This is a really interesting and informative tour. Our guide, Angélica, was excellent. She was enthusiastic and knew her stuff. The trip did involve some walking on uneven terrain so sensible footwear is essential. The tastings and lunch were both very good. It was helpful to be picked up close to our hotel. Would definitely recommend.

On paper this excursion seems quite tame/unexciting compared to others around the world, but it’s actually incredible and Angelica played a key role in that. Firstly she’s very enthusiastic and clearly loves her job and island. Secondly, she’s a fantastic storyteller, painting great pictures for you as you walk around historic sites to immerse yourself in the world. We really liked some of the stops, especially Santa Lucia which was a cute little town that was very peaceful. La Fortaleza was great but became amazing after the history lesson was given by Angelica. Shoutout to our coach driver too who drove with immense patience and consideration (lots of windy roads).

Red canyon trip is highly recommended. Communication with tour provider was professional and trip as described. The tour guide Angelica was fabulous - very enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgable. The lunch provided was excellent. Very good photo opportunities. Must do in Gran Canaria.

Angélica was the saving grace of this trip. I recommend messaging with this tour to clearly understand where you may need to be for pickup. I indicated which hotel I was staying at and the bus arrived at the street in front of the enclosure leading to the hotel, it did not come to the door as expected. I waited for over an hour and received multiple forms of communication that it was my fault to have missed the transport. Luckily our tour guide lived nearby and she was able to offer a secondary option for arrival. Once the tour began, Angélica showered us with information, stories, amazing food, and a truly wholesome experience. I would return if able to enjoy another guided tour with her but not with this company.
