Guided Tour: Discover Gran Canaria

if at all you feel travel sickness its a no no with lots of bendy high roads.we thought the morning was lovely and would of liked more time in the 2 villages ,lunch was ok in a great view restaurant and for 15e 3 courses and a drink it did the job.the afternoon seemed to be about just buy buy buy which is not my thing

Very informative tour, there’s breaks to get souvenirs, drinks, try canarian cuisine and treats, take amazing photos! Lunch isn’t included in the price but cost us €15.00 a head for 3 course meal and drinks (2026). They offer veggie and you can ask for vegan as well as meat n fish options, as a vegan this was very helpful. No eating or drinking on the coach so don’t buy snacks like we did, again this wasn’t advertised and neither was lunch as an option which would have been good to know! The guide was excellent and our coach driver took the mountain on and won! Breathtaking views and an awesome day, also great if you need a day away from the sun Learnt a lot about the island and wished we would have done this earlier in our trip Family as well as couples were on board and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. It’s a long day but it didn’t feel like it! Get your cameras ready, enjoy local produce and meet incredible islanders

Great tour guide! Tour in 4 languages! Very informative and a great overall view of the Island! Not for the faint of heart if mountain roads aren't your thing but we loved it!! The all inclusive lunch for 15 Euros though.... give that a miss.... you get what you pay for. Other than that, great tour!

A super overview of the island. Showed the bedt of the island and its amazing variey. Excellent driver and guide

If you're afraid of heights don't do it; if you can't cope with lots of bendy mountain roads don't do it; if you love an adventure with lots of beautiful scenery then this is for you. I can't praise the coach driver highly enough - fantastic driving! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke many languages.

We booked this experience as an English speaking couple and the assumption that we would be two of eight people. We were picked up on a coach that was much larger and the tour was in English, German and Spanish. The guide was really helpful in organising everyone. The coach was comfortable air-conditioned with charges and toilets on board and panoramic windows and the driver was excellent. We were on the bus fairly early and waited just under two hours for the bus to collect everybody and head up from where we were staying to the first stop on the north of the island. The stop was just over half an hour whether there was a beautiful church and a few shops, we could’ve done with a bit longer but there was a lot of stops on our trip today. Like other reviews of suggested a few of the stops do seem to be centred around selling opportunities for local businesses. One of them was opposite a spectacular view and there was a shop selling various local ways that we were encouraged going in and sample honey rum various treats and browse the merchandise, but we were only there for 15 minutes and it wasn’t excessive. Another one was at aloe Vera plantation. Where they clearly very proud of their products. We had a practical demonstration on some of the products which is a bit of a sales pitch if I’m honest and I got to browse the shop for a bit we didn’t buy anything but I can see that these might be products that some people wanna buy. Of the other stops we did, only two were really touristy with things to see the other three were views/sales opportunities. I should stress nobody was pushing us to buy anything and it was fairly relaxed. As others have commented lunch was good value for €15 but the quality was on the lower end of the scale. Personally, if we were doing this again, I’ve just bought a sandwich and we just sat in the restaurant and had a drink rather than food. The views were spectacular. There was a number of comfort stops throughout the trip and plenty of places you could buy a drink or something to eat or a knickknack. The best thing about this trip was the spectacular views from the bus we started the journey in Maspalomas. We got to see a tourist areas along the coast the industrial zone and had views of the main city La Palma in the north. The bus then went up into the mountains and the environment changed from urban to desert to tropical to Woodland to desert again as we just send it from the peak. I could honestly say the views from the bus were worth the price of ticket, they were incredible. The tour guide was really good provided a little bit of information about where we were and our English was excellent. She was also well organised. The bus driver manoeuvring a large Coach down cliff side roads with traffic coming the other way never made us feel unsafe once, he was really really good. We paid about £70 for this and felt it was good value for a day out from the resort. You can probably expect to spend at least another 30 if you want to buy lunch and probably another 10 if you wanna buy a coffee or a few other drinks, plus whatever spending money you want for the various stools. I’d recommend this and if we came back to Gran Canaria, we would do it again simply because the views were incredible. It is also true and worth noting that most of our day was spent on a coach.

What an amazing experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and funny and just made the trip. It is a long trip and has many short stops. We would've liked more time in a couple places but otherwise absolutely no complaints.

A great tour where we saw a lot of the interesting stops and lunch was great with fantastic views. We especially enjoyed the drive to the centre along winding roads. Tour guide gave excellent information.

