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.

Dude was mad chill and wavy as hell. Knowledgable and witty and funny and kool. He also has the same name as my great grandfather, so we connected on a deep spiritual level.
Angela_M, Apr 2025
Had a great day out, Pavel was an amazing tour host and very knowledgeable about the areas and history of the island. Very informative and good sense of humour.
Nicola_T, Mar 2025
This was the the only tour we took on the island. The rest of the stay we traveled on local buses which were excellent. This tour however was worth it. We saw a lot of areas in one day and our host Paul was fantastic. Great personality and full of funny stories and interesting information. I highly recommend.
nancy_h, Mar 2025
Pavel is the the best! He response email promptly. Answered all my questions prior the tour. Send me photo of the pickup location.
He has full knowledge of the Gran Canarias and other islands in Canarias area. Both history and environmental. Very knowledgeable. I learned a lot during the day.
During the tour he helped tour bus driver in parking places.
In lunch time he helped the restaurant. He has a kind heart.
Very impressive day tour in his tour team.
Audrey_O, Mar 2025
The tour was as good the second time around. The tour guide Pavel is so professional and shares so much knowledge of the areas you visit. Great to see the sights in the middle of the island as well as the stop in Maspalomas
Victoria_O, Feb 2025
Excellent value, Pavel was wonderful and driver Barbara was so skilled on the mountain roads ! Great way to see a different side of the island 😊
Celine_E, Feb 2025
It was such a great trip today! Pavel showed us some of the most beautiful places of Gran Canaria, from pine tree-covered forests and palm trees, rocky mountains and valleys in the north to the desert-like dunes in the south. He told us about the history and about the people and always had a smile on his face! If I had more time on this island, I would love to go on another trip with him!
Brian_N, Feb 2025
Better than just sitting on a beach.
Memorable trip to see a beautiful and varied island. Cracking tour guide Paulo was excellent
A must do.
Graham_C, Feb 2025
Great day out, very interesting and informative, would recommend, our guide was very helpful and Knowledgeable
Theresa_D, Jan 2025
This was a superb trip all thanks to Pavel who is the host / owner of the business and Miguel, the coach driver.
We honestly haven’t enjoyed a day like this in a long time. The whole journey was fascinating and we loved all of Pavel’s tales including real estate, celeb stories, the history of the island and it’s inhabitants. Pavel’s lust for life and the genuine desire to share his experiences is completely authentic. Combine this with Miguel’s driving skills which are incredible. The roads are very narrow and winding, and as we travelled to the mountains, we just went up and up and up, with a huge drop on the one side! I was sitting on the end of my seat with my scarf over my eyes at times but wow, the man has got skills!! Very impressive.
The day is just wow! Don’t leave the island without taking the trip! It’s brilliant and we would do it all again tomorrow!
Grace_K, Jan 2025
The guide was friendly, mindful of the guests' needs and knowledgeable. He also managed the time well.
Great driver too!
Andreea_T, Dec 2024
It was an amazing experience and very interactive. We saw and learned a lot of interesting things about the island in a fun way and Pavel is a great guide, he designed the trip in a smart way and very engaging, it was the best! 👍
Sari_T, Dec 2024
A great day touring the island. Lots of great photo opportunities and quite enough free time. Lunch break at the Labrador restaurant was great, extremely well organized by our guide. We learned a lot about the history of the island. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!
Anita_V, Dec 2024
This is a wonderful tour led by the excellent guide Pavel. He took us on a great route and looked after everyone and told us many fascinating stories: from the heights of the mountains through beautiful towns and finally the Maspalomas dunes, this is a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend it! Thank you Pavel!
Silvia_S, Nov 2024
You have to give this tour try! It was perfect, we saw a lot, Pavel was well prepared for everything. Tour was well organised and interesting. We had a lot of fun 😊
Estelle_N, Nov 2024
It was a very informative and enjoyable experience, thanks to the excellent tour guide, Pavel. This tour is essential for every tourist who would like to see the beautiful and often breathtaking interior of the island. The pick-up arrangements were very clear and precise. The driver was very competent and safe. There was an opportunity to sample traditional Canarian food at lunch time. I learned a lot about the history of the island and I saw different towns, many small villages, high mountain passes and contrasting sceneries. At the same time the tour guide spoke about everyday life in Gran Canaria and interesting things like festivals, real estate prices, traditions and customs, and the impact of tourism on the Canary Islands. It was a most enjoyable day.
Solimar_C, Nov 2024
Great tour. Awesome guide!!! We went to different places and enjoy beautiful towns and landscapes. Highly recommended
Veronika_V, Nov 2024
Great trip if you want to see the breathtaking sceneries Gran Canaria offers. Pavel is super nice, entertaining and very knowledgeable, I definitely walked away with some interesting facts and stories to tell. I wish I had done this trip at the beginning of my holiday as Pavel also gave us a lot of recommendations on where we can go just using public transport and where some nice hikes are.
Anke_H, Oct 2024
Very informative tour with a good choice of places to see. Thank you very much, Pavel, it was fun to meet you. Maybe you could think about offering the tour for smaller groups as well, I could imagine that some people (like me) would be willing to pay a higher price if they could do the tour in a minivan - size group.
Sue_H, Oct 2024
The tour was great, with regular stops, visiting lovely mountain villages with fantastic views, as well as the sand dunes. Our guide, Pavel, was very knowledgeable and professional. He kept us entertained with lots of anecdotes, spoke perfect English and took time to get to communicate with everyone on the tour. David, our driver was also great, especially in navigating the tricky mountain roads. I'd definitely recommend this trip. It's a great way to see the island!
