Gran Canaria

  Simon greeted us in our hotel lobby and equipped us with wireless ear phones to enable us to walk around and hear his narrative on the move. His clear love... read more of the Canaries and his detailed knowledge of their history and culture shone through his clear commentary. The trip gave us exactly what we were looking for. A real sense of the island while moving around in it and enjoying great views. We stopped often to take short walks to absorb the often stunning views and understand many aspects of island life. Simons deep familiarity with all things Canarian provided a wonderful context for the sights we were seeing. It is not possible to gain the insights into Gran Canaria life and appreciate the links of the scenery to historic events and cultural objectives by self guiding with a rental car.
A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting day.

  Our tour guide Simon was amazing, he explains a lot about the gran canaria island and doesn't rush the tour.
Best part was the sunset at Roque Nublo with breath... read more taking views. Be sure to follow his tips of things to bring because in the same day you can really be in a 30 degrees climate and suddenly 5 degrees. Overall experience was with out a doubt money well spent.

  Simon has a great personality. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all matters concerning Gran Canaria. We went to a coffee place, explored the mountains and ended up eating some... read more fantastic sea food in Agaete. We had such a warm time with Simon I now regard his as a friend. Ours was a private tour of friends. Simon put together a tour to suit all of us from a 7 year old to a 64 year old (me). Look no further than Simon tours for an authentic Gran Canaria experience. PS great value too …

  One of the BEST tours we have ever taken! Simon and our driver Itor were awesome. So many stops, so much history and information. We loved every minute of the... read more day. From Pico de Las Nieves to Las Palmas Old Town, it was amazing. Plus we were able to see the Dunes as well. Definitely a jam packed day 9 hours but so worth it for the GREAT price. Lunch was AMAZING. So much fun, definitely recommend to anyone visiting.

  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.

  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!
