Great trip. The pick-up was 7 minutes late and there are multiple buses picking up people for different tours - some of them also going to La Gomera which makes it trickier to find the right bus and makes you a bit panicky when the 3rd La Gomera bus (which even was from the same tour company) was not the right one. Thankfully, the next bus arriving was our one. Ferry took an hour, after that we got on a different bus in the island. The guide spoke 3 languages switching between them almost seamlessly. (English was a little harder for him, but we could understand everything so no issues there). We went to see few of the best sites in the island - the Aloe Vera plantation, some museum,had a lunch at a restaurant where we could listen to El Silbo whistling language and then went to laurel forest and to see the Roques.We had a ferry back at 5.30pm.As it is lots of sights packed in a day trip with ferry times limiting your time, there won't be too much time at each stop. But still enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars

From the simple booking process, through the added benefit of being collected close to our accommodation, the ferry boarding instructions clearly articulated by our guide Fernando, the whole process was easy and seamless. The day itself was superb with fine weather aiding a calm sea crossing and the journey around La Gomera was excellent with frequent stops to enjoy stunning vistas. Lunch was simple but tasty and, again, the view from the restaurant was amazing. Throughout, Fernando gave a clear running commentary in 3 languages while the coach driver negotiated some tricky roads with ease. All in all a great day out representing Good Value for Money and an experience to treasure. Thank you, Martyn & Jenny Oleman

5 out of 5 stars

La Gomera was stunning, well worth a visit and this tour was definitely preferable to a coach trip! Bit chaotic at the beginning but understandable as ferry times had changed. I thought we were getting an English speaking guide which would have certainly enhanced the trip but unfortunately not. The food was plain but nice. Would recommend if you want to see La Gomera on a fun day trip

5 out of 5 stars

We really liked the trip. It was a shame that due to a strong wind we could not use the cable car but we manage to see a sun set from a different location. All guides were knowledgeable and open to questions. It was quite cold during the star gazing so put something wind resistant. I would recommend this trip as we really enjoyed it. especially star gazing. thank you

our guide Antinio made the day as he was very informative and humorous.. The scenery was fantastic and loads of picture taking stops. Really we needed more time however you can't have it both ways as we covered a good bit of the Island Nice lunch in La Zula restaurant.
