Guided ride or on your own? How to choose when cycling in Tenerife
If you come to Tenerife to ride, sooner or later you will ask yourself: do I ride with a guide or plan it myself? Both options make sense. Here is what each one offers so you can choose based on your trip.
What a guided ride includes
- Pick-up from your hotel in the morning and transfer to the start.
- A guide who knows every road and adapts the route to the weather and the group.
- Water or an isotonic drink and an energy bar or gel.
- Back at the shop in the early afternoon.
Why ride with a guide
- You don't have to prepare anything: no routes, no GPS, no transfers.
- You reach roads you wouldn't find alone, like Masca or Mount Teide from the south.
- You ride in company, with someone who knows the tricky parts of every descent.
- If you travel solo, you meet other cyclists.
Why ride on your own
- You choose the time, pace and stops.
- You can repeat your favourite climbs or do intervals.
- You can download the GPX for every route on our website.
Best of all: combine them
Many of our customers do their first rides with a guide to get to know the roads, then ride on their own with the GPX files for the last days. That way you get the most out of your week.
