Gran Canaria

  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!

  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!

  Can highly recommend this tour and Simon as a tour guide. We booked this for the first day of our holiday to give us a feel for the island and... read more we were not disappointed. You see some beautiful sights and learn a lot about what a really interesting island Gran Canaria is. As other people have mentioned, you definitely need to take a jacket or jumper as the higher up the mountain you go the colder it gets and we were in the clouds, so it was wet and cold.
