we had a fantastic guided tour to the centre of Gran Canaria. Relaxed, small group and air conditioned vehicle with some downtime to stop for coffee and lunch. Very enjoyable and the guide spoke perfect English, would highly recommend this tour if you love the nature and want to get away from the coast

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.

Empfehlenswerter Ausflug, um Gran Canaria jenseits der Küste kennenzulernen. Verschiedene Stopps auf dem Weg zu den höchsten Punkten der Insel. Aussicht auf tiefe Täler und Schluchten. Auf dem Rückweg Aufenthalt in Teror, einem der hübschesten Orte auf der Insel.

Our guide, Selena was a delight really told us all the history and information about the places we were visiting

A great experience. Anjellica was amazing and hey hospitality was amazing.
