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.

  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.

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

  Simply go and enjoy.
You will get the answer why Gran Canaria 🙂
What you see, feel, hear or taste ...they are all yours.

  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 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!

  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!
