    Great service from Lisa. Booked two trips today with Lisa Fay, and what a great service she offered. Nothing was too much for her. I booked a private charter for the family and monkey park all done within 10 minutes. She even waited while the boss signed off on them ( the wife). Would highly recommend Lisa and the company for any excursions. Five Star service

    100% would I recommend booking excursions with Tenerife First! Me and my boyfriend booked the all inclusive Siam Park tickets which was well worth the price!! We got our lockers, towels, unlimited fast pass for the slides which means we didn’t have to wait in the long queues, all inclusive food and drinks along with the park entrance which would have cost us way more if we paid on the day!! We also booked the Sunset Quad Tour which was an unreal experience!! Our guides Davide and Danny where brilliant couldn’t recommend them enough they was really welcoming and happy to help with any questions we had. Along with providing information about Mount Teide which was nice touch! The drinks whilst watching the sunset were a really nice addition ! Again, I would recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife and wanting to do some amazing excursions ! I will also be recommending to family and friends. A big thank you to Matt for your TikTok videos which helped us come across Tenerife First Excursions so we were able to do these unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet you whilst shopping and have a chat during our visit in Tenerife!! 📸☀️

    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 ❤️

    Amazing, 100% recommended I can't praise Daniel and his team of professionals both in the office and at sea. We too a trio with a crazy Irish man on his yacht. Food and drink provided. Most important thing was the respect this man had for the dolphin, whales and turtle we say. It was the most amazing thing ever to see these majestic animals in their own environment absolutely amazing. I was like a child. Couldn't recommend these absolutely professionals. 100%.
