The greatest people, transport and loving joyful experience
Book this. No regrets! Juan and Ines will give you so many surprises and if you've never explored inland gran canaria you'll be overwhelmed with the beauty and the culture
Operator response
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! ❤️ And we absolutely love your opening advice:
“Book this. No regrets!” 😄
We’re so happy that Juan and Inés managed to surprise you along the way and that you enjoyed discovering the beauty and culture of inland Gran Canaria. There is so much more to the island beyond the coast and the usual tourist routes, and sharing those places with our guests is what we love most.
Thank you also for mentioning the people, the transport and the joyful atmosphere. For us, the experience is about bringing all those elements together and making you feel part of the adventure from the very beginning.
Thank you for trusting Sky Rebels and for the wonderful recommendation. We hope to surprise you again someday! 🌴🚐❤️

Off the beaten path
The ultimate off the beaten path experience. Disclaimer: if you don't have reasonable fitness and agility it will be hard to enjoy this. We're in our mid 70's and found it challenging (in a positive way), but doable.
Inez and Jaun are energetic, enthusiastic, creative, knowledgeable. Within minutes of our pickup we knew we were in for a special day. To provide much more information would be a spoiler alert so will just attach a few pix to give a hint or two.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! ❤️ We absolutely love your description of the experience as the “ultimate off the beaten path” adventure.
It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we’re especially impressed that, even in your mid-70s, you embraced the more challenging moments with such a positive spirit! 🙌
We’re delighted that Inés and Juan made you feel from the very beginning that you were in for a special day. Our aim is always to take our guests beyond the usual tourist routes, share the stories and secrets of Gran Canaria, and leave enough surprises along the way to make the discovery part of the adventure.
And thank you for keeping the spoilers to a minimum! 😉 Some places are definitely better discovered in person.
It was wonderful having you with us. We hope the memories – and the photos – will bring you back to Gran Canaria for another adventure! 🌴🥾

Wonderful Day Exploring Gran Canaria’s Pretty Villages, History & Spectacular Mountains With Two Delightful Experienced
We are a mobile couple in our 70s and Ines & Juanjo made us very welcome and looked after us admirably all day. Juanjo was a safe driver navigating some narrow roads as we climbed. They were both very knowledgeable about Gran Canaria’s history of the island going back to the cave dwellers and how they lived. We visited an information centre detailing the lives of the cave dwellers and how the Europeans conquered the island and what came next. We visited the villages of Fataga & Tejeda, the latter being voted the prettiest in Spain, which it certainly is. There’s a wonderful shop selling lots of almond products made from the trees that abound in this area. We drove up to the highest point on the island with the most spectacular views which feels like the top of the world. We stopped at a picnic site and Ines produced some very tasty homemade tapas, wine and water and a digestive of honey rum which was delicious. We were only 4 on the trip so the minibus was very comfortable and all in all a very enjoyable day and well worth booking.

Amazing tour with amazing people
Second time with Juanjo and Ines after a tour with them back in 2019. Last time was great, this time was even better! They are an amazing pair who make you feel like one of their family. They are so knowledgable and informative. Ines is a fantastic cook making lunch an absolute highlight. Juanjo ask drives brilliantly on roads you would not want to drive yourself.
We did the UNESCO heritage tour and would 100% recommend it - so interesting visiting a range of historic and current cave dwellings against the backdrop of the incredible Gran Canaria scenery.
We were a multi generational family ranging from our 12 year old daughter to her grandparents in their 70s. All of us were completely engaged by the day. And physically it was not too challenging.
(And if you have issues with heights do trust Ines that it’s not as bad as it looks at the Fortress and persevere - it’s not as bad as it looks.)

An Absolute Must when visiting Gran Canaria!
We recently completed this tour of Gran Canaria with Sky Rebels and cannot rate it highly enough. You may think it is a little expensive but, trust me, it really isn’t. You will have a maximum of six people and three guides. Juanjo who is an excellent driver, Inez an excellent guide and Lupita who is, well……Lupita! You will drive on roads that are not usually accessible by larger vehicles, the scenery is mind blowingly spectacular but you are completely safe in the expert hands of Juanjo. What makes this tour special and different to the others is not only the areas visited but also the fabulous history and myths that you will learn. Most are, undoubtedly, true and some you will wish were true! Juan and Inez will introduce you to some of the ancient Gods of Gran Canaria, you will appeal to the sun god Magec and, who knows, some magic may happen! Last, but not least, you will enjoy a delicious lunch in the open air of Canarian specialities prepared with love by Inez and accompanied by your choice of beverages.
Juan and Inez (and Lupita!) are not only the nicest people you could hope to meet but are also local Canarians whose love and enthusiasm for their islands shines through.
Operator response
Thank you very much Steve & Gloria for your amazing words, and for sharing a great day with us.
We hope to see you bakc soon!
