I recommend it to everyone! We were at the time of the kalima winds. But would love to be there again during clear visibility. Great views! Lupita, Juanjo and Inés thank you very much for the time together!

Juanjo and Ines are a great couple: - intelligent - carying - having a profound knowledge of her country - are phantastic organizer - show you great things, „hidden gems“, away from the tourist mass - honest - full of fantasy - good driver - provide a lovely home made lunch for you I felt in love with the tour and can not wate to make the next one with the sky rebels ( maybe a bit a missleeding title of the“ 2 man company“…)

Second time with Juanjo and Ines after a tour with them back in 2019. Last time was great, this time was even better! They are an amazing pair who make you feel like one of their family. They are so knowledgable and informative. Ines is a fantastic cook making lunch an absolute highlight. Juanjo ask drives brilliantly on roads you would not want to drive yourself. We did the UNESCO heritage tour and would 100% recommend it - so interesting visiting a range of historic and current cave dwellings against the backdrop of the incredible Gran Canaria scenery. We were a multi generational family ranging from our 12 year old daughter to her grandparents in their 70s. All of us were completely engaged by the day. And physically it was not too challenging. (And if you have issues with heights do trust Ines that it’s not as bad as it looks at the Fortress and persevere - it’s not as bad as it looks.)

We recently completed this tour of Gran Canaria with Sky Rebels and cannot rate it highly enough. You may think it is a little expensive but, trust me, it really isn’t. You will have a maximum of six people and three guides. Juanjo who is an excellent driver, Inez an excellent guide and Lupita who is, well……Lupita! You will drive on roads that are not usually accessible by larger vehicles, the scenery is mind blowingly spectacular but you are completely safe in the expert hands of Juanjo. What makes this tour special and different to the others is not only the areas visited but also the fabulous history and myths that you will learn. Most are, undoubtedly, true and some you will wish were true! Juan and Inez will introduce you to some of the ancient Gods of Gran Canaria, you will appeal to the sun god Magec and, who knows, some magic may happen! Last, but not least, you will enjoy a delicious lunch in the open air of Canarian specialities prepared with love by Inez and accompanied by your choice of beverages. Juan and Inez (and Lupita!) are not only the nicest people you could hope to meet but are also local Canarians whose love and enthusiasm for their islands shines through.

We were collected in Puerto de Mogan for an all day tour of the Sacred Mountains. We were driven in comfort and felt very safe driven by Juanjo and ‘Lupita’. A wonderful homemade lunch prepared by Inés was provided. This couple delivered a fun day combining the perfect balance of information, humour and rest breaks. On a somewhat cloudy day our guides used their local knowledge to give us the best route on the day. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge with visitors and our remaining time in Gran Canaria has been enhanced by our day with them. We look forward to future trips and recommend highly.

We booked the Unesco tour of one day. What a great experience! Juanjo and Inés are wonderful people, fun, caring and they have such a great knowledge that they want to share with you. You discover the canarian history, culture and important facts. You go to places no other tours or public go. And ofcourse there is Lupita, a fun personal touch for the kids. For lunch we had a homemade picknick (made by Inés with love, excellent chef) with local ingrediënts and fruits, all traditional food. We were so amazed by the tour and this lovely people that we immediately booked another tour, the Barranco de las vacas. Then we visited the Salinas and also a real cave. There we enjoyed a magnificent view and some local food (once again thanks to the chef) during a rest inside the cave. Again an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for the perfect local guides who are passionated in what they do, Juanjo and Inés are just perfect! We had an unforgettable experience!

Sky Rebels offered a private day trip which included a delightful homemade meal to go with the days exploration. The tour includes several notable vistas and museums to go along with the exploration of key sites. Ines and Juanjo are the couple who drive and guide the tours. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about their home island and its history but they provide plenty of laughs and entertainment along the way especially with their surprise guest Lupita who provided a cheeky commentary.

If you are looking for a perfect gift for someone visiting Gran Canaria, then book them a tour with Sky Rebels! My parents had an amazing time on their UNESCO heritage tour! The personal touch, the non-commercial approach, the passion and dedication of the two tour hosts were what made the day even more special, along the sites and places visited. Thank you, Sky Rebels and see you again!!

We had a fabulous day exploring the Eastern Mountain range of the Cran Canaria. We learned so much about the aboriginal and current island culture. The tour was a great mix of diverse sight ranging from Cave cathedral, museums, view points and stunning nature. Inés and Juanjo were great guides and made the day both fun, engaging and interesting. A delicious lunch stop with home made local tapas was also included and a great treat. All in all a fantastic day and highly recommended for those who want to experience the other side to the Island with real locals as your guides.
