Top Gran Canaria Day Trips - page 4

Pavel provides a well managed, informative and attentive tour. His spoken English is excellent and he goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and all questions answered. Would highly recommend this tour earlier on in your visit to Gran Canaria as provides a useful overview of the island and, in our case, a helpful guide to the some of the best hiking areas.

This is a long tour (8-9 hours) but somehow it doesn’t feel long when you are taking part …. It is a small group tour with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. There is lots to see (some real “wow moments” ) and Laszlo is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour included a tapas picnic lunch which had been personally prepared by the tour hosts. We ate our lunch in a beautiful pine forest at one of the highest points of the Island. The tour includes lots of stunning views, a bit of local history and culture, some useful photography tips and service with a smile and the warmest of welcomes. The pace of the tour was relaxed and informal. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting the Island who wants to learn a little about Gran Canaria during their stay.

We had a really enjoyable time on the Buggy Tour in Gran Canaria. Pick-up from the hotel was right on time and we were taken straight to the starting point. The group was quite large on the day, so the ID and disclaimer process took a little longer than expected, and I noticed a few impatient faces, but once the engines started it was well worth the wait. The staff were fantastic – welcoming, professional, and full of energy. A special mention to “Speedy” who definitely lives up to his name. He zooms around on his moped keeping spirits high and really adds to the fun of the day. The tour itself is very accessible, something anyone can take part in. Most of the drive is along winding tarmac mountain roads with amazing views, before switching onto a short dirt and gravel stretch for a taste of off-road driving. Personally, I enjoyed the tarmac sections most, but it was nice to get a little mix of both. It’s not a free-for-all but a structured drive in a convoy of 10–15 buggies, which makes it safe and easy to enjoy. Altogether, it’s a few hours of beautiful scenery, fun driving, and plenty of laughs with the group. Simple, safe, and great fun a brilliant way to see a different side of Gran Canaria.

Laura was a wonderful guide who gave us lots of information and was patient with our group. The weather was exceptional and we had a beautiful, cloudless view of Roque Nublo. I loved the Saturday market in San Mateo. Wonderful views in the mountains and I felt safe on the curvy roads with our driver, Rebeca.
