What people are saying about San Sebastián de La Gomera

The trip was run in a great and very efficient way. Our driver Carlos was excellent. The pick up was right on time; it’s about 1:15 hr drive to the South from Puerto de la Cruz; there is a coffee stop before heading for the ferry. The ride to La Gomera is 50 min; there are several cafes, free wifi onboard. If the weather is good you may want to stay on the deck - we saw pilot whales on the return journey. The weather was brilliant and the island is absolutely scenic and gorgeous. We did several picture stops on top of local hills and learnt about island culture and life. One of highlights for me was the whistling demonstration… just wow! And ask locals for more - they will happily oblige. The walk in laurel forest was short but very beautiful, it’s a unique forest. Lunch was in a nice spot, however, the food was underwhelming. But they give unlimited wine. Visit to the capital was also interesting - Columbus landed here in 1492.

A really enjoyable day with an excellent guide right from the start to the end of the day. She provided lots of interesting information in her commentary in four languages. Good stops to admire the views and a very nice lunch in the National Park (one of the best we have had on a Canary Islands excursion). One of our party is a vegetarian and has a gluten intolerance the guide ensured that her requirements were catered for.

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.

Amazing one day trip with a great guide:) You will enjoy beautiful sceneries on your way. Ferry transfer was very convenient and all transport very well organised. I was picked up from my location and same day dropped off without problems. Definitely would recommend if you have a spare day on Tenerife Island.

Bad logistics planning for our pick up we were told 7:30am (to arrive at a bus top, not the hotel as advertised).. the bust came at 7:20am and left without us. We had to take a taxi €27 to somewhere ahead so they could pick us up. Such a bad start. The tour itself was lovely as we had an amazing guide
