    10/10 My friend used Tenerife first excursions and they were so efficient, giving the best advice on what to do for whatever we booked. We booked a few things through, she used WhatsApp and Daniel was so quick to reply to any queries she had. we decided last minute to go Siam Park and he got us VIP tickets for the next day when Siam website didn’t have tickets available for 8 days. We wanted to book a boat and it was booked within minutes through them. Anything we wanted to do we booked through them. They made the whole process so simple and easy, highly recommend!

    What can I say I contacted this company last minute after watching a few of their YouTube videos. At short notice kim was able to arrange a whole 3 day jam packed with excursions for us! I would highly recommend this excursion company over any other due to the level of customer service I received from late night messages to arranging scooter hire within 10mins of me messaging! Will most certainly be using you again please keep up the good work!
