The tour with Basso from Getholiday was really breathtakingly beautiful. As agreed, my girlfriend and I were picked up punctually at the meeting point with the brand new (totally comfortable) V-Class and started our tour with the crossing to La Gomera. Basso got us the tickets. There were only four of us in total, which made the tour very familiar and individual. Basso showed us fascinating views from hidden vantage points where he took photos of us, showed us a traditional farmhouse and impressed us with his knowledge of the history of La Gomera with its volcanoes and unique biospheres. Definitely a strong recommendation for travelers with a good knowledge of English who want to see and learn a lot about the island in a small group and in a fairly short time! We would definitely book a tour with Basso again at any time.

It was the best guided tour experience in my life. The guide was an incredibly friendly person, who talked fluently on different languages and gently took care for us. The bus was comfortable, the tour was precisely planned with a lot of sightseeing. Joyful! My advice for the restaurant: pick local goat cheese, it is delicious.

We hebben enorm genoten van onze excursie naar La Gomera dank zij onze zeer ervaren en sympathieke gids Basso. Naast een goede chauffeur zijnde, wist hij ons veel bij te brengen betreffend fauna, flora, vulkanen, plaatselijke gewoonten en nog zoveel meer van het eiland. Leerzaam en verrijkend en leuk op de ferry.

Just beautiful! Don't forget to take a light jacket with you.

Very beautiful sights, different from Tenerife island.
