Stunning - Stunning views. Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. The actual trip and guide were amazing. I was disappointed however that just a couple of days beforehand I was emailed to say they wouldn't be picking us up and that we had to make our own way by bus to a hotel that we didn't know. Everyone else was picked up at their own hotels. This made it a little stressful beforehand.

Very good service and great communication! - The communication with them was wonderful! Eliazar was extremely responsive, helpful, and fast.
I went on the La Gomera tour with them, although the tour was outsourced to a different company. The tour itself was great. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the driver was also very friendly. We had enough time to visit places, take photos, and enjoy some leisure time.
We had some hickups regarding the pickup location. But luckily the guide was able to find me.
Overall I'd still recommend the agent because of their good service. And La Gomera is definitely worth a visit!

Less of the Aloe - La Gomera was a lovely island but the tour felt very much bus based. The longest stop was an aloe farm sales pitch which was a very disappointing waste of time when you are only visiting for a day it also wasnt on the itinerary when booking. The town of Hermigua look nice but missed as only the aloe farm was visited
The forest stop in the national park was nice but far too short to go for much sightseeing. The photo stops were nice and the local whistling language display was very impressive. San Sebastian stop at the end was nice and there was time for a bit of sightseeing.

Scam! Don’t book this, it’s not private. - Private tour!? What a scam. We where stuffed in a completely filled bus with 50 other people. Don’t book this, you pay extra and it’s absolutely not private. What a waist of money, time and energy.

Avoid at all costs! - This tour pretends to be a private tour which it is not!!!!!
You pay some extra money, but you end up in a bus with 45 other people.
There is nothing wrong with a big group tour, but if it is advertised as a private tour (especially in corona times) it is sad when you end up in a big bus packed with people.
When confronting the agency, they told us that it is a missunderstanding and "private tour" doesn't mean "private tour". Please see the pictures attached and judge yourself 😉
Unbelievable and very sad!!!
