Wonderful guide Franco...

PatriciaHoltzmann, Mar 2026
Wonderful guide Franco and driver. I enjoyed seeing the high mountain peaks and visiting charming towns.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks Patricia for your review. We will keep on doing the best for our visitors. Regards

Rough Day in the mountains.

Nelson_M, Jan 2026
The weather was very changeable. This lead to modifications during the day and completely eliminating the pine forest walk. Perhaps guests could have been given the option to redo the tour another day at no cost.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for your review, We are sorry but this is not hiking tour, there is no information about walking or include pine forest walk....Please check your booking. We cancel the tour when the local authorities inform us to do it....(warning) but not the case... Sorry for bad weather , rainy day difficult perfect seeing or views but this is not under our hands. We can not offer not make tours FREE.... Regards Bruno

Seeing Gran Canaria

Allan_B, Dec 2025
The tour took us to a lot of really interesting places and showed what a beautiful island Gran Canaria really is. The scenery is spectacular. Our guide (Laura) did a great job explaining everything and guiding us around the various stops. She had to explain everything in both English and Spanish so that was no easy task. Our only disappointment was with the weather that was quite wet and rainy for the majority of the tour. Overall, pretty pleased.

Mountain trip

Catherine_R, Nov 2025
Super way to see the north of the island in one trip. I would highly recommend this trip and the tour guide was very informative and helpful.

Bandama

Marta_S, Sep 2025
Great tour guide and overall experience. Beautiful sites worth visiting with plenty of time to see and explore on our own as well.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks a lot for your contribution, great pleasure to attend you last week. Hope to see you any other date on tour. Regards Bruno J. Knudsen

Beautiful views in the mountains.

Jane_K, Jun 2025
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.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks a lot for taking your time and review us. Glad to hear our services fullfillment your expectations. We will convey to Laura your satisfaction with the tour. Hope to see you again on board !! Saludos cordiales Bruno j. Knudsen

Great way to see the island

Vivien_M, Apr 2024
Best way to experience the island in a day, from a Saturday local market to pine covered mountains. I would never have tackled those mountain roads myself. Really enjoyed the free time in various small towns, but always wanted longer.

Lot to see on this trip

Laszlo_B, Mar 2024
The scenery travelling around the mountains was nice Pardilla tours using a smaller bus for this trip around 25 people. Unfortunately the guide talked too much Spanish as the majority of the people were Spanish I thought this was an exclusive tour just for English speaking people. So most of the time just wondered around on my own as it took too much time to wait for the talk when we had short stops

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Laszlo, Thanks for your review, we do not agree with your commentary as never we abandoned or not dedicate time to our guest. You decided to go by your own because maybe you expected almost a private tour or lack of patience. All our tours are always in English and Spanish, simultaneously....and this is clear and it is stated in your booking (prior you ordered) Occasionaly if anyone asked for something particularly, we will not translate all to english, and same to spanish. Secondly 9th March we had on bus 23 pax....8 were only in spanish and 15 in english, therefore not majority were spanish.....as you said. Anyway you were looking maybe for 46 euros a private tour, but this might not be possible. Kind regards Bruno

Mountain tour

Tara_C, Mar 2024
Our guide Francisco was excellent! It was a great tour to see the mountains and experience more of Gran Canaria. Highly recommend!

Great Island Tour

Sarah_D, Feb 2024
I was welcomed very friendly and enjoyed the tour in a modern guagua (Kleinbus). You see not only the peak of the mountain but also the most beautiful villages around it. The tour guide Jose did a great job and the bus driver was driving smoothly.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks a lot for taking your time and review, also nice descriptions for future or potential guest. Hope to see you next time. Have nice stay Bruno Knudsen

A good way to cover many sights in one day

Iuliia_S, Nov 2023
A nice tour to see lots of things in one day, pity that a walk up to Roque Nublo is not included. Overall, it would be good to have a detailed description of the tour, stops and free time - was not fully clear while booking. Teror is worth staying a bit longer. There was no Q&A with the guide and not too much interaction.

Interesting day trip. ...

JA_T, Mar 2023
Interesting day trip. Well paced. All arrangements ran smoothly. Guide and driver were excellent. Worth doing.

Another perspective of Gran Canara

Russell_D, Mar 2023
The panoramic views from the visited peaks and view points, gave us another whole experience of the island, as we are staying near Playa Cantera. It was just as enjoyable to visit the few villages included in the tour. As it was Saturday, the villages were busy with markets and shopping. Fran, our Tour Guide was great.

Tour guide Vera and...

Deborah_E, Feb 2023
Tour guide Vera and driver Barbara were wonderful. They created a good atmosphere in our multilingual group. Vera’s enthusiasm for this trip was clear and lively. Most enjoyable.

The highlight of my trip to Gran Canaria

Marc_L, Sep 2022
It was exactly the kind of tour I was looking for and Fran was a great guide! Spectacular nature and very interesting information!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Gracias Marc, appreciated for your time to review us. Hope to see you next time, Welcome to Gran Canaria Bruno Knudsen

Great day out !

John_B, Feb 2022
An excellent mix of beautiful views and picturesque villages. Our guide was really informative. Also we had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant.

Nice trip.

Synnoeve_A, Nov 2021
The guide was clever, had knowledge about everything. A great trip. The mountains are great. More walking had been Nice.

Beautiful with full story and history tour

LiliaGriselle_G, Apr 2026
The tour guide gave very good information and bullet between English and Spanish and knew a lot of info. Since there was a lot of fog on the rock and you could not see anything we used that time more exploring Tejeda and Teror beauties of villages yet I have photo of a peak with fog and there were many stunning views in the other part of the tour the volcano with the caldera was also very impressive especially because of the information they also give you. I ate very rich in Tejeda and there is a bakery that also has some sweets and desserts gluten free in addition to a lot of gluten. It is also a good route to buy typical local products and boutiques, artisan perfumes in your spare time. I would have liked that if I had more time in the boiler to walk around more or a stretch of nature walk about 30 minutes. This tour is good for older adults there is no physical effort and a lot of panoramic view but for those of us who want more hiking it would be good to add a little trail. But the truth was excellent and we still arrived by day at 5:30pm in Palmas and energetically.

Excursion très intéressante. Excellent guide qui a pris la peine de nous parler en français et qui donne beaucoup d’informations. Beaux paysages. Conseil pour le repas: apporter votre lunch.

Muy interesante y bonito todo.

JOSE_J, Feb 2024
Viaje comodo, puntual, con tranquilidad y tiempo para todo y visitando las cosas mas interesantes de la isla en un recorrido muy bien organizado. Teror muy bonito, San Mateo... bueno, el mercado no era para tanto, tal vez hubiera sido mas interesante bajar a Tejeda pueblo. es una sugerencia. Muy bien en general

Bra översikt av Gran Canaria

Peter_E, Jan 2024
Bra översikt av hela Gran Canaria. Besök på öns högsta punkt med underbar utsikt. Bra guide som berättade om både historia och växter ect. som finns på Gran Canaria. Föraren tag bussen på runt på de kurviga vägarna med säker hand.
