Staying for business in Las Palmas with my wife, we chose this excursion because we wanted to have a completely private visit. At 9:00 a.m. Fabien was in front of our hotel. As we had more time available, Fabien then suggested that we add the visit to Agaete and its famous natural swimming pools. We had a wonderful day, Fabien knows how to manage time, without ever rushing us. The meal in the pretty village of Firgas was delicious, it is an original choice to taste dishes with watercress. He made many stops to allow us to take nice photos. He has a lot of humor and knows how to put people at ease. Throughout the day, he took our photos and the next day he sent everything to us as promised. To do again. Thank you so much. Paul and Annick.

This is the first personalised tour we've booked and as slightly reserved Brits we didn't know what to expect! We shouldn't have worried as from the booking to the pickup Fabian ensured all was planned for, and when he dropped us back at the hotel we felt we were leaving a friend. Fabian seamlessly choreographed the day, showing us sights we would never have seen whilst keeping us entertained with interesting facts and seeking out the best photo opportunities. Over lunch (the best watercress feast we've ever had) we asked why Jane chose his company for her TV series. He answered "he didn't know". Well, we do, quite simply she'd be hard pushed to find another tour company and guide so passionate about the island he lives on. Fabian is a true expert in his field and we had a fabulous time. Thanks for the photos, the restaurant recommendations and for being a star in helping us after the tour with things.

This Tour is a fantastic choice if you stay only 1 day in Las Palmas. (Shore excursion on a cruise). We had a wonderful time with Fabien, so friendly! We saw places we would have never have found without him. The lunch with watercress in Firgas was amazing. Thank you for this great day! Paul and Janet.
