    Nous avons réservé deux excursions avec eux et nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Je vous les recommande car niveau rapport qualité prix ils sont au top, ils ne vous vendent pas du rêve comme beaucoup d’autres bureaux d’excursions sur l’île. Merci à Christian pour les tuyaux et à Mattie pour son accueil au bureau ! See you next year 😎

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.
