Siam Park is the place to go on Tenerife. Get there early (9.30am), do the big back-of-park rides first ... and you dont need fast pass, with longest summer queue being circa 30 mins. Great family fun. Just do it!

Since we were traveling independently, getting to the Elephant Conservation Center was a challenge. Booking a tour with Klook that included transportation made things much easier. Our guide and driver were also very friendly, sharing historical information along the way, which added even more memories to our trip.

This was an excellent experience. The crew was very good. I highly recommend it. I took the night tour, which is the best part. You should take the two-day pass if you are in San Francisco for two days. One day you can just roam around, and on the other day, you can get off at all the stops. I really liked the facilities, which were very good, and the ease of booking on Klook. I am a Platinum member and must say it is very easy to use the Klook pass and then book everything. I did not take the Klook pass for San Francisco because I was only there for two days and was just doing the hop-on-hop-off bus.
