Itinerary
Our first beauty is a small black volcanic sand beach surrounded by a charming small town. Feel the tranquility of the locals and discover the uniqueness of the cave houses. This place is not found by searching, but by you.
Dicover emblematic buildings and history in the main square of the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and get unique tricks and tips for your beautiful photographs. On this tour we only visit the square and its surroundings, not the entire old town!
Admire the religious center of Gran Canaria, the town of Teror. The basilica houses the island's patron saint. Here we will also find one of the most beautiful streets in Gran Canaria. The traditional Canarian wooden balconies are particularly impressive. A short walk through the romantic streets will surely help you to experience the peaceful and stress-free life of the Canarian people.
We drive to the geographical center of the island. The magnificent view makes us feel as if we are floating between the mountains of the island.
Following our drive we will make a stop at this viewpoint. If we have good weather we can enjoy a "little" surprise here, the highest peak in Spain.
Walking above the clouds? Explore the highest point of Gran Canaria. The views from the peak are stunning! In clear weather the Teide on Tenerife is clearly visible (the highest peak in Spain), as are many peaks on Gran Canaria itself, for example the Roque Nublo.
Visit the 7th highlight of the tour: Roque Nublo (no hike). One of Gran Canaria’s most iconic sights. Roque Nublo is usually a hiking adventure — but on this tour, we DO NOT hike up! We stop at a stunning viewpoint near the monument, so you can soak up the legendary rock formation, crisp mountain air, and breathtaking views with zero effort. Big wow-factor. Zero climbing. No sweat required.

Today I had the pleasure of exploring Gran Canaria with Estefanía and László, experiencing the island through the eyes of locals. We spent almost 9 hours together, yet it felt as if we had known each other for much longer. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and truly family-like. Estefanía is a fantastic driver, and I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Together with László, they created an unforgettable experience filled with genuine hospitality, interesting stories, and a real passion for their island. We visited some of the most beautiful landscapes in Gran Canaria, discovered hidden gems that we would never have found on our own, and enjoyed a wonderful picnic with delicious local food. The mysterious “secret box” added a unique and memorable touch to the day. This tour is not just beautiful—it is authentic, personal, and heartfelt. It gives you the chance to experience the real Gran Canaria, far away from the usual tourist routes. Thank you both for the amazing work you do! If I ever return to Gran Canaria, I will definitely join another one of your tours. And a special thank you for the beautiful photographs—they will always bring back memories of this wonderful day. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience on the island! ❤️🌴📸☀️

Until then, we’ll be happy knowing that these memories and photographs will always remind you of this beautiful day. ❤️🌴 Greetings from Gran Canaria Estefanía & László
This tour was fantastic, although the island of Gran Canaria has no real big secrets for me anymore I enjoyed this day very much, it just felt like a day out with friends, we passed the most beautiful places, there was no hurry at all and we were pampered with a nice lunch and another special surprise that came out of the special suitcase, ha ha ha ...now I finally know what's in that suitcase, great! The organization of these two lovely people, nothing but praise on my part, I highly recommend this tour and when I get back there I definitely want to go back for a day with them. Also received a package with very nice pictures of our special day, Estefania and Laszlo you are TOP! We will definitely see each other again! Kiss and hug from Belgium ❤️
It was a great round trip The picnic was a hit!!!!!
I am full of praise for this day tour in a small group and I don't know where to start. I had contact in advance via email and WhatsApp, completely uncomplicated. Punctual pick-up at the property and after the end of the tour also brought back there. The question of László (he speaks English and German in addition to his national language) whether we all agree with the DU made this day seem like a trip with friends. The sympathetic and warm manner of him and his wife Estefanía (she speaks Spanish as well as English in addition to her national language) also contributed to this. László was an excellent guide, he knew a lot about the island, while driving he showed us pictures and small explanatory videos on his tablet. He gave tips on how to photograph one or the other of the subjects better. Estefanía steered the van safely and calmly through the winding mountains, at no moment did I feel uncomfortable. One of the highlights of this tour was the tapas picnic, prepared with a lot of love. I don't want to tell you more about it, there should be a little bit of tension for those who want to book this tour... On this tour we hardly met other tourists, which also contributed to a very relaxed, quiet and unforgettable day. To top it off, a very special song was played on the way back, but I won't tell you anything about it. I went on two more trips with Estefanía and László in the 14 days of my stay, which inspired me as much as this one. Unfortunately, at one point in the mountains, we had some bad luck, because when we wanted to take a closer look at the Roque Nublo and his companions, he hid in the clouds. László showed us on his phone what we should have seen, a very brilliant idea. Otherwise, the sun and clouds of fog alternated, which also had its charm. Also on the "Wild Coast & Sunset Tour" she hid behind the clouds, but later we were presented with a beautiful red cloud sky. In any case, the tours are fully recommended.
we loved absolutely everything. the picnic had an authentic vibe. Laszlo and Stefanija made the day unforgettable
Hi Filips, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you loved the authentic picnic experience. It was a pleasure sharing this special day with you, and we hope to welcome you again soon! Greetings from Gran Canaria Estefanía & László
Wonderful day exploring Gran Canaria seeing the 7 Highlights on a small group tour. Excellent tapas lunch provided and as we contacted the helpful tour company they were able to accommodate one of us being Gluten Free which was greatly appreciated. The guides were attentive and very informative throughout the tour. We would highly recommend this tour and will try one of their other tours in the future.
Hi Neil, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Gran Canaria with us and that the small details, including the gluten-free tapas lunch, made your experience even better. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you again on another island adventure in the future! 😊 Greetings from Las Palmas Estefanía & László
Great tour with Lazllo and Estefania. We would love to explore the rest of the island with you next time. You guys have done such a great job. Perfectly picked up at the ship and time flew by. He Canary coffee was a treat. And thank you again for only doing the tour with 4 people. That's not a given.
Family with 2 adolescents -> Absolutely worth it. With up to 7 people, small scale and personal island tour. Laszlo passionately tells his stories and takes all the time necessary. We enjoyed the tapas picnic, the surroundings and the enthusiasm of Laszlo! Tip, book the tour directly. Note: With young children, it's a long sit.
Very nice tour. Delicious tapas.
Was great 👌 👍 thanks again for a nice day!
