Highly recommended adventure we learned so much about the island - Absolutely brilliant trip and the driver we had Charles was extremely good, very knowledgeable about the island! You could tell this was more of a hobby for him than a job! We explained early on that our boy suffers with Autism and he made us all feel welcome and safe. The places we visited were beautiful and the drives to get there were spectacular! Such an amazing experience and highly recommended 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Extra drama from some Scandinavian guests - No commentary whilst driving, something one couple took extra exception to almost ending up fighting with the guide.

Great way to see the island - We are a family of 4 with two teenage boys. We were picked up from our hotel at 7.30am and the taken to a central rendezvous point to meet with other jeeps. From there, we headed off to the mountains and were taken down some very bumpy roads but with fantastic views. Our driver, Elias, pointed out all the interesting sights on the way and was very entertaining and friendly, the boys loved this part of the trip. We stopped at a cafe for a coffee and then onto Fataga for lunch. We didn’t fancy the buffet, so instead went into the main restaurant and ordered pizzas, which were very good! The Aloe Vera factory was really interesting, but the product were all quite pricey. However, we did splash out and bought some miracle creams 😊 Really good day out and a great way to see the beautiful island of Gran Canaria. Dropped off back at hotel by 3pm, so managed to get a couple of hours by the pool before dinner.

Great Day out - Had a really good day on this tour. Picked up from hotel, party size only 6 per car so comfortable not like others with 8 in the car. Interesting points and information provided on route. Plenty of stop off points for photos. Lunch stop provided but not included in the cost. Safe and well managed

Top notch - Had a great old time! Our guide, Charlie, was absolutely lovely, he is a well of knowledge when it comes to Gran Canaria, and clearly enjoys what he is doing. We made a few stops during the trip, had enough time to take pictures, explore, and generally bond with the rest of our little group. It really opened my eyes to how much has this lovely island to offer, come back and explore it some more:)

Amazing day - Had a great day our guide was Gabriel and very good speaking all languages and very informative telling us us about everything. Buffet lunch wasn't worth 15 euros and it was cold not sure how long it had been put out before we arrived. Would definitely recommend this trip for seeing all the different sights.

Great, but accept bumps, cliffs and dustyness - Overall a great trip, with some amazing views included, i would recommend it though take water, suncream and a hat. Also note this is a 4x4 canyon trip so expect it to get bumpy, dusty and pretty hairy in places. Some shapperoning for lunch and places to buy, but not too excessive or forced on you.

Informative and different learning about Gran Canaria. - A different way to see and learn more about Gran Canaria. We had an English/German speaking guide who informed at each stop. The driver spoke only Spanish, but did his part to make the trip more exciting, by finding the biggest holes when we got outside the road. Fortunately, we drove in front and got rid of the winding dust, which almost hid those running behind. Sad to hear that the southern island has not seen water for 2 years, which was seen clearly on the almost empty water reservoirs. You should not expect luxury seats and air conditioning, but as primitive it can be when driving open Landrover. Lunch stops and Aloevera visits are totally OK and support the locals financially (if you buy something).

Avoid at all cost, dangerous and non English speakinh guides. - Worst trip ever. Guide doesn't speak any English at all. Got left behind, jeeps broke down, parts fell off the jeep, down right unsafe.
