Well worth the money - Fantastic tour of some beautiful villages of the island. Stevie our tour guide who was Swedish was absolutely full of Information of the island. Not only was he knowledgeable he was funny too. Couldn't of asked for a better guide. The places we stopped were beautiful and we were given plenty of time to roam and rake photos. The church that was blessed by the pope was stunning. The rides thru the mountains were breathtaking and some hair raising bends lol but the driver was Fantastic. Well worth spending the extra time and money on this trip versus the island tour excursion

Gran Canaria tour - Superb tour thanks to Alan who gave us so much information from start to finish. Local knowledge of Gran Canaria over the years. Beautiful villages, lovely lunch and the Aloe Vera stop was a bonus. No hard sell just lots of interesting information. Overall can highly recommend this tour. 5*****

Great way to see the island - A great way to see a number of locations on a full day tour. Some of the highlights included; the stop in Teror which was on a Sunday and market day so lots of vendors setup around the town square, huge Canarian style lunch in Fataga, and stunning views from the Mirador Astronomica. We did have to skip the stop in Tejeda due to the Almond festival and limited vehicle access but still a worthwhile day.

Worth every penny......... - After a couple of hiccups with the booking, this was a great way to finish our week in Gran Canaria. Alan the tour guide was so welcoming and humorous as well as constantly imparting little nuggets of local information which you would have missed out on by driving yourselves. Throughly recommend this trip and have already done so to other guests in the hotel.
Trip advisor were very helpful in rescheduling the dates

Quick Stop Highlights - A quick stop highlight tour to some of the pretty towns in the interior of the island. You don't get a lot of time to explore, but great for snapping some photos in the places that you visit.
Most of the time is spent traveling via the minibus, which is air conditioned and comfy. The driver (Jesus) and tour guide (Alan) were fab and made things interesting while travelling from place to place with lots of knowledge about the island.
I would advise other travellers that the roads are winding with lots of sharp bends and inclines. One of the passengers didn't feel very well towards the end, but this can't be helped as it's just the route the trip takes. So anyone who is a little uneasy with motion sickness may want to take travel sickness tablets.
I'd love to have stayed a little longer in some of the places, but all in all really enjoyed the trip.

Not great but ok - The Tour started late, we had to wait for the tour guide and a minibus from another hotel, Alan our guide communicated via a walkie talkie as there was three coaches in the tour, not the best sound quality,the first hour was a motorway run to the north which consisted of Alan describing every shop, supermarket and industrial complex on route, I may as well have had a tour of Lakeside in Essex, he really missed an opportunity to cover the history of the island while heading towards the more real island part of the tour. The rest of the tour was fine except for the regular poke at tourism ruining the traditional lifestyle. The food stop was ok although by 2pm we would have eaten a roadkill donkey! And the Aloe Vera stop was educational if a bit of a sales pitch for very expensive creams and potions!

They use walky talky to talk to you ,so you can't ask any questions - Would have been better if you had more time in teror which is a little gem but didn't have time to look around and tejeda did manage to get a fantastic coffee(€3 for 2) in the cafe near the petrol station . The scenery is breathtaking but you just drive by. The aleo Vera stop is just hard sell of overpriced products. Leave this out and more time in villages.The lunch is OK but we were told that we would have soup,this is served in a small soup bowl 1 between 4 people, there's no bowls and you have to spoon it onto a plate!

No show after booking and no contact - Very poor service, we agreed a pick up at a different hotel because the operator couldn’t pick us up at our hotel, we waited for 40 minutes and there was no show. We contacted the booking platform and they also couldn’t reach the operator. Our full day was wasted and we could’ve took a different Tour.
I do not recommend this operator.
