  Perfekt war dass wir nur 16 Personen waren . Gerade in Coronazeiten. Das Personal sehr freundlich und servicebereit. Alles sauber und coronakonform Nur das Premium Buffet war ein Schälchen aus Plastik mit kalten Mojokartoffeln , ein paar Stücken kaltem Hühnchen und Nudelsalat. Das hätte man schoener anrichten koennen mit mehr Geschmack. Dafür wurde auch ein gewisser Betrag berechnet. Denke ich?

  9. Gran Canaria: Panorama Tour

Continue on your journey to Fataga Village where you will have time to visit the old center, not to mention grab a coffee and use the amenities.  Your next stop on the tour is in San Brtolomé de Tirajana, from which you will be able to reach Ayacata and Tejeda, the highest altitude point in the area.

  We booked the panoramic tour because we wanted to avoid wasting any precious vacation time on dealing with the hassle that comes with a do-it-yourself sight seeing tour (you know: finding a rental car, reading tourist guides to define a route, looking for parking space at every sightseeing location etc). Obviously, excursions come at a cost but we have to admit that at least this one, was well worth it. We were picked up at our hotel at the correct time by a charming, friendly guide (called Uwe) who during the whole 8 hour tour, provided us with interesting information about Gran Canaria, showed professional driving skills and provided enough flexibility for everyone (we were a group of 6) to take the time we needed at each stop. Part of the package was also an all-in lunch in a local restaurant which gives the opportunity to actually taste the real local cuisine. But now... the verdict... well, since this excursion met all expectations and there's nothing really which we didn't like,
