点评:Feel Tenerife…we felt Tenerife as well as tapped into all our other senses on this remarkable 2-day tour. The tour was pleasing to our sense of smell with the aromas of the nature around us, the food prepared for us, the wine we tasted and the markets we shopped. Our sense of taste was delighted with the amazing food and wine that we were able to sample during our visits. Our sense of sight was rewarded with the beautiful scenery in every direction we looked and postcard worthy photos at every turn. Our sense of hearing was accomplished with the sounds of nature and eagles flying over our heads. Our sense of touch was felt in the rocks we handled, the hugs we received, the handshakes from friends along the way, but we felt Tenerife fully with the feelings of friendships we made along our travels with Jamie. We felt the love Jamie has for his island and for the clients he leads on his tours. You can tell this is not a job for Jamie as much as it is a passion.
We were greeted on our first day in an immaculately clean, quiet comfortable vehicle. It was stocked with water and additional jackets that were supplied if needed.
We quickly knew Jamie loved feeding our taste for knowledge about Tenerife. He is extremely knowledgeable about the culture and life on the island since he has lived there his whole life, and has a degree in tourism as well. There wasn’t a question we asked that he didn’t have the answers to. Conversation with Jamie was effortless from the moment we met. He was knowledgeable about the wine we tasted at the Bodega La Haya winery as well. Vicky, a very friendly, special lady was our guide at the winery and she prepared a wonderful wine tasting and tapas to go along with the 3 different wines we tasted. We felt like we were sitting down to drink wine with our family at the dinner table. The food was perfectly delicious and consisted of local specialties that were unlike any we had eaten at the restaurants we had visited.
Jamie knew all the local places to visit and that is what we prefer. We like to hit a few of the more touristy areas, but love local out of the way places mixed in. Along with the winery we also visited an amazing local restaurant where they served a lunch fit for royalty, a café where we sampled a local barraquito coffee, AMAZING! We also visited Mount Tiede, the Drago de Icod de los Vinos, a live Dragon Tree that is believed to be close to a thousand years old, farmers markets, churches and monasteries where Jamie pointed out little hidden treasures along the way.
I would not hesitate to book another tour with Jamie the next time we are in Tenerife as there is so much left to discover about this beautiful island. Thank you for the best, most informative and satisfying tour Tim and I have ever been a part of. We truly Felt Tenerife!!

第一天,我们乘坐一辆干净、安静、舒适的汽车受到了欢迎。车上备有饮用水和额外的夹克,如有需要,随时提供。
我们很快发现,杰米喜欢满足我们对特内里费岛的了解。他对岛上的文化和生活了如指掌,因为他一生都住在那里,还拥有旅游学位。我们提出的问题他都能回答。从我们见面的那一刻起,与杰米的交谈就变得轻松自如。他对我们在 Bodega La Haya 酒庄品尝的葡萄酒也了如指掌。Vicky 是一位非常友好、特别的女士,她是我们在酒庄的导游,她准备了一场精彩的品酒会和小吃,以搭配我们品尝的 3 种不同的葡萄酒。我们感觉就像坐在餐桌旁和家人一起喝酒一样。食物非常美味,包括当地特色菜,与我们在去过的餐馆吃到的都不一样。
杰米知道所有值得参观的当地景点,这正是我们喜欢的。我们喜欢去一些游客较多的地区,但也喜欢混杂在当地偏僻的地方。除了参观酒庄,我们还参观了一家很棒的当地餐厅,他们提供皇家午餐,我们在一家咖啡馆品尝了当地的巴拉基托咖啡,太棒了!我们还参观了蒂德山、伊科德·德洛斯·维诺斯 (Drago de Icod de los Vinos)、一棵据说有近千年历史的龙血树、农贸市场、教堂和修道院,杰米沿途向我们指出了一些隐藏的小宝藏。
下次我们去特内里费岛时,我会毫不犹豫地和杰米预订另一趟旅行,因为这个美丽的岛屿还有太多值得探索的地方。感谢你们为我和蒂姆提供的最好、最有信息量和最令人满意的旅行。我们真的感受到了特内里费岛的魅力!!
