    Lovely friendly service from Daniel Ewing. Went on the 1/2 day tour to Mt Teide. Very enjoyable. Tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable delivered plenty of information in 3 languages. Plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, have a coffee etc. We didn't get to experience the cable car due to winds despite the fact that it was a lovely clear day. However, we were prepared for this possibility by both the travel office and the tour guide. Best of luck to the Rossi man in his new business venture. We hope it works out well for you.

    Fantastic After watching Daniel on YouTube we decided that we would book through Tenerife First Excursions and the service and communication was excellent. The tour itself was amazing and the guys really looked after us and were extremely knowledgable about the stars and planets. The photos are included on this trip and there were plenty of wow moments. This is a fantastic trip and we will definitely look at booking another trip through Tenerife First Excursions next time we visit Tenerife.
