    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    myself and my family have stayed in los cristianos for 14 days.
    in those days we had booked a few excursions
    the water park
    the zoo
    a boat trip.
    we rented a double scooter as im heavily pregnant.

    everything we booked we dealt with dan, nothing was too much trouble.
    i had a few problems with the scooter which needed to be swapped 3 times, dan personally took the scooter to the provider to make sure the next one we got was in working order, as i say nothing was too much trouble.
    we highly recommend ‘TENERIFE FIRST EXCURSIONS’
