Well worth it. - Excellent guide. Well timed visits. The 40 minute cheese and wine tasting was in a sterile modern characterless hall above a food market. Cost €7 and that gave you 6 thin slices of 3 different cheeses and one minimal glass of red or white wine. Best left out of the trip or move it to the excellent coffee plantation in an amazing valley with it's own micro-climate. Overall then the trip was good value and very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable tour - don’t hesitate to book! - Well organised with a great guide and driver. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the places we visited as well as the history and culture of Gran Canaria.

Amazing tour!! - A great day around the North of Gran Canaria. Very traditional and different from the south of the island. Lovely views, local food, and a super tour guide. The lunch stop view was breathtaking!

A successful day trip - The trip was very interesting and informative. The impressions and views were great, the explanations would have been more detailed if we had understood more. It's a shame that the tour is only offered in English, German would have been helpful too. The coffee plantation was a bit disappointing for us. It was more of a sales event for coffee, wine and cosmetics at very high prices. The wine was a bit neglected, it was only available at the cheese tasting. All in all, a very successful day. Firgas is definitely worth seeing.

Great tour but not as advertised - While we liked our tour and thought it was a great experience. We did feel a bit of a switch and bait as there was very little coffee tasting (only one location). Also the wine part wasn’t included or even a focus of the tour. More transparency on what was included would have been great, and would have resulted in 5 stars.

Not recommended - Firstly it appears that we paid over $50 on the now advertised price. The driver and guide were great, but that is as far as it goes. You do not visit a winery or a cheese factory, instead you are taken into an empty shopping mall and offered three slim slices of cheese and a thimble full of wine at an extra cost of 7 Euros per person. A complete rip off. The lunch stop is a very beautiful fishing village and you have 45 minutes to have lunch, which basically meant negating with the local restaurants “what can I have so I don’t miss the bus”. Last point, depending where you board the bus, expect to spend up to 30 mins at the beginning and end of the tour picking everyone up across the city of Las Palmas. Really not worth it.
