    Couldn’t recommend this group enough. I booked all my excursions with them as a package with a discount rate originally just questioning prices via Instagram. Dan from the group then sent me all his contact details and invoices instantly. We done Buggy’s, Siam, the yacht & night skies for a very good price. Dan in particular was very helpful. Always reachable via text message on WhatsApp at anytime of the day and very professional..Thanks to all the team even Evelyn on the yacht. Free drink’s sandwiches etc.Trish & Wes Dublin IrelandHard rock hotel Tenerife22/09/23 to 2/09/23

    Great Excursion We booked our excursion through Lindsay at San Andreas. She was very helpful and informative on the different trips available to what we were looking for. We booked 2 trips: Night Sian and Coach trip to Mount Teide. Both were very good. The mount Teide trip was an all round visit to Mount Teide and then to the North of the island. We visited serval places with stops no longer than 45 mins. If you would like to see more of the Island I would recommend this trip.

    Family holiday made magical from start to finish! Beginning with the customer service from the lovely Laura at Tenerife First. With 2 young children she couldn’t have been more helpful with suitable trips for us to take as a family! We opted for Loro Parque and Siam Park twin tickets and were also provided with transfers to Loro Parque. Both days out were enjoyed by the whole family and the transfers to/from the parks were comfortable and punctual. I will be sure to recommend this company and these excursions to friends and family!
