    100% would I recommend booking excursions with Tenerife First! Me and my boyfriend booked the all inclusive Siam Park tickets which was well worth the price!! We got our lockers, towels, unlimited fast pass for the slides which means we didn’t have to wait in the long queues, all inclusive food and drinks along with the park entrance which would have cost us way more if we paid on the day!! We also booked the Sunset Quad Tour which was an unreal experience!! Our guides Davide and Danny where brilliant couldn’t recommend them enough they was really welcoming and happy to help with any questions we had. Along with providing information about Mount Teide which was nice touch! The drinks whilst watching the sunset were a really nice addition ! Again, I would recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife and wanting to do some amazing excursions ! I will also be recommending to family and friends. A big thank you to Matt for your TikTok videos which helped us come across Tenerife First Excursions so we were able to do these unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet you whilst shopping and have a chat during our visit in Tenerife!! 📸☀️
