    Agradable experiencia. Buena experiencia. Tres horas de buen rollo y rato muy agradable. Gui agrada durante la ruta y explica muchas cosas, la mayoría interesantes. El único pero, vimos pocos animales y ,aunque la idea de nuestro guía fue que no era lo principal de la excursión, nos apetecía un montón. Lo mejor, al ser un barco pequeño, que solo podíamos ir cinco personas y fue una ruta que se convirtió en privada y fue un verdadero gustazo.

    Fiat 500 Boats and Monkey Park We visited a couple of days ago and was greeted by Lorena who was excellent at finding the best trips. She also gave her number to us incase we needed to contact her regarding any of our excursions, we also got 20% voucher for chillbox and 10% voucher for Banging Burgers since we booked with these guys. We had booked the Fiat 500 Boat ride - 1 hour and it truly a experience that we will not be forgetting any time soon the staff down at the docks where very friendly and talked us all through the steps of how the boat worked and kept in contact if we went out of range. We also paid the extra 20 euros for the professional photos that they took of us We also purchased tickets for the monkey park which is a great affordable trip we got a taxi to the monkey park as we wasn’t staying anywhere near it and the park it’s self was just amazing so many different animals not just monkeys and so many great pictures was taken got straight through to entrance instead of queuing as we had purchased the ticket from Tenerife First Excursions Such a great couple of days of excursions will definitely be back to book more trips in the future.

    Great Company Nothing is too much trouble for Daniel and his team, fantastic range of tours and activities and I'm sure if you made one up they would find a way for you. We took a helicopter flight on this trip, the booking process was so simple. The flight itself was amazing and would definitely recommend. Make these guys your first stop off the plane to max out your holiday.
