“Maria was OUTSTANDING!!! She managed a group of half English speaking (with one person in an electric wheelchair) the other half Spanish speaking people with ease by occupying one half of the group with a visit or task whilst speaking to the other half then swapping over to do the same with the second group. She delivered in excellent English very interesting information with no standing around waiting. She also was able to answer any questions asked of her and encouraged people to ask questions. She had a great sense of humour and was very aware of the needs of all members of the group. I thoroughly recommend this walking…”

Private 3-hour Bandama caldera and botanic gardens tour from Las Palmas, with Old Town time and optional wine tasting.
“Artemis was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny. We opted for pick up at cruise port and he told us a meet spot and then met us there personally. We didn't have any problems with communication at all. He was also very willing to adapt the tour to us. We enjoyed seeing the botanical garden and the caldera. I wish that we could have had more time in the Old City and the markets. However, I think if I had asked beforehand that he would have been glad to accommodate us. I would highly recommend taking this tour!”
