VIP Tour Around Anaga and La Laguna
Minivan of eight, 8 hours · from Puerto de la Cruz
Eight hours, eight seats, lunch in the price and a guide who scores 4.9 — this is the north coast’s answer to the southern coach day. €84 is the most we have reviewed for a road tour, and ★4.5 from 158 is a modest sample, so the sub-scores matter: the guide and the vehicle rate far higher than the value.

The detail behind the verdict
Two things about this day are not in the description. The first is that it ends at a bodega with a wine tasting — guests mention it constantly and the listing never does, which is a pleasant surprise if you like wine and a lost hour if you do not. The second follows from it: the part of the day people say they want more of is the laurel forest, and the part they would trade away is the bodega.
Anaga is the oldest thing on this island — a massif worn into ridges and ravines, with a laurisilva forest that is a relic of what covered southern Europe before the ice ages — and an hour in it is not the same as a morning. Go in knowing the day is a circuit of the north rather than a forest walk: La Laguna’s UNESCO grid, the ridge road, the viewpoints over the cloud, lunch, the forest, the bodega. The other thing worth doing before you travel is confirming your pickup.
The listing offers a hotel pickup or a nearby meeting point in Puerto de la Cruz, the small print names an 08:45 start at the operator’s office on Calle Aceviño, and more than one guest has walked to the office only to learn afterwards that a pickup was available. A message to the operator after booking settles it.
Questions about this tour
Is the Anaga and La Laguna VIP tour worth it?
If you are staying on the north coast, it is the most complete day available to you: eight hours, eight seats, lunch included, and a guide rated 4.9. At €84 it is also the priciest road tour we review, and guests rate the value lower than everything else about it.
Where does it start?
Puerto de la Cruz — either a pickup at your hotel or the operator’s office at Calle Aceviño 12 at 08:45. Which of the two you get is worth confirming with the operator after booking, because guests have reported walking to the office unnecessarily.
Is lunch included?
Yes, with a choice of fish or meat, and that is unusual at this length. Opinions on the food in the feedback are split — some call it very good, others call it plain — so treat it as a meal that is handled rather than a meal you chose.
Does the tour include a wine tasting?
It ends at a bodega with a tasting, although the published description does not say so. Guests mention it regularly. If wine is not your reason for coming, that is the hour you would most want back.
How long do you get in the laurel forest?
Less than most people expect — the recurring note in the feedback is that the forest stop is short, one guest putting it at about twenty-five minutes. This is a circuit of the north rather than a walking day in Anaga.
What is the laurel forest?
Laurisilva: a subtropical cloud forest that is a living relic of what covered southern Europe before the ice ages. Anaga holds one of the best-preserved stands of it anywhere, which is why the massif is a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
The operator marks it as wheelchair accessible, which is rare for a mountain tour of this length. The viewpoints are roadside; the forest path is where to ask specific questions before booking.
How big is the group?
Eight at most, in a minivan. That is the difference you are paying for against a coach day, and it is reflected in the 4.8 the transport scores.
What should I bring?
A jacket above everything. Anaga sits under the trade-wind cloud and is cooler and wetter than the coast on the same day, whatever the forecast at your hotel says. Also comfortable shoes, a hat and sunscreen for the La Laguna half.
Can I cancel?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, per the listing checked on 14 September 2026. Reserve-now-pay-later is offered as well.
