Great experience in La Gomera - Fantastic landscapes if only calima wasn't a thing. It was kind o dusty and windy, plenty of things to do and see. It could have been organized better if they sent us a photo of the person doing the tour.

La Gomera, amazing place - La Gomera, what a beautiful place.
The ferry crossing from Los Cristianos was about 45 minutes. Plenty of food and drink available on the ferry and plenty of seating too.
After leaving the ferry we had some time to spend in San Sebastián. Some beautiful buildings and plenty of history.
Then it was a tour around the island, lots of winding roads with some scary moments but fantastic, breathtaking views so well worth it.
Lunch was included in the price (3 courses) and very nice too. When the meal was finished we were treated to a demonstration of the Silbo Canario, an ancient whistling language which is still taught in the schools on La Gomera, it really was amazing to hear.
Would definitely visit Gomera again.

Efficient tour. - Great all day trip that started off early but was well worth it. Antonio picked us up first as our hotel was the furthest out but was both polite & knowledgable throughout the journey. The ferry was super efficient & you could buy coffee & lots of snack food on board. La Gomera is a stunning island, we were taken on some very steep, winding roads and the driver drove them with ease. There are many stops for you to take photos. The restaurant stop was nice, the demonstration of whistling was unreal. A busy day of seeing the both sides of a very different island.

Recommended excursion - top organisation, punctual hotel pickup, friendly and super informative guide, pleasant group size, climate a bit too cold set in the bus, unfortunately the lunch was not typically regional what would have been desirable, there were only tikü vegetables with little poulet and dry rice as dessert a ice cream in the packaged plastic cup. the soup as a starter was very delicious the bread was unfortunately hard and dry. but was touted in the tour description as delicious lunch. this was not true from our point of view. seating was very tight at the table despite ample empty space and tables in the restaurant.
Conclusion: it was a great and successful trip. can be highly recommended. with air up when eating.

Extremely poor organisation of the tour - We loved La Gomera - few people, quiet, spectacular nature.
The organisation of the tour was very poor. When we arrived at the departure point, we had to make several phone calls to the phone number provided, where we were answered by a person who spoke very poor English, who could not explain when the guide would arrive, but only said to wait. The guide was giving the tour in five languages at the same time, so he couldn't give much information due to lack of time. Before sailing to La Gomera, the guide collected the passengers' documents and lost the documents of two or three of them. I think this is a really terrible case.

Not worth the money. Impersonal. Horrible food. - Not very organised! The guides didn't introduce themselves and were not obvious or easy to find at the port. The way they took our passports and got our tickets for the ferry was chaos. I would've taken passports, did tickets, then put the tickets back in the passports to hand back all at once. Instead they took 20 mins trying to find missing people, etc. Upon arrival, they sent the wrong bus! So we waited 20 more minutes for that. And still at this point, the guides hadn't introduced themselves. The tour began and whilst it was an "English" tour, they spoke mostly in other languages. The food at the restaurant was garbage and they did not cater to any intolerances or allergies. Not even for vegetarians! It was a lot of stopping to look at a view point and move on. Very little history or culture involved. The Whistling thing was interesting, but I feel like they just made it up as they went along. Plus, the guy whistling wasn't very nice (he worked at the restaurant). I asked for a refund and they won't give me one. So I'm telling the truth here..... Not worth the £170!! Don't go!

Terrible tour operator - AVOID THIS TOUR OPERATOR pick up time changed day before travel sent by email which wasn’t received until following morning and we missed the bus! £160 down the drain on the last day of our holiday, Contacted Viator no reply! They could at least have waited 10 minutes for us! Terrible customer service!
