What people are saying about Las Palmas

Fantastic tour I cannot recommend highly enough. Fran was an excellent guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The tour itself covered some excellent towns in the North of the island, with some beautiful scenery, and the coach was comfortable and driven well. This was a true full day outing and represented excellent value for money. I will definitely be booking other tours from this operator when I return to Gran Canaria

Maria was a fantastic guide. It's a beautiful place & so interesting to see the inner workings of a vineyard from old to new. We loved the wine & snacks afterwards, it was so serene. We would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely experience.

I highly recommend this tour, it was even better than what I expected and the views were breathtaking. Angelica is an amazing guide who made our day very special. Forget about the beach for one day and do this tour!
