    Fantastic excursions from a reliable company! Being our first and maybe only family holiday, we wanted to pack a few excursions in. Sarah from First Tenerife was more than helpful in organising our trip. From Teide to parasailing Sarah organised everything and delivered our tickets and info etc to our hotel on the day of our arrival. In total we did snorkelling, parasailing, Siam and loro parque and a Teide tour with cable car. We were offered a discount from standard prices for bulk booking which was nice. Unfortunately on the day of the teide tour the cable car wasn’t running due to high winds but we were promptly refunded. Overall the relevant activities seemed to be staffed by competent, professional and friendly people. We would not hesitate to use these guys again if we ever return to Tenerife. Thanks for everything

    Brilliant service and great prices We heard about this place through TikTok and wanted to check it out, needless to say it is definitely worth the good reviews. Coming as a couple abroad for the first time, Kim was amazing at talking us through the activities we wanted to book and she was so detailed throughout the service. Such a wonderful lady, will be returning in the future! Thank you Kim ❤️
