We absolutely loved our Self-Guided Tapas & Wine Tour in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria! This was such a fun, unique, and memorable way to experience the local food and culture. The tour included four different stops, each featuring delicious, traditional Canarian tapas paired with our choice of wine, beer, or a soft drink. Every stop offered something different, giving us a wonderful opportunity to sample the authentic flavors of the Canary Islands. The directions were easy to follow, and the entire experience was thoughtfully organized. We especially appreciated the flexibility of a self-guided tour, which allowed us to enjoy each restaurant at our own pace. The servers at each location were friendly and welcoming. On occasion, they needed to double-check a few details with their managers, but everyone was happy to help and made us feel welcome. What made this experience so special was the opportunity to discover local restaurants, enjoy authentic cuisine, and explore Las Palmas in such a relaxed and enjoyable way. We highly recommend GastroWalk to anyone visiting Gran Canaria who wants to experience its culinary culture in a fun, easy, and delicious way. Whether you're a foodie or simply looking for something different to do, this tour is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon or evening! A definite highlight of our visit to Gran Canaria!

Great way to spend the afternoon exploring the old part of the city. Directions to the first restaurant were clear and easy to find. Food and wines were all very good. Note: the tour starts about 4 miles from the cruise port terminal so we had to take a taxi there.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first two locations- especially our second stop! The staff were amazing! Third stop was tasty, but the staff never brought our next tapas even after asking for them.
Fabulous little town. Unique traditional places to eat and drink. Tapas choice limited but v nice.
Unfortunately our tour was cut to three restaurants because the fourth was closed, but the provider was very helpful and immediately offered a part refund. The places we went to were all fun, we received a friendly welcome and the drinks and tapas offered were all good. But the main advantage was that we would never have gone to any of these restaurants without the organised itinerary so it was a good way to explore
There is no guide and no one to meet you at the first location. Completely self guided and at your pace.
This self guided tapas and wine tour was a real highlight of our holiday. Each snack was delicious and individual, the local wine was really yummy too (ask for the dry white!) It was impossible to pick a favourite really, each restaurant chosen was clearly popular with the locals, which gave them all a lovely buzzy atmosphere in the evening. It can be completed at an easy pace in 2-3 hours and you won't need to eat again that day, I promise! The staff were all lovely and accommodating, and don't worry, it is not a taxing tour. Essentially you're doing a lazy lap around the cathedral, admiring the scenery as you go. Great value for money, massive recommend for anyone looking to get a taste of the Las Palmas old town. I'd go back and do it again!
A good introduction to the city. Easy to navigate. Enjoyable tapas and very good measures of wine. I received a very pleasant welcome.
Restaurants very welcoming- easy to find and good tapas. Got us to places we would not have visited or found on our own!
This was amazing! Such good food and service. Area was also beautiful to walk around. Would highly recommend.
Excellent tour, easy to find restaurants in the old town, not far from each other… gorgeous food and a choice of wine, beer or soft drink Would highly recommend & great value
Choice of tapas were limited to only two choices! The ones that were available at each place were not good choices. Wished we would have done it on our own then we would have spent a little less money and have a tapa of our personal liking! This was NOT mentioned in the description.
It was wonderful to wander "Old Town" Las Palmas and enjoy the food, people and architecture of thist beautiful city.
Nice experience but some restaurants we were like gastro lucky guests did not priotize and it pull down the overall experience
Funny idea with tapas tour around the old town. Very atmospheric little Christmas evening. Cozy two hours;but not gourmet tapas, just tapas 😉 Maybe the concept is new, because in three of the locations the staff didn’t know about it and had to ask what to serve; but it was a fun and pleasant experience.
I got the impression that it included a human guide but I got a map in my hand. There were certainly no Gourmé restaurants. It wasn't affordable.
