We had a wonderful private tour and an excellent overall travel experience. We learned so much about the local culture and history, which made the trip even more meaningful. Our tour guide was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the island. That passion really brought Gran Canaria to life for us. The island itself is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!

Naty, our guide, was personable, knowledgeable, articulate, and helpful. He gave us a most memorable tour. It was varied and full but also relaxed and fun. We recommend it highly.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you, Denise! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering some of the quieter and more special places on the island. It was a pleasure spending the day together. Wishing you many more wonderful travels!

Spend a day with a local!

Shea_M, Jan 2026
Our family of 4 loved this tour! It was our favorite day during our week in Gran Canaria. Our tour guide, Naty, is a Gran Canaria local who is well versed on the islands' history. Naty is inquisitive and adaptable, we changed the trajectory of our day based on feedback from our family and catered to our preferences. The day was full of beautiful views, yummy snacks, and plenty of picture-worthy sites. For us, we felt more like travelers, or locals, rather than tourists. This day was far superior to anything we could have researched on our own. If you are someone who is wanting to see multiple sites of the island including the calderas, mountains, rainforests, etc, we would highly recommend. In addition to the tour itself, Naty was kind enough to help us plan the remainder of our trip. He recommended a 5-hour itinerary that was perfect for our remaining day. Overall, he went above and beyond what was expected.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure spending the day with your family and showing you different sides of Gran Canaria. I hope the rest of your trip went wonderfully—you're always welcome back!

Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a pleasure spending the day with you. Hope to welcome you back to Gran Canaria in the future!

Deserved SIX Stars!

James_K, Nov 2025
There are surprisingly few private tour options in Grand Canaria - so getting one in itself is a victory. You can go places and see things that even the smaller group busses cannot. But far more than that, Naty is a (well traveled) local boy who understandably loves his beautiful island. He speaks to every stop with insight and heartfelt care, working diligently to customize the tour to the subtle cues of his guests. I’ve taken my family on numerous private tours, but this had to be our favorite. You will be amazed as the different micro-climates change in just a short drive. However, you will be even more impressed with your guide. I could not recommend this company more!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Your kind words truly motivate me, and I’m grateful for your recommendation. Hope to welcome you back!

Angela_K, Oct 2025
We had such a great tourguide( Nate ) Nathaniel . He was knowledgeable and paced the private tour well We saw a lot of views and vistas as well as indulging in a little of the cultural drinks and coffees We had a wonderful time and squeezed in a lot of sights despite being on a tight schedule because this was a cruise stop Nate made sure we saw a lot but were on time for our departure

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It was a pleasure showing you around, and I hope our paths cross again on your next visit to the island!

Awesome tour!!!! Don't hesitate do it!

peggyhobusarnp, Oct 2025
This private car tour was phenomenal, well worth the money. Naty was knowledgeable about the island and took us to some places the bus tours can't get to because of the narrow roads. We would definitely do this again with Naty as he will tailor the tour for what you want to see!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for such a lovely review! Customizing the experience to your interests is always a pleasure. I’ll be delighted to explore more with you next time you visit Gran Canaria!

You will not regret booking this tour!

Elly_K, Jul 2025
Booked last minute as a treat to myself - so glad I did as got to see parts of the island that you don't get to see with the commercial bus tours. It was also so nice to not be made to feel like you had to buy anything either from "artisans". Naty was professional, his ride was comfortable and we packed so much into the day. The beauty of having a private tour is it can be completely tailored to you. Naty is Gran Canarian through and through, his knowledge and passion about the island is in abundance. 1000% would do another tour with Naty. Will be recommending to anyone that mentions they will visiting Gran Canarian.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed discovering the more authentic side of Gran Canaria and that the experience felt relaxed and personal. I truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

The best trip ever!

Natalia_B, Mar 2025
Naty is so nice and friendly! He has an outstanding knowledge of the history of Canaries as well as a natural gift of describing and showing the hidden beauty and gems of Gran Canaria. We traveled off-road, away from other tourists, to fully indulge in the amazing nature of the island. We had time to taste local cuisine and do some shopping of local products. Despite some clouds Naty was able to adjust our trip to show us the most stunning views and picturesque towns. I recommend the trip with Naty with all my heart!

Definitely do this! The guide is awesome and is a local who knows all the secrets of the island. We thoroughly enjoyed it both the locations, education, and company.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words, Alan. Sending you warm regards from Gran Canaria!

Friendly local guide

Ariel_T, Dec 2024
Such a wonderful experience! Nati was friendly and made us feel like family. He took us all around the island and showed up placed off the usual tourist route. My one big regret is not booking more days with Nati.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words, Ariel. I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the day and the beautiful spots we explored on the island. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

A perfect day!

Pegeen_A, Dec 2024
Naty made our day! Such a great tour with all the little extras. Special coffee, Wine tasting and Tapas in a magical valley along with spectacular views. Can’t wait to go back!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

When you come back to Gran Canaria, we’ll be here waiting for you! Thank you again for trusting us.

Naty is the BEST!

Mark_C, Dec 2024
Loved our tour with Naty across Gran Canaria! Spectacular vista's, beautiful lava beaches, wonderful food and wine, and a full day learning about the island from a well-informed, fun, energetic local who really loves his community. Thanks Naty!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you, Mark. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day. Best regards, and I hope we’ll see each other again soon!

