    Very efficient (Booked day trip to La Palma) We booked a day trip to La Palma through Tenerife First Excursions. Lisa at the booking office could not have been more helpful. She rang the company that actually runs the trip, because, although the volcano had stopped, she advised that it was always best to check the latest details. There isn´t a pick-up service for this excursion so she gave us the number of the local taxi firm and full details of where to go. Would book through them again

    Amazing Service and experiences ! I Wouldn’t book with anyone else in Tenerife.We spoke to the lovely Lisa Fay who was friendly and professional throughout. Lisa was attentive with what we wanted to do and found the best excursions to suit us and our needs with amazing deals which you can’t find anywhere else on the island. I couldn’t recommend this company enough, so helpful and provide you with lots of information about each trip. 100% the highlight of the holiday, we will definitely be using them again without a doubt😊!

    Returning customer! A massive thank you to Lindsay who helped book our excursion on the boat. I’ve booked twice within the last month. Once with my beautiful partner and again with close family. Both trips were seamless and a fantastic experience for everyone. The coach was a perfect addition for my mother as it was door to door. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It’s a great day out with sun, sea, sangria and ocean waves. Thanks again Lindsay! M Sammon

    Fiat 500 self drive boat Hands down best part of our holiday. We had so much fun. Staff were very informative & the excursion company were very responsive when we checked to see we were in the right place etc. well worth the money and would defiantly do this trip again. I was worried being a larger gal that the boat would feel a bit unsteady but not at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Tenerife.
