    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 🩷

    Top trip! De kapitein deed zijn best om de dolfijnen en walvissen te vinden en deze zo lang mogelijk in zicht te houden. Niet vergeten in te smeren, dat gaat erg snel op het water.

    Absolute Empfehlung!! Wenn ihr was buchen wollt, kommt unbedingt hier her! Wir wurden echt top beraten, Angebot ist top und die Preise sind echt fair. Unsere private Segeltour z.B. war der Hammer - es war soooo schön, diese wunderschönen Wale aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, ohne sich das Boot mit 50 anderen Touris teilen zu müssen. On top: leider habe ich mir das Bein im Urlaub gebrochen und wir konnten die Hälfte unserer gebuchten Aktivitäten nicht mehr antreten - wir haben 100% Geld zurück bekommen, das ist mehr als fair. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :) Danke für alles, Kim <3
