★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 798 reviews · 7 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $119

A small-group Red Canyon tour in Gran Canaria with viewpoints, aboriginal cave history, a colorful ravine hike, and a local food tasting.

“On paper this excursion seems quite tame/unexciting compared to others around the world, but it’s actually incredible and Angelica played a key role in that. Firstly she’s very enthusiastic and clearly loves her job and island. Secondly, she’s a fantastic storyteller, painting great pictures for you as you walk around historic sites to immerse yourself in the world. We really liked some of the stops, especially Santa Lucia which was a cute little town that was very peaceful. La Fortaleza was great but became amazing after the history lesson was given by Angelica. Shoutout to our coach driver too who drove with immense patience and consideration (lots of windy roads).”
