The tour company wasn't very responsibe to inquiries. The pick up location was up in the air and I sent several messages via the Viator app and got barely any responses. Closer to the tour date I had the same issue with them taking days to respond, or giving vague answers. Basso was the guide assigned to us. He was very knowledgeable, but spent a lot of time on his phone, even while driving us around very winding mountain roads. He also didn't seem to have a plan at the start of the day and asked us what we wanted to see. It was our first time in Tenerife, so we really had no idea. He did take us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch, and showed us beautiful views from very high vantage points, but not certain we truly saw everything the island had to offer.

Excellent guide who was able to answer our endless questions. Plenty of time at the stops. And an early (9am) start meant we missed the crowds and traffic jams in August. Absolutely beautiful island.
Basso was THE BEST tour guide we have ever had. He came to pick us up at our hotel and took us to various cities / villages around Tenerife. He drove safely (not easy task for the many twist and turns of the south coast) and was knowledgeable about the island’s history, its vegetation and the different micro climates. He gave us time to explore on our own at each stop and was very patient with the kids (10, 8 and 6 years old with lots of energy). We also stopped to eat at a guachinche (authentic Canarian food) and a typical bakery - both very good! We will never forget this experience and we highly recommend this tour to family with children that want to take their time exploring and making memories.
We had an amazing full-day private tour of Tenerife with Basso at Get Holiday. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and generous with his time, going above and beyond to ensure that we saw everything we hoped for. We learned so much about Tenerife and the history/culture of the Canary Islands, and we saw some stunning scenery that we would never have been able to manage on our own. He also took us to an authentic restaurant off the beaten path for lunch that was built inside someone's home and the food was absolutely delicious. We felt very safe with Basso driving us on many winding roads at high elevations and were thankful that we had a pro at the wheel. This tour was worth every penny and I highly recommend for anyone who wants to see the full beauty of this island with an awesome tour guide.
We had several great tours organized by Getholidays. Planning with them was very easy, everything was seamlessly organized with only 3-4 emails. Basso our guide was very knowledgable, fun and kind. I would recommend it to anyone.
This trip & tour guide was fantastic! Basso picked us up at our hotel, took us on a tour around the island & could answer every question we had about the island. He was extremely knowledgeable & put together a tour that really helped us understand the history, culture & environment of the island. This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. The communication was excellent ftom start to finish. The transportation van was clean & very comfortable. We give this tour guide & company our highest recommendation. We suggest scheduling ahead of time as this is a very popular company on the island. Thank you, Basso! You were amazing!
Very nice experience and great time with our guide! He was really nice and patient, explaining everything and letting us understand more about Tenerife! Great tour and interesting to explore!
Wonderful hiking in the Teide's natural park with really competent guide. Beautiful landscapes, and views.
We had a great tour with Basso who was a very freindly guide with great knowlege about the island. Tank you for helping us with the phone 😃🙏❤️ Family Qwist
We had a great day with Basso around the island. Basso was a passionate guide with extensive knowledge about the island. He gave us many valuable tips regarding Tenerife. Highly recommended, great value for money! Minna & Björn Sweden
My girlfriend and I spent the day touring Tenerife with Basso. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, as well as a reliable driver. I'd definitely recommend booking this tour to anyone interested in seeing more of the island. 10/10
My husband and I had the good fortune to do a tour with Basso Lanzone of Get Holiday. He is well informed, punctual,friendly and very professional. His love of the island is contagious and he made the trip feel real and genuine which is something other tourist companies could learn. We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Teide, masca valley, garacchico and more. We highly recommend him as a guide and hope to do more touring with him in the future.
Really, do NOT look any further. Even if you want to do other type of tours, just contact Basso thorough the GetHoliday website. We had the most amazing day around Tenerife, from the breathtaking landscapes of the Teide National Park to the history-packed villages in the north-west. Basso is clearly doing this because he loves it. The amount of passion and hard work that led him to being recognized as an official guide of the Canary Islands is clearly reflected in the volume of information he is able to reveal. Trust me, I tried hard, but even after almost 8 hours of questions, I was not able to find something he did not know. Point at a plant: he knows its name, its latin name, and its role in the flora of the island. Point at a mountain: he knows its name, its origin, and most probably its altitude. If you really want to learn something about Tenerife rather than just looking at nice landscapes, than he is the man!
