    Amazon and well-organised tour to Teide National Park We had a great Day in Teide National Park. This is a very impressing and unique area - the volcanos were amazing. The Team also booked whale watching and a car for two days, for us. The agency is very well organised, family-friendly and absolutely focused on clients needs - they made sure that we had Tour with a German-speaking Tour guide and that we got the right booster seats in the car -this was important for our kids. Excellent Service. Thank you very much, Team.

    A must do excursion Very enjoyable experience. The boat was spacious with only 15 passengers and everything was well managed. There was plenty to drink and the food was better than the usual snacks offered. We saw lots of pilot whales and had a great swim in the sea in a little cove where we ate. The captain was fun and attentive . The boat also has a blue license that allows it to track the whales unlike many other operators. Would definitely do the trip again and would definitely recommend.

    Kim from Tenerife First Excursions helped me to arrange a surprise private charter boat trip for our holiday. She was incredibly helpful and gave loads of options. 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.

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.
