It’s a nice excursion to the botanical garden but it’s kind of boring. Our tour guide was very nice but I find it that the people are not engaging or we we lose interest on what ever she was saying maybe because there were three languages that she has to switch .
We were on the road a whole day from 8am to 6pm. Half the time we were on the bus collecting the passengers. Overall, there was far too little time to see something on site. 15 minutes stop at the volcano, 1 hour about each botanical garden and in Las Palmas old town (the time was just enough to eat) and two hours alternatively aquarium or shopping center. Unfortunately, we haven't seen much.
Nice trip with beautiful sights. Unfortunately, the botanical garden was closed due to the storm.
We did the bandama crater tour without a guide because we stayed in hotel near it. It is a very nice walk with lots of variety and beautiful views. Both towards the crater and the other side. Definitely worth it and it is about 3.5km but with climbing and descending. So you'll take a little longer
It is a good tour, good value for money if you want a taster of Gran Canaria. The only thing I will also say is that the jardin botanical gardens could be longer than 45mins as it is a huge garden.
Great communication with the tour operator and the tour was effective and organized. It is for those that want to visit the botanical garden, bandama crater and las Palmas/Vagueta. It was great to see the crater and botanical garden. The free time in Vagueta was abit short to visit a museum, but we went around the town and took a coffee. For free time we went to see Playa de las canteras and Las Arenas shopping mall others went for the Acuario Poema del mar.
Excursion to an extinct volcano, the botanical garden and the historic district of Las Palmas (La Vegueta) As an option also a visit to the aquarium Poema del Mar, this is highly recommended. The Guide gave clear explanations ( 3 languages Spanish, English and German) Transport by luxury coach with a skilled and friendly driver.
It was amazing how everything was well organized. You don’t have to worry about anything and the information is in german, english and spanish.
The tour guide was great, very informative & funny. Views amazing & botanical gardens beautiful. Would definitely recommend this trip.
Amazing views, good driver and enough free time. Would've liked the option to go into the town for shopping instead of the mall with shops that are familiar. And have the option to do both (shopping and the aquarium). Overall a nice day