From the moment we were collected from our hotel, Basso was an excellent guide. We had a private trip for the two of us and decided to let Basso choose where to go (this was our first time in Tenerife). We drove to the north of the island, up, over and around the mountains. Stunning scenery and scary roads but we always felt safe. We were at Mount Teide as the sun set and the view above the clouds was stunning. One tip is to wear warm clothes - long trousers and a jacket as it is very chilly when you eave the south
We arrived in Tenerife for a week long Concert tour with 45 musicians and a variety of activities planned and Basso was our guide and tour manager for the entire week! We couldn't have had a more informed or better guide. His knowledge of the Island is without doubt exceptional and it was his expert knowledge that ensured that we had the most outstanding concert tour of Tenerife with all concerts managed expertly, all trips and visits to several tourist attractions completely on schedule and the transport was excellent throughout. The trip to the Teide National Park was informative and the entire party was engaged throughout the whole time by both Basso and Mary (also a fabulous tour guide) - no mean feet with 45 teenagers! Basso expertly and competently handled the whole week of trips and concerts. His local knowledge is second to none and we would recommend him, without reservation, for any tours within Tenerife whether that be to Teide or any other trip on the Island.
<p>We had a lovely day with Basso! He gave us lots of information about the many places we visited, introduced us to the hidden gems of Tenerife, as well as the must-see places, and made our day fun and educational. We had plenty of time at each stop, and enough stops to admire the beauty of the island</p>
<p>Excellent tour provided by get holiday with detailed information provided by a friendly and customer focused guide. Being in a small group you received personal attention and confortable travel in a minibus. Would highly recommend this tour.<br/> Gerard and Wilhelmina. N Ireland.</p>
With Basso we had an excellent Guide. The van was wonderfully comfortable. Beautiful places seen with the story and an excellent lunch in a local restaurant, 1 that you normally never find. Thanks Basso for the beautiful day!
Very good tour. We toured spectacular places. The Guide explained everything very well. It was an excellent experience. Highly recommended
Tour to discover the Teide National Park, Masca, Garachico, and Icod de los vinos very nice. Guide was very nice and very competent landscapes breathtaking.Agency top super recommended!
Unique experience and absolutely recommended to those of us who have never been to Tenerife and want to know the island up close. Low, helpful and very nice, attentive and punctual accompanied us around Tenerife making us discover unique places and explaining with great professionalism, passion and precision the history, customs and traditions of all the places visited. We will rely on his expertise and professionalism even when we return to visit other islands!
Volcanic nature It was fantastic to know the places where the lava passed and to be able to admire nature the bad thing was the weather that made it not possible to see well the volcano
Our family trip could not have had a better start in Tenerife than with our guide Basso. His friendliness, professionalism and knowledge about geology (especially that of Teide) and Canarian culture are admirable. Everything was great, even made interesting recommendations for future days. Definitely highly recommended. If you bet on quality tourism (and not mass tourism, etc), I encourage you to try this wonderful option.
An exceptional experience, Basso told us throughout the tour an infinite number of anecdotes and explained every little detail of the place where we were I am overjoyed to have reached 3715 for the first time with an experienced guide like him!!
Beautiful experience, the visit to the teide with Basso was fun and exciting He gave us a lot of information and we admired the whole island from its highest peak!!
Beautiful experience. The guide was able to explain everything in detail and gave us many tips. Absolutely a MUST!!!
Unforgettable day, a unique experience with a professional and prepared guide, thanks to him I will have a lot to tell. Thanks again from the heart
Low, our guide, very competent available with suggestions of all kinds. Minivan with 6 seats and a car in tow with 5 other people also from our company. Explanations along the way about vegetation, microclimates and answers to all our questions. We were all satisfied
The visit was very interesting, the guide explained everything exhaustively, it is an experience that I recommend!
Great experience with Basso around Tenerife, we were 4 friends and at the end of the day we became 5! He gave us a super tour considering our requests, leaving us moments to take pictures or simply admire the magnificent landscapes, made us try the experience of a lunch inside a guachinche and made us fall in love with everything around us. A very skilled driver, a perfect tour guide, an excellent company at the table and throughout the journey. 100 stars out of 5!
Visit to Teide, super recommended! It was great to be able to visit places that alone are difficult to reach and with a great company and guide who explains everything you are visiting!
Fantastic experience meeting Tenerife with Get Holiday, with Basso at the helm😜. Good treatment, maximum knowledge of the island, professional, and especially very committed to his work. Without a doubt, to know the Canary Islands, I will always be clear, I will recommend Get Holiday, a different and original way to enjoy and know the Canaries.
