1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There were a number of really unique experiences that made the holiday so enjoyable. These reflected the care and effort that Sara went to make the varied days so full of learning and fun. The structure of learning Spanish vocabulary appropriate to the day ahead (whether an artisan market experience, appreciating the landscape of an adventure walk or simply preparing to use the buses) was a great balance. We got to see and experience a great deal of the real Tenerife, even down to collecting and cooking the iconic canarian potatoes. We were also incredibly fortunate to experience an add-on to the trip in the form of a stargazing walk with Sara’s partner who happens to have a PhD in astrophysics! 2km up El Teide volcano well beyond the clouds in Teide National Park, where the sky is beautifully clear with no light pollution, we were able to experience the night sky like never before and just happen to be there at the peak of the Orionid meteor shower, seeing five shooting stars – an incredible and unforgettable experience.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Really think through what you want out of the experience and take advantage of a personal video call with Sara to refine your plan. Any observations we have on improving the experience are really down to us – in particular, not trying to cram too much into a short period of time, which is demanding for everyone.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Everything was geared around an authentic local experience. So, supporting local shops, learning to use local buses and eating in local restaurants was an important part of the itinerary. Sara provided great insight into the culture and respect for the heritage which helped us appreciate and enjoy the real Tenerife. Being introduced to and educated in sustainable local produce like the goats cheese, canarian potato varieties and Teide honey was part of the culinary joy of the trip. [Of course a single flight to Tenerife dwarfs any carbon footprint incurred during the visit and that’s always a moral dilemma to navigate for a holiday far from home.]4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was a wonderful experience and something we would do again. The bespoke nature of the visit was an experiment for both us and for Sara so, inevitably, there were some things we would do a little differently next time – like shorter, more focused days. That said, we might not have got to see and enjoy all the great things that we did by having five full-on days. Importantly, it was both a fabulous personalised learning experience and enjoyable holiday so something to be recommended.Holiday Reviews
