Well organised day out to a beautiful island - Questions prior to the trip were answered promptly. On the actual day everything went smoothly and was very well organised. Alesander our tour guide was brilliant, knowledgeable and personable. Aldo the driver made you feel safe and was also very friendly.
Two points to improve on - we would have happily paid a few more Euros to have an authentic dessert with the meal. We wanted to leave a tip but in this cashless era a card reader would have enabled this. Have already recommended to family and we only went today!

Great trip - Great day trip! Must do excursion. From the moment we booked the trip we were impressed. We had quick thoughtful timely responses from the tour company. The pick up was timely and efficient. The ferry ride was lovely and very comfortable. Once at La Gomera, the tour guide Fernando was incredible and talented, with his vast language skills and his knowledge of the history of La Gomera was excellent. Our tour bus driver on La Gomera was also amazing. The beauty and history of the island is must see and hear.

La Gomera Day Trip from Tenerife , an absolutely fantastic day trip. - An absolutely fantastic day trip. A must do when in Tenerife. The scenery around La Gomera is amazing, all in one small island. The numerous stop off for photos and to admire the views really helped to make this a memorable trip. The lunch was the Menu del Dia, Vegtable Soup, Chicken and Rice and ice cream. Pity no chips avaiable as an alternative for kids. The demonstration of using Whistling as a language was amazing. We did not get to see Torre del Conde, a medeival fortification. as specified in the Tour description on-line. However a 10 out of 10!

Wonderful Day - Tour Guide Alex and Driver Gustavo did a fabulous job all day. Alex had a great command of Dutch, French and English that was used throughout the tour. Gustavo's driving skills in the regular sized motor coach were amazing to watch. We had a nice lunch at a local restaurant complete with the "whistling language" demonstration.
The Fred Olsen ferry ride to and from the Island was a great bonus.
I highly recommend this tour

Well worth a visit - Having visited Tenerife many times over the years and watched the ferry depart and arrive in Los Cristianos we decided to pay a visit to La Gomera. Our return trip cost Euro 144.00 for two of us and took circa 50 mins each way. The port of San Sebastian in La Gomera is relatively small with several restaurants and small eateries close at hand to compliment the narrow streets into the town. The town itself is relatively quiet with an historic walk that points out several ancient houses and churches etc.

Great day! - Very pleasant day exploring the island in a 4x4, which allows you to pass through the small, remote villages with narrow streets! Very well organized with guide speaking our language. A change of scenery guaranteed in this green environment!

Long but enjoyable day trip - The Island was beautiful - what a contrast between north and south! Lovely lunch too. Tony our guide was very knowledgeable. Only downside was the journey back to our hotel - we left at 7.30am and didn’t get back until 9pm.

La Gomera day trip from Las Americas Tenerife. - This was an enjoyable trip and provided the opportunity to see everything the island had to offer in a single day. I would recommend making the port your pick up and drop off point as going around the resorts picking people up adds a long time to the trip. The guide was very knowledgeable although English was not his first language and you have to concentrate hard to follow the commentary. The lunch provided was just ok although the whistling exhibition provided by the staff in the restaurant was great. Finally take some warm clothing as it does get cold especially when walking around the forest which is high in the mountains.

A beautiful Island - Arrangements re transport and ferry went well and guide was pleasant
Didn’t learn very much about La Gomera but the stops allowed terrific views and short walks in this beautiful place. Lunch was very nice and whistling exhibition was wonderful. All I all a fine day out although maybe a visit to a craft workshop or hill village would be interesting
