Amazing guide - 10/10 Absolutely recommend Pavel if you're heading to Gran Canaria. The guy's super knowledgeable about the island, really funny, and incredibly kind. He nails the details and has been around long enough to have the inside scoop on everything. Also, don't skip on his food recommendations—they're fantastic. You'll get the authentic local experience with him for sure.

Best tour ever - bar none! - This was the third tour I'd taken in Gran Canaria and this was the ultimate experience. Pavel gave us insights into Canarian background and culture and sprinkled in lots of humour. I saw him interact with all people on tour to learn more about them. We had pictures of the old times to see how things had changed and ... I can't recommend this tour highly enough.
I'd say it was one of the most interactive, fun, meaningful and worthwhile tours I've ever been on.
Thanks Pavel

Great Guide and Memorable Tour - Excellent guide, Pavel, made the tour especially memorable. A long day visiting the most important places in Gran Canaria, from Las Palmas to the highest point to The dunes in the South. Delicious lunch as well.

Great Tour of the island - This tour is not to be missed! Pavel was absolutely brilliant in his description and stories of the areas visited during this tour. This was money well spent and we got a full look at the island. The driver, Salvador was simply amazing navigating those small roads in the bus. Thank you again Pavel! Maryland and North Carolina 🙂

An island tour in a day!, - What a great day out! I booked this trip for myself and my elderly mother who uses a walking stick and hearing aids. The tour guide Pavel was excellent, welcoming, considerate, and so knowledgeable, my mother and I both learned so much about Gran Canaria and its history. The stops along the way were very interesting and the stop for lunch was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend this day trip and the pairing of tour guide Pavel and expert bus driver Salvatore was perfect. If you get a chance book this trip, you will not regret it, we didn’t 😁

Full and thorough tour of the island - Excellent full day tour, exploring some fascinating places on the island. From mountain villages to volcanic craters and the symbolic Roque Nublo and Maspalomas sand dunes the tour had been carefully planned and paced. Delightful lunch stop and detailed commentary which was both entertaining and informative. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day.

A very, very good use of our limited days on Gran Canaria - Tours that Last all day where someone else is in charge of the driving and seeing that you get back where you started for under $60 are the definite way to go, and this one was no exception! It was a great day and allow us to see so very much more of this second destination island in the canaries than we would have otherwise. Our guide was pleasant and considerate, and we would highly recommend this company as well.