Very nice experience; nice guide, always available and organized well. I recommend it to everyone
Fantastic hike! Basso is an extraordinary guide, kind, professional and above all very prepared. Any question we had could answer us, from history and culture to nature! Absolutely recommended! With him we discovered typical and characteristic places, especially for traditional eating!
Fun and exciting excursion.. amazing views, with a highly qualified Guide Service. I recommend it for anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable and different day
Recommended by relatives for the professionalism and above all friendliness of the guida.Basso is an excellent narrator of the island on all fronts, morphological but also food and wine! We toured the island with particular inspection on Teide (beautiful!!!) and a surprising lunch at a Guachinche (farm) very characteristic! The trip continued touching several towns:Garachico, Orotava, BuenaVista del Nte, Icod de l'osso Vinos told with so much passion.Compliments and thanks again Low x the wonderful day!!!
Everything perfect: from the booking with the kindness and professionalism of Roberta to the back office who advised us very well in choosing the excursion suitable for our needs, to the Welcoming received by Basso , the super guide, who accompanied us all day discovering wonderful views and walks. Low thanks for your enthusiasm and for your professionalism and sympathy!!! You gave us an unforgettable trip. They are the best and most honest on the island of Tenerife ever we could not choose better!!!!!VIVA GETHOLIDAY!!!!!
The experience with Basso was very good and Basso helped others a lot had studied a very guided and very good tour.
I did this tour with Basso. We visited Teide Park, Masca, Garachico and the beach in Los Gigantes. The guide was very friendly, knew every detail (history, nature) and gave many explanations. We made many stops to take pictures. I recommend this tour.
A fantastic experience! Discovering the beautiful sweet and warm Tenerife!.. The people exquisitely friendly and helpful.... Tenerife, will remain in our hearts c 'and the desire to see it again, visit it step by step in its history, the culture told by Basso was excellent! A thank you is little to such beauty...
It is the second time we come to Tenerife and again we called Basso to arrange a private tour to show us other views and places new to us of this wonderful island. As usual Basso did not disappoint us indeed showed us some even more incredible places than last time making us discover other landscape aspects of this wonderful island. What can I say: for those who come to Tenerife again I recommend to turn to him for professionalism, punctuality and great experience!!!
It was our first experience in Tenerife and it was magnificent. We relied on the Get Holiday for the organization of our entire holiday and everything was perfect! Exceptional choice of hotel and travel. The full-day hike we did to Teide was then the experience that made us love Tenerife and want to go back again. We saw truly special, fascinating and surprising places in the company of an exquisite person the great Bass who with his knowledge and passion has involved us and kidnapped us with so many stories. It 'was a beautiful day with a guide who with his professionalism and friendliness has been able to make the whole trip even more pleasant and light. Special thanks from us to Basso and Roberta for giving us the opportunity to have such a beautiful experience and for making us leave with the certainty that we will return if only to do the other excursions that we miss to get to know such a beautiful place as Tenerife.
Geology as Earth sciences is at the core of our daily diet. Discovering the processes of soil formation and where plants grow and life develops can promote knowledge about food quality and health.
An amazing experience. He made the tour to suit everything we asked for and gave us extra. It was a lot of fun from start to finish. He took us on incredible routes, over time we managed to do wonders thanks to his excellent handling. We went from Santa Cruz to Teide, through Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, Los Roques Garcia among millions of other places like the Giants, Masca, in short, introduced us almost the entire island in one day and we were the happiest. I highly recommend spending a whole day with Basso or if you can, the days you want, a day on each island, IT IS THE MOST TO GO OUT WITH BASSO!!!! A person with values, responsible, respectful, helpful, could continue to speak wonders of him. With Get Holidas it is not a tour where you only take pictures, you really live the experience in every place you go. I highly recommend it!
I contacted Get Holiday for an organized excursion to the island of Tenerife, I discovered a serious, prepared (and even nice) professional who made me discover unknown corners despite it being my Third party trip to the island. Too bad about the "horizontal rain ", everything else was great! thanks Low Lanzone! I will be happy to contact you for my next trip in July!
Very professional and prepared tour guide. Reliable and precise in the exposure and presentation of the places and beauties visited thanks to his knowledge of the places visited.
Ability, professionalism, competence and fun. These are the words to describe Basso and his tours in Tenerife. Tenerife is definitely an island to discover and tour, because it offers many beautiful landscapes and many hidden corners, and the best way to do it is together with Basso, which with its excursions throughout the island allows you to discover it at 360 degrees and see places that otherwise you would not have been able to see! All this with professionalism, competence but also fun
