    I contacted Daniel on whatsapp and explained what excursions we were interested in and he asked us to come to the shop to have a look at all the options.From the minute my boyfriend and I arrived at the shop, he welcomed us with a massive smile and was so welcoming.Showed us so many videos and pictures and gave us tips on what suited our taste best.. We booked 4 packages that day ( 3 hour road quad bike, 1 hour jetski, day yacht tour and parascending).On the last day, I realised that parascending might be a bit too extreme for me, so we texted Daniel and explained our situation and in no time he came with a solution in minutes.Just an FYI. all tours take professional pictures of you for around 20 euros, so just enjoy yourself and forget your phone, as they will capture all the best moments for you. all you have to do is smile and enjoy.We honestly can't thank you enough Daniel, for the amazing experiences and memories you have brought to us trough your amazing exursions.You have a customer for life and we hope to see you again in the near future.Lots of loveSamuel & Steph

    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.
