geography without it ever seeming overwhelming. He drove us all over the island and we got such an amazing taste of the various towns and industries across this lush, green wonderland. No matter how many questions we lobbed at him, he was ready with all the answers. We truly appreciated the time and care he took to give us an unforgettable experience. Thanks Cristo.
