    We booked 5 excursions with Tenerife First Excursions while on our vacation and the experience was amazing for every single one of them. Kim and Patricia were amazing, they helped us a lot with picking excursions with best experiences. They were available for all of our questions, and helped solve all of our problems. They really showed us how much they care about their customers. I highly recommend this company!

    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!

    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’

    Fantastic Heb deze trip het laatste jaar al 4 x gedaan. Telkens met andere vrienden. Altijd heel leuke beleving. Altijd verschillende vissen gezien, dolfijnen, walvissen, schildpadden. De crew Letty en Fabricio zijn héél professioneel, heel vriendelijk en gedienstig…. Heel gezellige sfeer. De boot is ook super mooi, en wat voor mij een heel groot pluspunt is…. Max 12 personen. Heel aangenaam om zoveel ruimte te hebben. Echte aanrader 👍🏻👍🏻!
