Highly recommended Day Trip in Gran Canaria: Pavel is a most knowledgeable and talented guide who gave us a wonderful experience of the island. He also has a great sense of humour which made the trip even more enjoyable. The day was well structured to provide us with a lot of fascinating information and the chance to explore a little on our own when appropriate. We learned about history, traditions, canarian food, the climate, fauna and flora, and the economy of this lovely island. The itinerary provided us with great stops for photos and refreshments. We were even treated to a free mid morning coffee and sandwich. Lunch was in a nice restaurant with a typical canarian menu. The coach was comfortable and driven with skill by Salvador, a most experienced and friendly driver. Don't hesitate to book this excursion!

Great excursion, very scenic and informative guide. Lots of hair pin bends on the whole journey. Pick up in the morning was a bit chaotic, I think a photo of where we were to meet would be helpful as there was another entrance. Another driver who picked us up in a car was a bit rude. But apart from that minor mishap it was a great day. Thanks

From the pick up to the drop off the whole trip was great. The 4x4 wheel is fun, driving us through mountains with beautiful nature and a lot of a history about it. Got breaks to have a breakfast, lunch and some shopping. Also the Alovera shop was nice, tour guide was super fun. Great experience definitely recommend it

One of the best travelling experience I have ever had! Highly highly recommended, Pavel is a passionate, knowledgeable and easy going guide. Very organized trip and smooth communication, unique view across the island from north to south! Special thanks to Salvador, top-class driver for sure!

Couldn't recommend this more. The interior of Gran Canaria is stunning and often missed by tourists sticking to the resorts. Jose was a brilliant, friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide and an expert driver, which helped with some of the narrower off-road mountain tracks!
