GRAN CANARIA · GRAN CANARIA ISLAND TOURS
One road loops the coast, another climbs to the middle, and a day tour is how most people see both. The 15 below are compared on route, pace and pick-up point — some cover the north coast and the villages, others aim straight for the crater rim and the viewpoints.

“The trip was enjoyable. It was made even more interesting by the enthusiastic and informative guide Pavel. I've never been on a tour with so much information given. Although it was foggy on the north side of the Pico the cloud cleared for great views on the south. I felt it gave us a good overview of the island.”

“I loved the variety of places we visited which showcased the varied landscape of the island between north and south which would otherwise have been difficult to access from where we were staying. The multiple pick up locations were fantastic, the bus comfortable, the guide very knowledgeable and personable. Enjoyed taking the optional boat trip (extra €7.50). Would definitely look for other yours on future holidays.”

“The trip was lead by a husband/wife team who are extremely experienced in tours and tourism in general. We got to see a lot of things in one day. The guide pointed out a lot of things and they were extremely knowledgeable (no wonder since Estefania is a local). The tour was truly a small group experience, with just our family and one more guest. The whole trip was very pleasant and we can only recommend!”

Perhaps the guide or driver could have looked out for a single man and seen me.”
