Gran Canaria

  The trip was fabulous, just a small group in a minibus and Simon was very informative, took us places where you wouldn’t probably go without a guide and a nice... read more tapas lunch, highly recommend

  This is a brilliant trip suggested to us by Tobias at Discovery Tours in Puerto Mogan. We had a wonderful time seeing the interior of Gran Canaria, the viewpoints, charming... read more towns and other delights, without the stress of driving the switchbacks or worrying about running over the many cyclists. Uwe Aha, our tour guide was knowledgeable and full of entertaining anecdotes, a comedian of sorts really!
Loved it and all three of us would highly recommend it, jolly and well worth it!

  Gran Canaria MAXXX tour was amazing!! Simon was very informative and we learned so much from him about the Gran Canaria! Small details that we wouldn’t have any idea about.... read more We passed by so many places and so many stops and the most amazing was the highest peak in the island: El pico de las nieves and everywhere surrounding it from the mountains to the beautiful views where we basically managed to see all the island and Tenerife as well!!! the island isn’t that big but very tricky to get around and with Simon, you’ll be getting an unforgettable canary experience. The tour was everything we’ve imagined and more and would highly recommend for anyone visiting.

  Guide with great passion and knowledge about Gran Canaria and all Canarian Islands. We have chosen individual trip and with Szymon's help we have planned the course of a trip... read more right for out family. I recommend such option to all families with children, instead of group trip from travel agencies. Szymon in a funny way told us about an island. During the trip we were able to feel climate of island and its taste. I hope that in all place where we will be in future I will have guide with such great passion and involvement. …

  I joined this tour with my friend. It was a small group of 4 people in total so it was more comfortable compared to big tours. We really enjoyed all... read more the stops, in particular Teror. Simon have a lot of interesting information about the culture and history of the island. A tip from me is to bring nausea medicine if you suspect you may have car sickness since the mountain roads have a lot of curves. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see cute Canarian towns and try local food!

  Wonderful tour around island with great commentary and scenery. Bus was clean and Simon was prompt with pickup at the cruise port. Great Gran Canaria lunch. You... read more can’t go wrong with booking with him.

  This tour was amazing, it allowed us to explore the beautiful GC and learn so much about its culture

  We made a half-day log trip with Simon. He informed us well, took us at noon from our residence and brought us back home in the evening. In his car... read more we felt safe and comfortable, even on adventurous roads, rocky, curvy or up through the clouds with only a few meters of sight.

As we wished, he brought us to the Petroglyphs at the archaeological site of Balos. Breathtaking rocks from Lava with ancient stone carvings by the Guanches (and sadly also some much younger legacies).

In the beautiful old town Aguimes we learned how to drink coffee the Canarian way in the sweet Bar
"El Populacho" and saw very special sculptures.

Then to Pico de las Nieves, the the highest peak of Gran Canaria, with a magic view on fabulous rocks and trees, in between clouds were floating, pure magic, like in a fairy tale.

Later to Roque Nublo, climbing by foot up the mountain exactly in time for sunset, watching it from above a sea of clouds. It was super exciting, much more than expected. It felt like we travelled to another planet.

Simon has a wide knowledge, he offers information and stories on Canarian history and present, mentality and culture, in an easy way. It´s a pleasure to chat with him. He is kind, attentive and knows when to give his customers some space and privacy.

Looking forward to traveling with Simon again!

  This is a must-do for any visitor to Gran Canaria. When other people who were supposed to join the tour had to cancel at the last minute due to the... read more flight ban from the UK, Simon went ahead with the tour as scheduled so it ended up being a private tour!! This was very much appreciated indeed as other tour operators would have cancelled the tour as they usually require a minimum number of participants, etc.

The tour itself was simply incredible. Seeing the sunset ABOVE the clouds from the highest mountain in Gran Canaria was truly magical and an experience that I will never forget! We also got to witness a once in a lifetime astronomical event, as well as sip coffee with alcohol in a local cafe with some locals (a truly authentic local experience)!

Thank you Simon for all your hard work. I am now back in the UK stuck in lockdown wishing I was back in the Canary Islands!
