  • 5Great experience and different perspective of the island!

    We were picked up from our hotel which was instantly a great convenience and comfort knowing we would also be dropped off at the end, which avoided extra cost on travel. Our tour guide and driver Celeste was punctual and extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating from the start, not just to me a but to everyone else with us. We also met up with another half of the group and other guide Stefano who, like Celeste, was extremely friendly, warm and accommodating. We did not know what to expect before the tour, we knew about the Red Canyon (as it was the name of the tour and the reason why we booked it) and that there would be food, but we were pleasantly surprised by all the other stops made. Both guides were very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting stories and facts along the trip, also adding in a little humor which made the experience extra memorable. The food was also delicious!! They took us to us to a restaurant where all the food was homemade. The dishes were shared, 1 plate would be shared between about 4 people, so you got to taste enough of everything but if you are a big eater I would suggest having a decent breakfast beforehand and/or also taking some snacks. All in all it was an amazing experience and great day out. Definitely worth the price!

About Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is a round volcanic island in the Atlantic, nicknamed a miniature continent for its dunes, ravines, pine forests and mountain peaks.

Gran Canaria rises from the Atlantic to a rim of peaks, and it has been called a continent in miniature because it holds desert dunes, green valleys and cool forests within a short distance. Las Palmas, on the north-east coast, is the island's capital, with the old quarter of Vegueta, its cathedral and the Casa de Colón, where Columbus is said to have stayed. Las Canteras beach runs for three kilometres along the city.

Top-ranked sights in Gran Canaria: Bandama Caldera (Caldera de Bandama), Roque Nublo, Vegueta.
