    Car hire Lindsay was amazing when it came to finding us the perfect car for hire! We was a little apprehensive with it being our first time driving abroad and not knowing where to start but Lindsay secured us a fab deal! Original pricing was a little outside our budget range on site but Lindsay kindly enquired with several companies to get us the best deal, they even dropped the car off and will pick it up once finished. Again, Lindsay checked in with us following pick up to make sure everything was OK and gave us a few driving tips! Thanks again, will most certainly rent again on our next trip x

    Sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide Me and my partner booked with Trev who was super helpful and friendly and made it all really easy. We done the sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide which I would highly recommend to anyone. It was super fun driving the buggies and the views at the top were beyond stunning! Would definitely recommend booking through tenerife first excursions and would use again if we came back.

    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 ✈️
