    Amazing Experience All I can say is DO IT!!! such a wonderful experience and Lee and Emily were just the best, couldn't fault them. Got collected from our hotel and taken to where we needed to pick everything up, got jackets and helmets. Lee talked you through everything and from start to finish they were both so helpful, kind and informative. Little breaks along the way up for biscuits and a little history lesson. Then the sunset was breath taking. 100% buy the pictures such amazing memories to keep. We are doing this again for sure. All I will say is there are soooo many companies but trust me go with these guys.

    Freedom in the sea Abbiamo affittato una barca self drive (senza aver bisogno di patente) con Patricia ed è stata una esperienza fantastica!! La barca è nuova e comoda, siamo stati prima a largo a rilassarci con buona musica e qualche drink e poi ci siamo spostati a la caleta dove abbiamo messo ancora e ci siamo fatti il bagno. Un’esperienza unica sicuramente da provare , grazie Patricia!!!

    Breathtaking views and overall brilliant experience! The sunset quad tour was by far our favourite thing we did when we were in Tenerife, we booked a double quad - my partner drove and I was the passenger. My partner thoughroughly enjoyed his experience driving the quad and would recommend to other drivers! We decided to do this on our last night in Tenerife and the views throughout blew us away - it was the perfect way to end our holiday!The views are breathtaking and the sunset was beautiful. The guys who run the quad tour are fantastic, they are friendly, funny and all round decent guys! They only add to the experience and make you feel very comfortable. We loved the information they shared with us about mount teide and it's history and the photos that were taken were phenomenal and at only 20 euros for the entire lot how can you complain? Such a bargain! We have already recommended this tour to our family member who is visiting Tenerife in the coming weeks and they cannot wait to book this with them!You also get water and snacks included - I must say the biscuits are very good and when you watch the sunset go down you get complimentary alcohol free champagne , it was such a nice touch!The company also collects you from your hotel or nearby your hotel and drop you off afterwards, it's an all-round very good service and they make you feel safe and secure! I'd also like to say thank you to Lisa at Tenerife First Excursions for sorting this short notice for us! She was very helpful, friendly and kind when we booked with her! Overall, this is a great company to book with and we can't wait to return and try some other excursions.

    Fantastic friendly and informative service We came across Matty and Ross at the booking kiosk on our first day, they were full of information on places we could visit during our holiday.Pointing us in the right direction of which water park to visit for the ages of our children, we opted for 2 park ticket for Aqualand & Jungle Park.We Also went on Peter Pan Whale watching tour, we were originally thinking to do this in the afternoon but Ross said you were most Likey to see whales on the earlier tour so we took his advice and went at 10am….so glad we did! What an amazing experience! Thanks lads for your help…we will book again soon!
