The interactive guide that unlocks real Tenerife experience
For travelers who rent a car, follow their instincts, and want to truly feel a place.
For those looking for more than just pretty pictures: to really get to know the island
Mass tourism slowly erases who we really are.
7 million people visit the island every year, and most just follow what blogs or viral videos recommend…
but what they experience has nothing to do with the real Tenerife.
Want to stop being just another tourist?
Curious to go deeper?
In this 1:30 min video, you’ll see the alternative I’m offering. TAP PLAY!
Thanks to my clients, I know that a different type of tourism is possible
Over 50 happy travelers have found a new way to explore the Canary Islands.

Si lo que te gusta es que te reciba un local en tu destino, y no tienes a nadie alli, Raquel es lo mismo pero mejor Monz Fiorentini8 Febrero 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Had an amazing partnership with Raquel to build my Canary Islands winter getaway - part holidays/part workation. She was super helpful in choosing the order in which I traveled to the various islands, attentive to my carless adventure, remote work needs, activity preferences, and confirming my accommodation locations were feasible for my travel requirements. She provided informative and useful tips in the guides including links to the bus stops/schedules and maps. I relied on the itineraries quite a bit throughout my journey including her restaurant recommendations! Raquel and her tailored island tips made my journey much easier, saved me time, and provided a well-rounded adventure for me! Can't wait to partner with her again!

Lau9 Diciembre 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Lo mejor que he hecho para conocer las Islas Canarias. Cuando me decidí venir a recorrer el archipiélago en furgoneta junto a mi perrito, yo ya tenía un poco mi ruta organizada. Pero no solo quería ver, quería conocer Canarias, es ahí donde Raquel me ha ayudado con todo! Me ha realizó un plan súper personalizado y adaptado a mi tipo de viaje. Hemos indagado en cultura local y tradiciones, en pueblitos... lo que nos ha llevado a entablar pequeñas amistades con los lugareños, probamos auténtica gastronomía canaria,... También realizamos diferentes actividades como buceo, senderismo, museos, yacimientos arqueológicos, cuevas, charcos... Todo con sus recomendaciones! Es de considerar su atención personal durante el viaje, cualquier cosa que nos surge ahí tenemos a Yourlocalplanner para ayudarnos 😍 La guía personalizada sobre la isla me encantó, totalmente personalizada y práctica, se nota que está hecha con cariño. Raquel es un encanto de chica, apasionada de su trabajo y siempre predispuesta ayudarte durante el viaje. Desde el primer contacto a través de videollamada dónde ella se interesó sobre que tipo de viaje íbamos a hacer para asesorarnos lo mejor posible ☺️ Si vais a viajar a las islas y queréis conocerlas BIEN! No dudéis en contactar con ella, es la mejor manera de hacerlo de una manera personalizada, local y sostenible. 🐶💛 🚐 Eladio Garcia23 Noviembre 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Buen conocimiento de la isla ,muy buena en ayuda de gestión, y siempre dispuesta a atendernos,incluso fuera de lo normal, Álvaro Llorens23 Septiembre 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Quería irme de voluntariado a Canarias pero no tenía ni idea de por donde empezar a buscar ni a qué isla ir. Con una asesoría de una hora Raquel me ayudó muchísimo a tenerlo claro, a empezar con el plan y sobre todo a darme el ultimo empujón que necesitaba. Incluso me puso en contacto con gente que fueron clave para que esta experiencia haya sido increible! Gracias por todo Dacil Afonso13 Agosto 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Le pedí a Raquel que realizara una guía para mi pareja que le gusta mucho la historia de Canarias. La guía era para 5 días y en Gran Canaria. He vuelto a redescubrir Gran Canaria gracias a Raquel. Lugares escondidos, sorprendentes, bonitos, acogedores,... la guía lo tiene todo. Sin duda la recomendaría para visitar de la mejor manera las Islas Canarias. Gracias Raquel. Ángel Pizarro4 Agosto 2024Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. 3º año consecutivo que viajamos a una isla canaria con la guía personalizada que nos hizo Raquel de your local planner, esta vez a la palma. Increíble el trabajazo que hizo. Nos la leímos entera antes de ir y aprendimos muchísimos sobre la isla, su historia, naturaleza y todo lo que lo rodea. Durante los días viajando, era como si viajase con nosotros, siempre deciamos "que dice raquel de este pueblo". Te cambia totalmente el viaje, 100% recomendable. B.

The guide follows a pre-designed format with general recommendations, but it includes everything you need to build your ideal itinerary. If you’d prefer a fully customised plan for any island, I can create one for you — just give me 2–3 weeks’ notice.
This is for travellers who enjoy going at their own pace. That said, you’ll also find suggestions for guided tours with official, trusted local guides if you prefer.
Yes. You’ll find options for all ages and preferences, with clearly marked difficulty levels. Whether you’re travelling with kids, older adults, or seeking adventure — there’s something for you.
It’s mainly designed for those exploring by car. However, many places are accessible by public transport too. If you’re travelling by bus, I recommend requesting a personalised plan.
This isn’t a package tour with fixed schedules. It’s a flexible guide: you choose the activities and book them directly through the company’s website or phone. I only recommend things I’d do myself. I don’t earn commissions from most, but where I do, it’s clearly stated — and I’ll share discount codes with you.

My core values:

Quality first
I don’t sell out my clients for commissions. My priority is always your best possible experience.

Protecting the island
1) Valuing and respecting our heritage 2) Supporting local businesses 3) Promoting environmental awareness

Always improving
I listen to travellers and constantly update the guides with new tips and useful ideas.
Travelling is about give and take
It’s not just about visiting beautiful places, but appreciating, understanding, and truly connecting with each one.
