    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.

    Booked a couple of trips via WhatsApp with Sarah.
    Absolutely faultless from start to finish, she even sent lovely messages when I was a bit anxious which really helped.
    We did jetskis and parascending the first day then booked a Mount Teide trip on buggies another day. We got a nice discount for using them a second time :)
    Thank you.. we will be back ✈️
