    Thank you to Kim for helping us to make the right choices. We knew what we wanted, but were open to compromises and different options. Her great knowledge about different experiences helped us to make the right choices to please a little one, teenager and exploring adult. Thank you so much, we had a great time 😀👍

    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

    We have been visiting Tenerife for over 25 years and thought we had done all the worthwhile trips - how wrong could we be! Kim at Tenerife first Excursions was brilliant when we spoke to her about an evening trip up Teide, and convinced us to try the buggy trip to watch the sunset on Teide. Wow wow wow!! If you love sunsets above clouds and mountains this is the trip to do. We had an amazing experience thanks to our fantastic guide with Buggy Canarias, plenty of photos taken of a beautiful part of the island at sunset.Thanks Kim and TFE - we would not have tried this if not for the amazing review you gave. We’ve shared our experience with family and will definitely be booking again when we are next out here next year 🩷

    Excellent experience We did Teide, Icod, Garachico & Masca. Booking agents, tour guide & driver all excellent. Can't recommend this company enough. First class, thank you. We went with them to La Gomera last year - another great tour.
