Well set up but the final stop at the beach area is too short. Good driver and brilliant guide who pointed a lot out

A good way to see Las Palmas and surroundings, finding places you would not find on your own. Pick up at your hotel, with everything organised very well. Be warned that an hour into the trip we were still circling Playa des Ingles picking up people. Driver was Fran & our guide was Julia. She has a huge amount of information, delivered very ably in English, German & Spanish. Sufficient to say she never stopped talking from we had completed the pick ups until it was time to leave everyone home again. (Perhaps a little too much) Very impressed that when the coach developed a fault approaching the botanic gardens, by the time we had done the visit, a replacement coach had arrived for us - very slick. Too be critical, by the time we had done the walking tour(with commentary) at Vegueta, there was little time to see around on your own. Bandama & Botanic Gardens are what they say on the tin. Free time around Las Arenas shopping centre / Las Canteras beach didn’t really work for us. Shopping Centre is a sprawling area, just like any other centre, and the beach is small, rough & rocky. A bit of guidance on lunch spots in the area would be useful - we had a terrible experience in shopping centre restaurant

Fantastic guide Sebastian and Jose driver. The speaker system was little lacking especially at the back of the bus. Sebastian was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Recommend this trip but if you have a fear of heights sit in an aisle seat, as the road to the top of the volcano is a little scary to say the least. Thanks guys for a fantastic day x

The old town in Las Palmas was definitely worth a visit. Interesting and quaint streets with the church/ cathedral and Christopher Columbus museum. Then grab a coffee and watch the world go by.

We've been coming to Gran Canaria for over 20 years. Always stay in Puerto Rico due to the weather. In all that time, we've never visited Las Palmas. So we decided this time to book a trip. It is a really good excursion. 4 stops. The Cathedral area, the Botanic gardens, the volcano and the beach. They arranged a pick up in Puerto Rico and for the price it's an excellent tour. Each of the stops includes free time to do your own exploring. Highly recommend

This was a great trip! It wasn't as much of a tour as I thought it would be, in terms of getting information about the history or historical figures, but the guide was still great! They took us to several parts of the capital, places that I wouldn't have gone by myself, and it was nice to have time to explore on my own. Definitely worth your while, especially if you're not staying in Las Palmas. Would recommend!

Throughout the day the guide was most informative and organised we had the loveliest day and paced just right. We loved the old town of Las Palmas will definitely revisit

I had such a lovely day in Las Palms thanks to Nebil and lassandro. We went to the old. Town Las Palmas which was beautiful. It’s full of character. We then went to the botanical garden which is so peaceful. We then went to the top of a volcano abd then to Las Carachas beach. We had free time in the old town, botanical gardens and at the beach. We were given lots of interesting information on each place. I would highly recommend as a great way to see Las Palmas.

All stops were excellent planned, on time and the guide was so friendly and welcoming. Had enough time to explore Las Palmas and the beachside. Recommendable day experience!
