History and culture of the island(s) and its inhabitants, food, biodiversity, Pavel's knowledge seems endless, all that in a friendly and funny way. One of the highlights of my two weeks stay here in Gran Canaria. A must to do ... with Pavel of course :-)Kevin_G

The tour was beautiful, Pavel was really great, he guide us with stories about all the places we have vizited during the entire trip. It is an excelent start of a vacation in Canary Islands. We saw a lot of nice things, from small rural villages, that look like a filmset, to a part of the jungle and a coffee and wine plantation. We ate in a very good local restaurant, and you have to ask for desert Polvito, it’s amazing! The scenery is wonderful and after seeing all the island, I think the north of the island is much nicer than the over-crowded touristic south. I highly recomend this tour.Flynn_E

This tour was a full day out (9am - 6pm) and was a very well, passionately put together tour to squeeze the "most beautiful parts of Gran Canaria into one day". The guide was very helpful, sending me directions as I was traveling from the opposite side of the Island where I was on holiday. The tour guide was engaging and interesting and seemed to actually care about everyone on the tour and their experience. There were amazing photo opportunities, mixed with interesting knowledge and history behind the places were visited and passed. Highly recommend this tour, 100% worth every penny.Pioneer636232

He really wants everybody to be happy and satisfied and even in a difficult situation (one of us got lost) he didn't lose his smile. This is really a gift. The tour itself was so interesting and beautiful, we would recommend it to people of all ages! You really get an idea of Gran Canaria - the nature, the culture and the people living there. The tour is perfectly organized so you can be sure you will have a lot of fun. It's absolutely worth the money! Thank you Pavel, Silke & Tayfun
