Gran Canaria

  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.

  I wholeheartedly recommend a trip with Mr. Szymon. Huge knowledge of the island and full professionalism. We took a trip entitled "Pearls of Gran Canaria". Super conditions and a very... read more intimate group Very attractive price for such a service ...

  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.

  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!

  A great all encompassing tour of the island. Simon is an expert and shares much of the islands geology and history. You see a great variety and learn much. Very... read more good

  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!

  Trip with Simon was a great thing. We have seen a lot of amazing spots. Seems like he knows everything about the island!

  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!

  Really enjoyed the tour, thank you to Simon and Javier for a wonderful day! It honestly felt like we learned everything there is to know about the island in those... read more 8 hours (of course, there is more to learn, but Simon did tell us A LOT) and got to see most of its highlights. The group was small, about 8 people, so it felt nice and cosy. Enjoyed tasting the Canarian coffee, beer, and some local delicacies. The only downside was the driver's driving style in the mountains - I understand we're on schedule, but it was honestly scary at times and felt like we were going too fast. Other than that, if you don't have a car, this is a great way to see much of Gran Canaria.
