The availability of walking poles for those who needed them was a bonus and lunch was very good, introducing us to the delights of Canarian food. I would highly recommend this tour. Sunset amazing.

5.00A beautiful last day on Gran Canaria! A tour that shows you the ‘heart’ of Gran Canaria - the calderas that formed the island. Excellent tour for a solo traveler like myself; small group but lots of beautiful stops and great knowledge sharing. Our guide, Celeste, was a great storyteller and we even played a car game on the last leg back to Las Palmas! Excellent views, excellent lunch, and despite a fire warning in the area which prevented us from doing the Roque Nublo hike, our alternative adventure in the caves near Tejada was excellent. A history of the island beyond just the beautiful beaches. And the sunset was tops! 10/10
Despite fog a great day 🙂