Really great trip. The guide Simon knows a lot of the island. I learned a lot of Gran Canaria. We visited the northern part of the island first and traveled via Roque Nuble back to the south. You see that the island has different climates. Tip: take a light summer jacket with you. It can be cold in the mountains.

There is too much time on board the bus, or at commercial opportunities for the coach company to make extra money. The trip was around 7 hours long, 1 hour of that was lunch at a pre-arranged restaurant which presumably has a commercial relationship with the tour company, and around 45 minutes was. at an Agave farm, which sold products and again the tour company presumably gets a cut. There was no time off the coach to walk and explore the area around the best feature on the trip, Roque Nublo, unfortunately.

Knowledgeable guide who provided easy to understand historical and factual commentary in both English and German. Nice short stops to see the villages of Arucus and Firgas. Stunning scenery as large coach made its way up into the mountains. Excellent driving skills by the driver, tight hairpin roads so avoid the window seat if you're afraid of heights! Lunch at the restaurant was very, very average but the setting and views were good. Would have liked more time seeing all the rock formations and scenery at Roque Nublo. Aloe Vera plantation was interesting but felt like a sales pitch. Worthwhile trip if you want to see the majority of the island and the contrasting landscapes in a day but try and go on a clear sunny day as it wouldn't be as good if cloudy.

An excellent guide, in terms if langsames, Provision of travel information and friendliness. Would like to get his (mail) coordinates.

First of all we booked for a maximum 15 persons group and only English language guide. We have got a 40-50 persons bus/coach and a guide struggling with three different languages. We don't like such big groups and to travel by coach, so this was very on the negative side to us. Too short time given in Telde , Firgas and Arucas, used more than a hour for lunch. Lunch was average but cheap, 12 euros for a soup, main course, dessert, a wine and water included. We visited Telde, Arucas, Firgas,Valleseco and we stopped at some Miradores high up in the mountains. The tour and information given was average, I wouldn't recommend it,only if you are keen to sit on the bus 60% of the trip.

The guide was very friendly and knew alot of information which she shared. Stunning places to visit and incredible scenery. Driver was excellent.

The food was very, very disappointing; they should provide more options or increase the quality of it, poor quality and excessively expensive for what was received. The rest of the excursion was very good.

Unfortunately, the tour did not go to Teror.

You get to see a lot of the island and also places you won't otherwise go. The driver and guide are doing a fantastic job and trying to please everyone. Also in terms of languages! However, the content is very commercial with all trial and sale locations. But we should have known that. Still a beautiful experience!

Competent tour guide. Multilingual and knowledgeable. Worth it.

Fantastic trip, but we met at the wrong pickup point. We can't find any mail about pickup location that should have arrived just before departure. Not even in the trash mail. I got the first guide. Very good second guide, but spoke too fast for older people.

I was very afraid to go alone I arrived from Mexico and I don't know this country. I honestly tell you that they opened a small space for me to attend their tour.. being the only one who spoke in Spanish on their tour and gave the explanation only in Spanish for me.. I have no words to thank you for having received me.. your hospitality.. the love and the very beautiful tour.. I met in one day beautiful places, food, and viewpoints. It should be mentioned that your customer service was great.. ☺️ Thank you very much

Fantastisk guide, mycket kunnig, snygg samt en hel del humor. Minus till maten som serverades, hafsigt och slafsigt. Hade vi vetat om kvalitén på maten hade vi tackat nej till det som serverades kort om tid 20 mln per rätt. Väldigt korta stopp, han inte att utforska de fina ställena som vi stannade vid. Plus till den excellenta chauffören som tog oss hem levande.

Excellent aperçu de la Grande Canarie du Nord et du Centre assez méconnue et combien différente du Sud : villes authentiques, nature superbe, verte, variée. Excellents chauffeur et guide.

War ein sehr netter reiseleiter und ein sehr sicherer buschauffeur. Finde dieses feld sollte nicht pflichtfeld sein, gibt leute die wollen oder können nicht schreiben

Sehr gut organisiert die Reiseleiterin und das Programm waren sehr gut. Beim Mittagessen darf man allerdings nicht zuviel erwarten.

I give 3 points, as 4 already means very good. Organizationally good. Guide spoke Spanish, English and German. Destinations as promised. Now the criticism: spent all day in the coach (about 50 people), on the narrowest streets and serpentines. Due to the size of the bus, braking repeatedly in oncoming traffic, or tight curves. Bus driver drove very well though. If you want a tour with smaller buses or similar, you should look for alternatives. We had other tours in Gran Canaria and were disappointed when a large coach was used.
