Great day trip to La Gomera. - A fantastic day trip to La Gomera, getting to know the Garajonay National Park, enjoying a authentic local lunch and strolling in San Sebastian. The guide and the bus driver also did a great job. The only negative I can list here that our ticket said pick is at 8:00 am, while we were contacted at 07:40 already, by somebody that we are about to miss the pick-up... Please communicate clearly.

La Gomera - amazing - Fantastic trip - feeder coach picked us up on time and dropped us in Playa where the actual coach we were using was waiting. Francisco (guide) and Jesus (driver) we’re both absolutely amazing. Francisco explained everything and provided a huge amount of information and Jesus driving of the coach around the tight windy roads of La Gomera was outstanding - including reversing downhill for 1/2 mile to let a coach coming the other way past. Once back on Tenerife we had an almost private transfer back to where we are staying with one other lady
The scenery on La Gomera is just spectacular and so so different from Tenerife. Regular stops for photos and Francisco even walked us around the rainforest stop providing information.
Included lunch was excellent.
All in all a brilliant day.

Wonderful tour! - Fabulous day from beginning to end. Jose looked after us and made sure we had all we needed to have a beautiful and successful trip. The bus driver deserves a medal for some difficult driving in a car, never mind a bus. We had a nice ferry ride over smooth seas and the tour really showed us the vegetation, the sea, the cliffs and mountains..all the highlights of the beautiful island of La Gomera. Lunch was well prepared and the whistling is something to see. WOW! An excellent tour. Thank you.

Value for money tour. - This trip was excellent value for money, much cheaper than doing it independently. The guide was very knowledgeable and commentated in several languages. The lunch that was included was nice if a bit rushed and the La Gormera whistling demo was interesting. On a personal note I would have liked to have seen some other spots but the tour overall was very good.

An interesting day trip - We decided to have a day trip whist we were here and went to La Gomera which was a place that we had never been to before.
We were picked up and taken to the ferry terminal where we caught the ferry across to La Gomera which takes about an hour. We had the same coach driver, Massimo, and Samuel who was our tour guide throughout the trip.
It was quite a whistle stop tour, but was very interesting seeing things like the Hermigua Valley, Garajonay National Park, the Laguna Grande, the Roque de Agando to name but a few places.
Lunch was provided at a restaurant in Agulo, which was nice and rustic. Here we also had a live demonstration of Gomeran whistling which was really interesting.
The last part of the tour was a quick walk through the capital San Sebastián before getting back on the ferry.
Rather than be dropped off back at our pickup spot we decided to walk back from the ferry terminal as it was quicker than going round all the other drop off points before ours.
It was an enjoyable day out and we would use the company for other excursions in Tenerife if we came back here.

Terrifying - If wed have been told what this was going to entail there was no way we would have even considered it, It was absolutly terrifying from thr momoent you arrivdd off the ferry from tenerife and stsrted the jouurney on the coach, they take you up.high into mountsins in the clouds and the shher drops at either side of the dangerous roads where stomach chutning, at 1 point the coach coming the other way couldnt pass and a back window of the coach in front got smashed, i was frightned for my life, i bet there has been so many deaths due to the construction, it should be festured on worlds most dangerous roads, it wss boring, extremely terrifying and a total waste of money and risk to life.you should be given a parachute and go on smaller buses, Never ever would i recomenf this stupid dangerous excursion it was the pits from start to finish, i shook every minute till we managed to get back on the ferry where i cried with releif
