I changed plans last minute for the return transfer and she quickly worked to change the transfer.Cant ask for any better service. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Can't rate Tenerife First Excursions highly enough.

    Nice, relaxing boat trip Tour was great! Saw dolphins, a sea turtle, and some pilot whales. Also the area for snorkeling was quite nice, not too much to see but still some nice groups of fish.
