Beautiful island tour. Didn't know de la gomera was so beautiful. If you would go with your own car, you will still miss some highlights. And the excellent explanation of the guide. Unfortunately it was not in Dutch, as promised when booking. Only Spanish and English.
We were actually staying in La Gomera and did our bus tour from there. The guide was very good, there were only 4 of us who were English, so we sat at the front and she explained the history etc to us, then afterwards she used the microphone and did the rest in German. We stopped and had a walk through part of the forest to see all the views which was very nice. We then stopped at a very small pottery where you could purchase things if you so wished. Later we stopped at a restaurant for lunch (price not included in the trip) and had a look round the visitors centre. We then headed back to Valle Gran Rey where our trip started from.
Oldched thank you so much for your review and experience on the tour. Kind regards
Stunning views. Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. The actual trip and guide were amazing. I was disappointed however that just a couple of days beforehand I was emailed to say they wouldn't be picking us up and that we had to make our own way by bus to a hotel that we didn't know. Everyone else was picked up at their own hotels. This made it a little stressful beforehand.
Thank you very much for your review Naomi. The pick up handicap was because you was staying "out" of the main area of pick up. A part from that I'm really glad you had enjoyed the trip. Kind regards. Eliazar Rodríguez
La Gomera was a lovely island but the tour felt very much bus based. The longest stop was an aloe farm sales pitch which was a very disappointing waste of time when you are only visiting for a day it also wasnt on the itinerary when booking. The town of Hermigua look nice but missed as only the aloe farm was visited The forest stop in the national park was nice but far too short to go for much sightseeing. The photo stops were nice and the local whistling language display was very impressive. San Sebastian stop at the end was nice and there was time for a bit of sightseeing.
Hello James thank you for your review. If you want to spent more time on each stop, I recommend you a tour with a reduce group. I will be glad to help you. Kind regards Eliazar Rodriguez
Private tour!? What a scam. We where stuffed in a completely filled bus with 50 other people. Don’t book this, you pay extra and it’s absolutely not private. What a waist of money, time and energy.
Hi Sanne, you didn't pay any extra money, a private tour only for you cost three or four times more than what you have paid. A part from that as I wrote you on the email we already changed the word "Private tour" not to have more misunderstanding in the future. I'm sorry for that. Eliazar Rodriguez
This tour pretends to be a private tour which it is not!!!!! You pay some extra money, but you end up in a bus with 45 other people. There is nothing wrong with a big group tour, but if it is advertised as a private tour (especially in corona times) it is sad when you end up in a big bus packed with people. When confronting the agency, they told us that it is a missunderstanding and "private tour" doesn't mean "private tour". Please see the pictures attached and judge yourself 😉 Unbelievable and very sad!!!

The communication with them was wonderful! Eliazar was extremely responsive, helpful, and fast. I went on the La Gomera tour with them, although the tour was outsourced to a different company. The tour itself was great. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the driver was also very friendly. We had enough time to visit places, take photos, and enjoy some leisure time. We had some hickups regarding the pickup location. But luckily the guide was able to find me. Overall I'd still recommend the agent because of their good service. And La Gomera is definitely worth a visit!
Thank you very much Yu Yu for your review. Eliazar Rodríguez
