    Excellent service, excellent range of excursions and a very friendly, personal, bespoke vibe. Unlike many excursion operators, TFE only sell deals on the best quality tours which they have vetted personally so others might be a couple of Euros cheaper but you are taking the risk of encountering lower standards. You get what you pay for.Dan the amiable Irish owner takes his personal reputation very seriously and his staff are also excellent. They will do you a package deal discount if you book three or more trips. Couldn’t recommend them more.

    Best Excursion Yet Andrea & Roxi were brilliant help on WhatsApp. I had followed Tenerife First on Instagram so knew they were a reliable company. The excursion was amazing! We paid the extra for the sun beds and it was well worth it. Included in the price was a lovely cheese & ham sandwich and all drinks. We stopped and saw a pod of whales, that came right up to the boat. Then we had another stop for a swim in the sea, which was very refreshing and enjoyable, even if the seas was choppy and strong current. I loved the trip and would recommend! The service from this company was excellent.

    Superb people with great knowledge We booked our trip to Tenerife and so followed a few people on social media to get the low down of things to do and places to go and these guys kept popping up so I had to use them for our tours. We stayed in Los Christianos so that was the office we used. I must say I wasn’t disappointed. They look after you at all times. Their knowledge is superb and Mark, Dan, Sarah, Dominika and Patricia are a great bunch of people. Any issues we had (which were few and far between), they helped us to sort it out. Half our our holiday budget was probably spent with these guys and I will use again in future no doubt. A shame Mattie couldn’t pop over for a photo but…….I absolutely love it!!! Collected all business cards so maybe that’ll be a new trend when I get a chance to make a TIK TOK video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sure you guys know who I am by now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work and I’ll see you guys again soon

    We live here and had family over from France and booked a boat trip through Sahar.
    Just to say we enjoyed every minutes of it! Everything was well organized, we were only 10 on the excursion boat which was perfect and very relaxing. A company we will recommend as they are extremely professional … cant wait to do it again!
