Gran Canaria

  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!

  The whole day was great. Simon was a fantastic tour guide who gave us heaps of information about the island. The views at the different stop off points were amazing.... read more The local coffee included was great. Would definitely recommend!

  We booked the "Sunset at Roque Nublo Tour" in mid-April as it comprised exactly the locations in the center of Gran Canaria that we wanted to visit. Booking, payment and... read more communication with Simon were easy and already gave us a good impression of Simon himself. That`s why we decided to spontaneously ask him for a second, customized tour to the west coast of the island which he was happy to offer. Both tours were absolutely amazing and a dream for us as photograhers. Simon was a great entertainer and told us a lot about the island, the people and culture. For the customized tour he simply took our wishes of locations we would like to visit, added few spots and created the tour. On top, he was flexible enough to make little changes during the tour itself. Just name a spot or show him a picture and he will find out how to make your explorer dream come true. Really fantastic and highly recommended! …

  This is a brilliant trip suggested to us by Tobias at Discovery Tours in Puerto Mogan.

  The most informative and fun guided tour I’ve ever been to, only can recommend! Simon indeed knows EVERYTHING about the island and it’s locals. The cheese merchant the parfume museo... read more is a must to visit!

  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!
