As with other reviewers, we had the misfortune to have a certain guide. He is an affable chap but totally incompetent as a tour guide. He appears unable to impart even the simplest of information abo… Full review by 925donaldt

We bought tickets online, the day before we went. (You do need to book in advance - When we were there, someone just turned up in a car, but was not allowed to join the tour, presumably because they had not booked in advance.) We made our own way there in a hire car. I recall that a brochure about the Observatory said that they do pick-ups on certain days, but I think that was only from the main tourist centres ... In fact, I've just looked up the website that I think we booked from, but TripAdvisor says "questions may not include HTML or website links. Please edit your answer" so I can't send you the website link. But that tells you about pick-ups. (As I said, this seems to be from main tourist centres - Costa Ajede/Los Cristianos and Puerto de la Cruz.) I suggest googling "guided visit of the Teide observatory".
