We made a well-timed stop around 2 PM to enjoy some delicious tapas, which was a lovely break. László also shared some great tips for taking beautiful photos, which added a fun and creative touch to the day. We visited 7 stunning locations across Gran Canaria — places we never would have been able to reach on our own in such a short time. Thank you both for making the day so…”

Gran Canaria highlights tour from Maspalomas with volcanic viewpoints at Roque Nublo and Caldera de Bandama, plus optional village lunch.

“The tour was interesting. Varied and very informative. Particularly enjoyed the ecology of the local environments. However it felt pushy when we were told not to buy from a snack vendor. This is our choice and was clearly because we were going to a restaurant where we felt coerced into buying food. We were ushered in to sit down and order from the menu. We just had a drink. Fabio should have just dropped us off and said we can go in if we like.”
