“Great way for getting an overview of the city but I think more information could be given about the history of the island as a whole, given that the tour takes about an hour and there isn't a great deal to see given the size of the city and its layout.”
Private Las Palmas Old City walk with a local guide, included tapas and drinks, plus a sweet stop, covering Vegueta and Triana.
“We booked a private tour with Artemi. I can highly recommend our guide. He has extensive knowledge of the history of Gran Canaria and all the Canary Islands. The tour included all the important sights , with lots of recommendations for extra visits and museums to see. We finished with a tapas and drink at a local bar, sampling local foods- totally off the tourist track. We visited places that we would never have found on our own. It was a great few hours.”

“What a treat! Artemis was an amazing guide and a fountain of knowledge. I learned so much today about this beautiful place and the tapas at a local café as our last stop was the cherry on top. As a tourist I would have walked right past it and missed out on the homemade tapas. Absolutely recommend!”

E-bike through Playa del Ingles to Maspalomas Reserve, then a 30-minute camel ride over the dunes, a family-friendly 2-hour adventure.
“We ended up being on a private tour with our guide Lorenzo, so this may be an atypical review. The ebikes provided were useful because the terrain is quite deceptively hilly. We were taken to various parts of the island, and found Lorenzo learned about the local history, and culture as well as many of the botantical aspects of the natural ecosystem. Of the things we did I would see seeing the Dunes of Maspalomas was probably the highlight though we also saw some interesting sculptures. The "camel" ride was fun but a bit dull and lacking any visit to different terrain, so probably more of an experience for kids…”

“We did the 4 hour bike coast tour with Lorenzo yesterday. It was amazing!! We were taken to so many secluded beaches we would never have found on our own. Stopped for the best cappuccino we’ve ever tasted on the way there and a fab smoothie on the way back. We were lucky to get into the banana plantation and the guy took time to explain to us how it all worked. Definitely the best way to get around the island and see all the sites. The bikes are easy to use. Lorenzo is so nice and knowledgeable. We now have lots of places we want to visit. 5 star…”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
