i already know Las Palmas a bit but this tour was exactly what i wanted. exploring the unknown corners with a local guide was excellent! we visited super beautiful viewpoints and i got a lot of new ideas of what to do in las palmas. Artemis is an excellent guide, speaks several languages, is extremely friendly and was willing to adapt the tour to my wishes. i can absolutely recommend this tour

it is just as exciting running to the edge of an abyss you never do voluntarily unless you have booked this. it is really worth it and the costs are manageable because you do not do it every day.

This trip around the Island, was the highlight of our excursions I would recommend it to anyone. If you can get on a coach. Young or old, as the was on our coach, just try it.

Absolutely recommend this trip! So many fish to see and our guide was top-notch and very friendly!! Great experience!

Very good experience and the people in charge are very nice.
