    We met Dan at the selling point in Los Cristianos and he was more than helpful to give us all the infos we needed to decide and buy the 1 day trip to La Gomera.
    I think is the best deal you could get if you want to spend a day on La Gomera, as the price covers the ferry, lunch, guide and transport with the touring bus!
    Also, Tenerife First Excursions has a huge range of activities to offer at the best rates.
    Highly recommended!

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.
    Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.
    Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Superb people with great knowledge We booked our trip to Tenerife and so followed a few people on social media to get the low down of things to do and places to go and these guys kept popping up so I had to use them for our tours. We stayed in Los Christianos so that was the office we used. I must say I wasn’t disappointed. They look after you at all times. Their knowledge is superb and Mark, Dan, Sarah, Dominika and Patricia are a great bunch of people. Any issues we had (which were few and far between), they helped us to sort it out. Half our our holiday budget was probably spent with these guys and I will use again in future no doubt. A shame Mattie couldn’t pop over for a photo but…….I absolutely love it!!! Collected all business cards so maybe that’ll be a new trend when I get a chance to make a TIK TOK video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sure you guys know who I am by now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work and I’ll see you guys again soon

    Amazing service from start to finish. Very good prices for very good trips. Roxie I dealt with for my trips and she was brilliant. Always kept me in line with all the information I needed and was only a text away if I needed her help. Well done guys, you've built yourself a great team and work place between you all. I will definitely book with you guys again in the future.
