Beautiful half day trip around Gran Canaria

From the get go, our guide Israel made us feel relaxed and in safe hands. We had a really interesting trip ours the east side of the island, including La Caldera, a winery at Plaza Perdida and ending in Las Palmas city. Israel is really knowledgeable, has great English and a nice easy style. We loved our day out and would highly recommend it!
