    Excellent value for money,the tour of Las Palmas old town was just long enough, great shopping centre so plenty of walking involved. It was a relatively small group but the tour guide did brilliantly translating between English, German, Dutch and Polish in enough time for people to see what he was talking about

    Firstly, we were the only pick up that wasn’t from our hotel. The journey was a lot longer than I anticipated having had to pick up outwith Puerto Rico. Due to delays at other pick ups time at the old town was cut short which was extremely disappointing. As for the shopping centre, was poor, we drove past a better one. The tour guide was rather passive aggressive. The trip is worth nowhere near the £27pp we paid.

    My mother fell down on the trip and the tour guide did not care about her, did not offer her first aid, did not even bother to check on her to see if she was okay

    Guide and driver excellent. Gave us a lot of interesting information on the way to the old town. Old town visit was enjoyable. Managed to find a nice place for coffee etc. we should have left more time to explore the Christopher Columbus museum which was fascinating. Trip to shopping centre was a waste of time , in a large out of town complex., and not the sort of shops we were expecting. Choice of somewhere to eat disappointing.
