    Great, beautiful and well-organized excursion, nice tour guide, good bus driver, lots of information and nice stops. Only the morning pick-up route took a long time for us, therefore a star deduction. The pick-up time for us was 7:20 a.m., after that we checked out many hotels and finally got on the ferry at 9:30 a.m. On the way home, the return transport was better organized.

    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.

    This tour was exactly as sold. If you can put up with the big bus of people and quick stops, it is really great. The guide, Antonio, was great and I enjoyed listening to the 3 languages. The lunch (with wine, no coffee) was perfect. Overall, the tour is a great value and perfect was to get a quick taste of La Gomera. Getting on and off the ferries takes a bit of patience, but was fine.
