Gran Canaria: Echoes of Time – Exclusive Historic Odyssey

The tour was very well organized, with a professional guide. It covers the main attractions of the island. I can only recommend it to everyone.

Loved this tour - our guide was excellent. Very informative, speaking Spanish, German and English along the way. At times, high up in the mountains, the roads were pretty scary. It had been raining too. The towns and viewing stops were stunning and enough time was given for a wander and cup of coffee. The lunch stopover wasn’t great, but okay and very good value. I would certainly recommend this tour if you are looking to visit some highlights of Gran Canaria and learn about the islands history.

It was a full day exploring the mountains and visited a Cave home, one town Teror for 30 mins and another town for a toilet break of 15 mins. The guide spoke both German and English throughout as mixed group. We were taken to a place to eat a set lunch for €15 which wasn’t what we expected as was told we were going to have 2 hours to enjoy lunch - we expected to be able to choose somewhere nice to eat. The set lunch wasn’t very nice. I think we were two small groups English and German that was put together to make viable. The guide was very knowledgeable and the driving skills of the coach driver were tremendous as the roads were very narrow and in some cases very high up. We saw a lot and glad we did it but would recommend to leave people in Teror for longer to see the town and ditch the set meal as wasn’t at all nice.

The advertisements for this tour leads one to believe that the transportation is by minibus whereas we were taken by coach which limits the views somewhat. Guide and driver were both good.

Spectacular tour! The guide was very friendly and knows 7 different languages. I felt like we traveled around the whole island and got to see the major points of interest.

Great trip around the island. Our tour guide Simone was very informative and took good care of us. Fantastic very skilled driver Manolo did amazing job driving us through mountains.

Most of the fond memories were ruined by the last stop at aloe "farm" dusgusting to drop tourists off at a store and disguise it as part of sightseeing, only to have quacks lie to you about the panacea of the aloe plant and peddle their insanely overpriced products. Utterly exploitative. I can only imagine the store pays the tour company for this tourist trap. Apart from that the trip was great. Great views, amazing guide, such a memorable experience. Without the aloe "farm" it would have been 5 stars.

The tour guide was really nice but the tour was terrible, being on the bus and seeing the landscape plus the highest point on the island were the highlights. For lunch you are brought to place and given a very limited options menu but the restaurant do have a full menu so if you can order from that as the set one is bad and really small. In the description it also says there is an hour for lunch and explore but we were given about 20 mins. The aloe Vera farm is only a sales pitch and shop, the whole tour felt like being driven around from shop to shop to get you to buy stuff. I'd recommend going for a different tour

Each place visited was very nice but all linked to ‘gift shops’ and encouragement of spending. The journey was informative but not enough time in each place to explore. Lunch was pleasant but the venue was very full. The cost of lunch was very reasonable. Guide was nice and gave a lot of information. The whole excursion was nearer 9 hours than the advertised 7 hours.

We had a great day out, whilst seeing a lot of the island of Gran Canaria. Dom, our tour guide was brilliant, learnt so much.
