This tour invites us to visit two of Tenerife's landmarks. The first is Icod de los Vinos. The second is the old port of Garachico. Icod is home to the amazing thousand year old Dragon Tree, alongside San Marcos, one of Tenerife's most beautiful churches, rich in Gothic and Flemish art. Garachico is everyone's favourite, a delightful old town where time appears to have stopped many years ago. This means it retains a blend of simple Canary Island charm and old-time nobility. Narrow cobbled streets lead in and out to inviting cafes and restaurants at the very edge of the island's fiercest seas. Garachico was the home of some of the richest 16th century merchants like the Genoese Ponte dynasty which made fortunes exporting Malmsey wine to England. Indeed, until most of the town was destroyed by a great volcanic eruption in 1706, this was Tenerife's port. If we have time, we might like a dip in one of the rock pools and if requested we will enjoy a tapas lunch at a traditional Canary Island inn.
9am (or other requested time) - I will collect you from your hotel, or meeting point in the port if you are on a cruise ship. 10am - Stop to stretch our legs at the San Vicente viewing point and cafe for views and explanation. 10. 45am . Arrive at Icod de los Vinos to visit the ancient dragon tree and the old San Marcos square. If requested you might like tp sample a wine or two at the Malmsey Wine Museum. 12. 00 - Head for Garachico for a stroll and exploratory tour through the old town. If requested you might like to enjoy some local cousine with a tapas lunch. 3pm - Arrive back at your hotel or at our meeting point in the port.

Our mode of transport is a modern, comfortable 5-seater, air conditioned vehicle. Please bear in mind that if you require a vehicle with more space, or if there are more passengers, I usually hire a larger vehicle. NOTE: It is best to ask me before booking a tour if there is availability for a larger vehicle. This may also mean an increased fee because the island is having record numbers of visitors, and rental cars are difficult to come by at a reasonable price just now .