Excellent private tour of Gran Canaria

michael_r, Nov 2024
Tues Oct 22 - Las Palmas, Gran Canary, Spain. Our guide, Naty, took photos throughout the day and shared them with us. These are some of my photos, plus some he shared. It has unique features like Maspalmosas Dunes and views they referred to a their version of the Grand Canyon. Great experience! Thanks Naty!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

I’m so glad to hear that you liked the photos and enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure for me! Thank you both for trusting us!

Amazing Day!

Kerry_L, Sep 2024
We had a great day with Naty. He is so knowledgable about the island and showed us many wonderful sights. We wouldnt hesitate to book again! Kerry & Kevin, shetland, Scotland

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much, Kerry and Kevin. It was a pleasure being your guide! ¡Nos vemos pronto!

Excellent tour to book

Ben_U, Aug 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Naty so much that we booked him for another tour two days later to see the rest of the island. Not only is he super friendly and kindhearted, but he is so knowledgable about the island. We felt we were in great hands with him as our guide, giving us the detailed history and information about the many sites we saw. He took us to so many special places and gems that we wouldn't have been able to discover on our own. We loved the pictures he also took and sent to us. At the end of the tours, we felt like we made a friend. It's a must-recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

It was truly an honor to be your guide on the tour. Thank you once again for trusting GrancaExperience. I hope we get to meet again soon!

YOU HAVE TO BOOK THIS !

Soriya_E, May 2024
I have traveled a lot and met guides, but never like Naty. Thank you for your professionalism and your kindness, he took great care of my parents, knows his island very well and allowed us to see unforgettable landscapes. Thank you for everything, it was the best choice I made during the trip. I’ll come back and choose you again.

Patti_G, Apr 2024
Top of the Pico de Nubles. Great view. Great tour guy - Naty. The rest of the sights and day were excellent.

Great driver and guide

Rowland_T, Apr 2024
Our driver and guide, Naty, was really outstanding. He is an excellent driver and his vehicle held the 4 of us and our luggage quite well. Our tour had to be cut short due to our flight departure time. We would have greatly enjoyed a full day tour.

Private island tour

Elizabeth_L, Apr 2024
This was an excellent day out, I’d highly recommend it. Our guide, Naty, was friendly and knowledgeable - there was a lot about Gran Canaria that we learnt that otherwise we wouldn’t have known. The day trip was a highlight for our holiday, to see the views and visit some of the locations we wouldn’t have been able to find ourselves. We really appreciated the family photos that Naty sent on after the trip, too.

Superb tour of Gran Canaria!

John_H, Mar 2024
Naty was so knowledgeable about the island and its people. He was completely flexible in following a route that allowed us to see almost all parts of the Gran Canaria. Well timed stops for snacks and lunch were great. Pick up and delivery were flawless and Naty was vary accommodating after we left something in the car and he had to come back to deliver it. A 5 star performance!!

awesome private tour!!

JOHN_M, Mar 2024
Relaxing and very local in terms of new places seen and food eaten. The towns were gorgeous and the local culture was definitely felt throughout. Naty was very knowledgeable and kind and easy to engage with throughout the trip. Highly recommend if you want to get out of the tourist areas and see more real Gran Canaria life.

Great tour

Ray_M, Mar 2024
Was really great ! Tour guide is very nice and friendly, strongly recommend and sure will do it again :) The tour had beatiful spots and views, took plenty of pictures as well. 10/10 !

DON’T HESITATE! Fantastic tour.

Zahra_K, Mar 2024
Do it, you won’t regret it! My husband and I were in Las Palmas for a few days for a meeting, and only had one day to tour the area. Naty was such a wonderful guide. He showed us a completely different side of the island according to our tastes and preferences. He was prompt and communicated very well via WhatsApp. He stopped at two different locations to pick us up as well as a colleague, and we were on our way. We saw beautiful landscapes, stopped at a winery/coffee plantation, and had some bites along the way. He told us a great deal of history and culture, and stopped at some beautiful towns and villages. Naty was so kind as to take multiple photos of us, which he sent us a few days later. His service was impeccable. He is just a very kind and genuine person. It felt as though a friend was showing us the sights. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much Naty!

Terrific Day

Joseph_M, Jan 2024
Naty was an excellent tour guide-informative, attentive and pleasant. We enjoyed the tour and appreciated the island even more. He tried and succeeded in giving us a great day.

The best of Gran Canary

catherinemarystanton, Jan 2024
Naty our guide took us to all the best locations. From the volcano to the beaches to a wonderful winery located up in the mountains it was impossible to pick a favorite. The scenery was incredible and it just kept getting better! This is one trip and tour not to be missed! It was the highlight of our trip and we will always have amazing memories!

Wonderful visit on Gran Canaria.

larry_p, Oct 2023
Natty did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Gran Canaria. He is personable, professional, and he does a superb job of engaging his customers throughout the tour and experience of learning about Gran Canaria. I most strongly recommend Natty to anyone visiting this island. Best tour guide you could ask for.

Amazing Experience

Gary_C, May 2023
We would highly recommend this tour. Natty was an amazing guide. He is clearly very proud and knowledgeable about his birth place. We had the best time ever seeing the real Grand Canaria.

Perfect tour to get an introduction to the Gran Canaria island, Highly Recommended A++

Chris_B, Feb 2023
Naty provided us with the perfect introduction to the Gran Canaria island, although a massive island, Naty was able to take us to several of the places of interest to see some of the amazing landscapes, villages, and wineries that the island has to offer. Conducted in a private vehicle, Naty was very personal and showed flexibility in the tour agenda to incorporate aspects that suited us as required. I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely go on another tour with Naty if the opportunity arose.
