Barranco de las Vacas, caves & village by Sky Rebels local guides





Description
First of all, please let us introduce ourselves: we are Inés & Juanjo, 2 real local guides in Gran Canaria, founders of the Sky Rebels company in 2013. With us, you are going to discover and experience the beauty of this island with real "local eyes". You will experience a travel in time in which you will learn about our history, culture and traditions, exploring incredible locations out of the crowds. You will discover the spectacular Barranco de las Vacas, where hundreds of years ago water flowed in unimaginable ways, sculpting its walls in such a way that today it looks like a scene from a distant planet. We will visit and tell you the secrets of a surprising hidden cave, excavated by the first inhabitants of the island. This secret place is not in the tourist guides, so get ready to discover this amazing place. And we will finish with a visit to a cute hamlet. You will meet genuine local villagers and understand why Gran Canaria is one of the friendliest places in the World.

Funny and knowledgeable tour
Very disappointing experience!! We booked an activity. Subsequently, Sky Rebels itself contacted us to request the change of the date of the activity. We accepted this amendment in good faith to help them. On the day of the activity, when we tried to resolve a situation related to this change, the response was extremely unprofessional. There was no flexibility, they refused to wait for us and the telephone service was not friendly. After that, we requested the refund directly to the company, but we never got any response to our messages. We also filed a complaint with GetYourGuide, providing evidence that the date change was requested by Sky Rebels itself, but the refund was refused. What most disappointed us was the lack of communication, professionalism and willingness to find a solution to a problem that originated in an amendment requested by the company itself. Don't buy anything to this company!!! I just don't give 0 stars because it's not possible! We have been 1 month without answers and with less than 148€!!!
Esta avaliação refere-se a uma reclamação que apresentou contra a GetYourGuide. O dinheiro a que alega ter direito deve ser reclamado junto daquela plataforma, e não connosco. No entanto, uma vez que insiste em escrever avaliações negativas nos nossos perfis públicos, dedicaremos o nosso tempo para provar que está a mentir. Vamos começar pela resposta rápida: - No dia da atividade, não compareceu no ponto de encontro combinado à hora combinada. Posteriormente, tentou obter um reembolso da GetYourGuide, alegando que não o tínhamos informado sobre a alteração, o que não é verdade. Também não é verdade que tenha tentado resolver o problema; fomos nós que tivemos de entrar em contacto consigo para saber por que razão não tinha comparecido. Vamos aos detalhes: 1- No dia em que a atividade estava originalmente planeada, o Papa tinha também uma visita agendada à ilha, o que significava que as estradas estavam fechadas, pelo que não pudemos realizar o passeio. Notificámo-lo dessa situação e oferecemos duas datas alternativas. Aceitou uma das opções e enviámos-lhe de imediato um e-mail de confirmação com a nova data (10 dias antes da excursão). No dia anterior à excursão, enviámos um e-mail de lembrete com o horário de embarque, a previsão meteorológica e as recomendações para a visita. No dia da excursão, enquanto aguardávamos o embarque, enviámos e-mails, mensagens SMS e mensagens de WhatsApp. Finalmente, atendeste a nossa chamada (fomos nós que ligámos; não estavas a tentar resolver nenhum problema) com a frase: "Esqueci-me, acabei de acordar"... Que tal esta história da falta de comunicação? Bem, isso é outra história. Além disso, na reclamação que apresentou, alegou que não o informámos sobre a mudança com antecedência suficiente e que "se tinha esquecido". Depois, alegou que, quando ligámos, estava a caminho do ponto de encontro... Não só, mas numa conversa posterior, admitiu que, de facto, o tínhamos notificado com antecedência. Muitas contradições. 2- Se não estava satisfeito com a alteração da data, poderia ter cancelado a atividade; a GetYourGuide permite cancelamentos até 24 horas de antecedência... pelo que a sua boa-fé também não é propriamente genuína. O facto de nos ter ameaçado processar-nos e até tentado chantagear-nos dizendo "o problema será resolvido se lhe dermos um reembolso" também não parece ser um ato de boa-fé. 3- Fez a sua reserva através da GetYourGuide, não diretamente com a nossa empresa. A GetYourGuide é uma revendedora e é a empresa que recebe o pagamento, que depois nos reembolsa (excepto a comissão de 30%, recorde-se). Isto significa que qualquer reclamação que queira fazer deve ser feita à GetYourGuide, e não a nós. 4- Esta plataforma negou o seu reembolso e também apagou o comentário que lá deixou, porque comprovámos que de facto comunicámos consigo, que todo o processo foi devidamente registado e que foram vocês que não compareceram à atividade. Assim, presumimos que esta "falta de comunicação, profissionalismo e disponibilidade para encontrar uma solução" se refere ao atendimento que recebeu através da GetYourGuide e que não é da nossa responsabilidade. A sua comunicação com a GetYourGuide não é da nossa responsabilidade. Em conclusão: Na Sky Rebels, lidamos sempre com todas as questões possíveis com comunicação e eficiência. Não nos responsabilizamos por comunicações ou reclamações feitas através de revendedores. Lamentamos que se tenha "esquecido" da sua excursão agendada, mesmo após lhe termos enviado um lembrete no dia anterior. Atenciosamente, Sky Rebels
Inés & Juanjo, I just want to thank this couple who work with passion. The experience with them was, at times, surreal: I thought I was taking part in a guided tour, but instead they gave us a dream. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll just leave it at thanking them.A Dream Beyond a Guided Tour
We had an absolutely fantastic morning trip with Sky Rebels Company, run by the wonderful Ines and Juan. From start to finish, the experience exceeded all expectations. They took us to beautiful, off-the-beaten-track locations that we would never have discovered on our own, which made the trip feel really special and unique. Both Ines and Juan were incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. They shared interesting insights throughout, which added so much depth to the experience. The transport was also very comfortable, making the whole journey relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, it was a brilliantly organised trip with a personal touch. I would highly recommend Sky Rebels Company to anyone looking for something a little different and truly memorable.
super fantastic guides, lots of explanations about the island, super fun entertainment along the way, we had a fantastic time, very nice that they start the tour early in the morning, now we were alone in the gorge,
Fantastic experience!! The guides were very prepared and were able to include the partecipants with fun tricks and in-depth explanations: it’s clear the passion and effort they put in this activity. Breathtaking views; everything was perfect!
Very nice trip with a lot of knowledge sharing. Ines and Juanjo are lovely and it's easy to tell they enjoy what they're doing.
I highly recommend it if you want to avoid the tourist crowds and see the hidden gems of the island, as well as gain knowledge about the island's history, the daily life of the locals, etc.
What a fantastic trip with Ines and Juanjo (and of course Lupita😊) you can really notice that they are locals with an in-depth knowledge mixed with a lot of humor😊we liked that we were only a small group of 6 people, it makes it much more intense, and really nice to see these beautiful places without a lot of tourists. Can highly recommend Sky Rebels👍 Lone & Henrik, Denmark
We were on 2 trips: Barranco de las Vasas and Roque Nublo and both were Interesting and fantastic to experience. Very inclusive and knowledgeable guides with super humor.
