What people are saying about Las Palmas

Highly recommended Day Trip in Gran Canaria: Pavel is a most knowledgeable and talented guide who gave us a wonderful experience of the island. He also has a great sense of humour which made the trip even more enjoyable. The day was well structured to provide us with a lot of fascinating information and the chance to explore a little on our own when appropriate. We learned about history, traditions, canarian food, the climate, fauna and flora, and the economy of this lovely island. The itinerary provided us with great stops for photos and refreshments. We were even treated to a free mid morning coffee and sandwich. Lunch was in a nice restaurant with a typical canarian menu. The coach was comfortable and driven with skill by Salvador, a most experienced and friendly driver. Don't hesitate to book this excursion!

Excellent tour with a good mix of sitting on the bus and getting off to explore towns or taking pictures at scenic spots. Stop for lunch where you can have a set meal at a restaurant or buy sandwiches. Tour guide was very informative, friendly and always concerned that he didn't leave anyone behind at any of the stops. Driver was careful on the narrow windy mountain roads

One of the best travelling experience I have ever had! Highly highly recommended, Pavel is a passionate, knowledgeable and easy going guide. Very organized trip and smooth communication, unique view across the island from north to south! Special thanks to Salvador, top-class driver for sure!

Nice bus ride in a small group, we learned a lot of information about life in Gran Canaria, our questions were also answered very well, we were often pointed out to unique things on the island during the trip (e.g. cavehouse). It was a great trip and worth seeing.

The experience was amazing! We couldn’t believe the amount of fish that were so close to the beach. The guide was really good too. 100% recommend!
