Gran Canaria

  Simon is fantastic! We had a great day thanks to his excellent explanation of all the places we have visited. He made sure that the day was wonderful for us.... read more Really a recommendable tour!

  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!

  Brilliant day. Simon was prompt with pickup, right outside the hotel. There was only 4 of us in the tour, but even if fully booked, there would only be 8.... read more

Got to places a coach could never get to. Simon was very knowledgable constantly churning out interesting facts.

Would highly recommend this type of tour and especially Simon.

  Brilliant tour. Great to experience the beauty of the island away from the beaches and pools. Dramatic mountain vistas punctuated by a wide range of villages and towns that give... read more a real feel for the life and love residents have.
Simon is a real amiable host who shares the love he has for the place he calls home. Our driver (possibly a part time rally driver;-P) kept us feeling safe in the twisty mountain roads, top fella!
Make sure you follow advice and take the extra clothes as temperatures and weather can be vastly different 2000m above the sunny beaches.
The only criticism I have is towards the end of the day we tended to switch off from all the information Simon was sharing as so much is packed into the day. This is constructive criticism and the 5 star rating is fully deserved.
Nicole and I loved it!

  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.

  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 …

  Such a fun and informative tour! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn and see more about Gran Canaria

  So pleased we chose this tour with Simon.This being our first visit to the island, had our experience of Gran Canaria been confined to our stay at the hotel in... read more our resort then our holiday would have been the poorer for it. The trip was well organised and very insightful. We covered so much of the island with regular stops for refreshment and the opportunity to visit villages and see places of natural interest. The views were spectacular. Simon is relaxed, personable and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him and our fellow travellers. Would highly recommend.
