Excellent day out. Brilliant guide. - Pavel, our guide, was brilliant. Really well informed and well organised. He has a deep knowledge of Gran Canaria and kept us interested and entertained all day. The tour is fascinating and shows you a different side to the island, away from the resorts.

Great day trip - I thought the host and driver were excellent. Very informative and interesting stories. It's a great way to see some more remote towns and views. Each stop had a sufficiently relaxing pace.

Fabulous tour - This tour gave us such a great sample of the highlights of Gran Canaria in one day. No time was wasted in souvenir shops or waiting in line. The guide was enthusiastic about his work and was very knowledgeable about history, geology, etc. If you only have one day, this is the tour to take.

Amazing - The tour guide was very friendly and super informative. The views were incredible and the places we stopped at were all interesting. The restaurant the guide chose for lunch was well priced and served authentic Canarian food. Great tour at a great price. Was definitely worth it.

A fantastic experience not to be missed. - Brilliantly composed and organised full day's tour taking in the best of the volcanoes and mountainous regions with spectacular views. We stopped at some of the prettiest villages on the Island. A final stop in the South to see the remarkable sand dunes. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and jovial.

A very, very good use of our limited days on Gran Canaria - Tours that Last all day where someone else is in charge of the driving and seeing that you get back where you started for under $60 are the definite way to go, and this one was no exception! It was a great day and allow us to see so very much more of this second destination island in the canaries than we would have otherwise. Our guide was pleasant and considerate, and we would highly recommend this company as well.

The worst! The worst! - It's the worst! The roads are narrow, not paved at all, and there are no guardrails, so I've had dangerous experiences many times. What on earth do we pay tolls for? If they're going to charge money, they should put up guardrails or station people in dangerous places. No one will come. I never want to go there again, and I can't recommend it.
