5.00What can I say? I came to the island looking for adventure, to explore its natural beauty, and, importantly for me, get an authentic insight into the real Gran Canaria. With Celeste and Angelica I got exactly that. Super friendly, knowledgable, and passionate about the island, history and culture. And what they were doing. They knew their stuff, from pick up, to driving the winding roads up into the mountains, and inspiring us all with their stories about the island and its history throughout the day. Many highlights, couldn’t pick one, even Celeste’s music taste was a treat. And her driving skills. Many thanks to you both, as well as the rest of the team, and the various locals involved along the way who warmly welcomed, fed and treated us. Great experience, highly recommend.
