Overall rating

It was good, of course you can't get to know Gran Canaria in a 5 hour stay. But the aquarium, the old town of Las Palmas and the Rumbrenerei were a good introduction to getting to know the island.

Unfortunately, the guide in Tenerife was only able to speak Spanish and a little English. This made the process a little unclear. Things only got better after we arrived in Gran Canaria.

Great guide -fun and informative- tour lasts one hour and takes in a small but interesting and pretty part of the old town -excellent value

Thank you very much to our guide who was very nice :-) We had a lovely tour of the old city of Las Palmas and tasting of tapas !

Jose is a very nice guide. speaks good English and has told and shown a lot. The bikes were good, and the route nice.
