  This was my first visit to Gran Canaria, for number of reasons I decided to stay in the north (Las Palmas) and bought 2 (+1) tours around the island to get better idea of different regions and places of importance. All of the tours were amazing: small groups, the routes were planned with great detail and knowledge of the island, they well-balanced nature, towns/villages and museums (!); stops to enjoy sights, have coffee or lunch were adequate; and equally important: the guides were fantastic! I have trully enjoyed their talking on all kind of topics related to local history, fauna, flora, geology, archeology, customs, legends, social specifics related to current life incl. "covid times" and impact on tourims (seeing empty hotels in Maspalomas), and the like. Excellent.

  This was amazing from start to finish. I was the only one who booked to go that day so I had both instructors to myself. I got a message the night before confirming what time they would collect me from my hotel. This was my first time snorkeling and the instructors were very patient and took everything at the pace I wanted to go. We were in the water around 45-50 minutes and they were really informative, constantly pointing out things to look for and explaining the names of all the sea life we saw.

He gave me time to practice more and made me feel I am in safe. He is definitely has lots of experience to deal with more difficult customers.:) Also Michael who picked us up told us stories about the areas where we drove through on our way to the school. And explained well the documents what we had to sign before diving.
