5.00This experience was amazing! David and Daylos took us to three volcanoes across Gran Canaria and talked to us about their history. The views were beautiful and the hike wasn’t too challenging. Lunch was fantastic. This was a really cool way to see parts of the island not everyone sees.

5.00Thank you to David & his colleague for an amazing day trip. As a solo traveler I was well look after and got the chance to take some incredible pictures. Due to the rain we weren’t able to take the original hiking route (we were kept informed through the day that plans might have to change) but still enjoyed the shorter alternative route. Pick up and drop off were also seamless - would 100% recommend
Top excursion

5.00Absolutely fantastic day out would highly recommend! The guides, David and Victor, we're very hospitable - we were their 'family' 😁 We were taken for some very nice local food and there was a lovely touch at sunset... I made some great new friends too, so added bonus 👍 would definitely do another tour with these guys. The highlight of my holiday.

5.00The views on this tour are absolutely amazing. There was a good balans between the time in the bus and the actual visits. We got well informed about what to bring and wear beforehand (the roads are winding and it can be cold up in the mountains). The guides Victor and David were super enthusiastic which made the whole experience even better. The food was also very good, even for a Vegetarian!
