Caves tour - Experienced guides (couple Ines and husband Jorge) are GEM (go extra miles) to show us wonders of this special tour. I fully recommend them for any tours they offer. 5/5. Thank you both. Ted from Canada

The best! - We had a fantastic time. Perfect hosts and different places to visit away from all the usual tourist spots which we really enjoyed. Given lots of information but not overloaded - got the balance just right. Our 10 year old son gave it top marks and loved it. Wouldn't hesitate on booking again with them for any future trips.

More than a tour - Ines and Juanjo were brilliant at teaching the geography, geology, history and culture of Gran Canaria via all the senses. The morning was a fun adventure with the rest of the "family" exploring some beautiful and unusual sights. This was was more than a tour, it was entertainment.

Great photos - I recommend getting there as early as possible before the Instagrammers arrive for endless pictures of the same rock. Very unusual and pretty, canyon is probably only 50-100yds long but it's worth the visit, especially if combined with going to Cuevas de la Audiencia which are nearby.
