Simon has a great personality. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all matters concerning Gran Canaria. We went to a coffee place, explored the mountains and ended up eating some fantastic sea food in Agaete. We had such a warm time with Simon I now regard his as a friend. Ours was a private tour of friends. Simon put together a tour to suit all of us from a 7 year old to a 64 year old (me). Look no further than Simon tours for an authentic Gran Canaria experience.

This amazing route goes through the undiscovered part of Gran Canaria. A trip unlike any other. We will take you to places that are not mentioned in the guides. We will show how much truth is in the saying that Gran Canaria is a miniature continent. Our route goes today through Aguimes - former capital of sugar cane region and Tobas De Colores Del Barranco De Las Vacas - amazing monument shaped by power of nature. Our guide will walk you to the edge of Caldera de los Marteles - former volcanic crater and later will drive you to the highest peak - Pico de las Nieves. By the end of the day, we will climb Roque Nublo together to admire the sunset. You will feel the power of this place full of legends and Guanche stories.

I went on the Lazy Wednesday tour of Gran Canaria in February. I booked it at the tourist information place in Santa Catalina park Las Palmas. I spent a week in Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) and this trip was easily the most fun, informative, and interesting thing I did. And it was inexpensive. Not only did we go to many scenic places (the whole island), but the tour guide Pavel is superb. He's well prepared so you don't waste your time - he took meal orders on the bus and phoned them in, and even served meals in the restaurant to speed things up. And he's really entertaining and informative, there are no times when you just sit on the bus and do nothing. The tour is in English and Spanish, and one smart thing he does is switch between them frequently so you're never waiting long for the English part (Spanish is not one of the languages I speak). There are frequent stops so you never spend a long time on the bus. The roads and buses are such that there's no way I could have done the trip by myself, and thankfully I didn't. Pavel should give tour guide lessons on how to do a great job, it's rare that one finds a guide of his talent. I also took a day tour of Tenerife, and although it wasn't bad, the guide wasn't nearly as good - he droned on and on in one language before switching and he seemed bored. It was a good contrast between the two day-trips. If you can only do one, take the Lazy Wednesday one. This tour is a bargain at double the price, you won't regret going.

Great experience. Host ensured we had enough time at each stop, constantly kept us engaged. Never made us feel rushed. A really pleasant experience, nothing too taxing but loads to see and a very well thought out route, stayed fluid depending on weather too.
