Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car reviews and ratings
Why 4.3? The sub-ratings put the gap on value (4.1): €92 is €50 more than the €42 cable car ticket on its own. The four latest reviews we read are all 5 stars, so they don’t spell out the complaints — the field notes below cover what can go wrong on the day.

Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car FAQ
Short, direct answers. Every answer stays open — collapse them if you like.
Is the Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car worth it?
Yes, if riding the cable car is the point and you don’t want to drive. €92 includes pickup, a guide and the return ticket, which costs €42 on its own. If you’d rather see more places, the Teide, Masca, Icod & Garachico Tour is €58 and rated 4.6.
Is the cable car ticket included?
Yes. The return ride is included: about 8 minutes from the base station at 2,356 m to the upper station at 3,555 m.
Does the tour go to the summit of Teide?
No. The cable car stops at 3,555 m; the trail to the 3,715 m summit needs a Tenerife ON permit (€15 for a non-resident adult), which the tour doesn’t include.
Where does the tour pick up?
From 56 points in five options: Costa Adeje, Las Américas and Los Cristianos; Los Gigantes and Puerto Santiago; El Médano and Golf del Sur; Puerto de la Cruz; and Santa Cruz and Candelaria. Some options run only on set weekdays.
Why is it rated 4.3 and not higher?
Value pulls it down: guide and transport score 4.5, value 4.1. The price is €50 above the cable car ticket alone, and the day centres on one place.
What happens if the cable car closes for wind?
It can happen with little notice, most often December–February. The tour page shows a “Partial refund offered” badge, so check the refund conditions on the booking page before you pay.
Can children go on the tour?
From age 3. The page excludes children under 3; on the cable car itself, children 3–13 pay €21 for a return.
Can I do it cheaper on my own?
Yes, with a car: the cable car return is €42 and Costa Adeje is about 58 minutes’ drive from the base station. By TITSA bus there is one morning bus up and one afternoon bus back (lines 342 from the south, 348 from the north). Teide cable car guide
