The visit of the crater is the only part worth seeing, and that lasts about 20 minutes. The botanical gardens were closed, the guide wasn’t even aware

Jordan_V

a very nice excursion! Definitely recommended if you want to see certain highlights such as the Bandema crater and botanical gardens. The guide was very friendly and had many nice points to share together with the bus driver Super Valentino, definitely recommended!

The fact that I could go to different important/popular spots in Las Palmas in just one day was nice.

The tour guide and driver were excellent. Everything was punctual and I've no complaints about the operation. However, it was a quite boring. The botanic gardens were forgettable, as was the crater, and there was little to see in the towns visited.

The guide was very friendly, informative & helpful. He spoke in 4 different languages. You had time to do your own thing & didn't have to stay with the guide or group. The bus was well air conditioned. Stops v close to hotels, of not outside. Would book again

Booked, received email stating pickup was 9:35 from our hotel, I arrived outside 20 MINUTES early, in case the bus was early. Fast forward until 9:50, still no sign of arrival, so I decided to give the tour provider a message. A few minutes later, I received a response stating that ‘Hello! The guide picked up eight persons in your pick up point and you was not in the pick up point You can take a taxi and go to the Tropical Park hotel to being pick up’ Absolute BS. We were the only people waiting outside the hotel, the entire time, I ensured I’d given all of the correct details, double checked even. So, I took it up with tripadvisor to request a refund. At this point, I was a bit disgruntled, but provided I could get my money back, it wasn’t the end of the world. After a while, I received the following response: ‘The tour operator has provided documentation of their passenger manifests confirming other travelers were picked up from the same departure point as the booking in question.’ Either, the tour operator is a colossal idiot and doesn’t know which hotel is which, (bare in mind, I’ve been to Gran Canaria numerous times and I’m confident in my ability to select the correct hotel, etc) or they are utter liars…you decide. I’ve booked a variety of excursions over the years at Gran Canaria with many different travel firms, and this is the first time I’ve dealt with VIMOTIONS. Safe to say it’s the last. To recap, driver never turned up, then told me to spend additional money to get a taxi several miles away to a different hotel, and finally, after requesting a refund due to their incompetence, I was refused as they the bus had arrived, hmmm. VIMOTIONS….more like violator of customer service. I took a chance on a company which had minimal customer service reviews, I won’t do it again. I urge you all to steer WELL clear of these crooks, don’t let them take you from a ride! I mean, they probably won’t as they likely won’t turn up anyway.

A lovely tour and a great opportunity to get a flavour of the North of the island. Beautiful views of the bandama crater and a stop at the tranquil botanical gardens were my favourite. Our tour guide was so friendly and helpful

Un guide très accueillant. Dommage qu’il est plu ! Une journée très bien pour rapidement découvrir de beaux paysages.

Heerlijke & prachtige tour, ophalen en terug naar hotel was prima geregeld. We begonnen in Las Palmas -vrije tijd om oude centrum & winkelstraat aan de overkant te verkennen, heerlijk! Daarna met busje via oude straatjes Las Palmas en via prachtige berg-uitzichten naar "Jardin Botanico Viero & Clavijo. In één woord prachtig met name de Cactustuin en het Pine Wood deel! Toen naar de "Caldera Bandema", prachtige uitzichten van het Caldera gebied en de stad Las Palmas! Afgesloten met een bezoek aan "Las Canteras" van Las Palmas een prachtige lange boulevard langs het strand! Jammer wat weinig tijd hiervoor - bijvoorbeeld voor een verlate lunch-! Maar ach zoveel moois gezien voor mij niet zo'n probleem! Ik ging bij terugkomst, eten in Puerto Rico! Flip van Keulen
