A Victor-ious experience! 😀 - What an experience! We had a fantastic day being guided through the natural beauty of Gran Canaria by Victor (and Pedro, our bus driver). Our first stop in Firgas set the tone with how knowledgeable Victor was, not just about Gran Caneria and the other surrounding islands. We were also privileged to have the guide through the eco farm and taste the produce grown around you was a fantastic experience, One of the huge bonuses of this package is the door to door service so you don’t need to worry about anything. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant day out - Great way to explore areas a little further "off the track", with some brilliant stops at more popular sites. The guides (Victor and Santi), we're both wonderful; super friendly, chatty, and able to answer any questions. Brilliant day out - would definitely book with them again.

What a enjoyable full day - What an enjoyable day! We were Messaged via WhatsApp few days before to confirm trip and apartment we were staying in and tickets sent to us- we were lucky that they picked us up outside apartments which was on a steep hill with minimal turning space (I think this was due to being a small group so only needing mini bus, we were a family of 5 and one another couple on the tour so 7 in total) day of trip was messaged again to confirm pick is on time. Victor arrived bang on time with a big smile and excitable personality to match! Victor explained the day ahead, on route to rainforest we stopped in small village for coffee/cake break Victor gave us an insight to Canary Islands and history. Went into rainforest which was great experience but you do need to be mobile and steady on your feet. There is a wait area just after the beginning of the forest if your not so good on feet but you do miss most of the “adventure” and seeing a natural waterfall. We then went to local farm for a simple rustic lunch - majority of food was grown on farm some may say it was snack but more than enough for us - bread/fruits/cheese etc We ended at the beach with natural pools, sea was quite rough our day so not everyone went in however still pleasant, then headed back to apartments. We also had plenty of photos taken of the whole day by Victor, which he sent the link few days later for us to download whatever we wanted before it expires in 3 months. Overall it’s a full day and well worth the money, I feel we may of been that bit extra lucky due to the small size of the group but still feel even in a bigger group it would be just as special! Massive thanks to Victor for being so fun and for the special tomato/sunburn advice it worked a treat!!!!

Tarzan for a day - The experience was very beautiful and varied. The super nice and friendly Guide and the tour is varied just right: first visit to a typical local town, tarzan style adventure time in the rainforest, lunch stop with fantastic raw materials and final swim in the natural pools. Experience to put in your luggage.

Rainforest - Santiago the guide was very good, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Best part was lunch and tour of the garden. Walk up the canyon was ok but was expecting more interesting flora and fauna. Firgas toilets were closed and not much to see. Rock pool swim at end of the day was nice but nothing special
