    Breath taking

    Very informative tour, there’s breaks to get souvenirs, drinks, try canarian cuisine and treats, take amazing photos! Lunch isn’t included in the price but cost us €15.00 a head for 3 course meal and drinks (2026). They offer veggie and you can ask for vegan as well as meat n fish options, as a vegan this was very helpful. No eating or drinking on the coach so don’t buy snacks like we did, again this wasn’t advertised and neither was lunch as an option which would have been good to know! The guide was excellent and our coach driver took the mountain on and won! Breathtaking views and an awesome day, also great if you need a day away from the sun Learnt a lot about the island and wished we would have done this earlier in our trip Family as well as couples were on board and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. It’s a long day but it didn’t feel like it! Get your cameras ready, enjoy local produce and meet incredible islanders

    Lovely!

    Great tour guide! Tour in 4 languages! Very informative and a great overall view of the Island! Not for the faint of heart if mountain roads aren't your thing but we loved it!! The all inclusive lunch for 15 Euros though.... give that a miss.... you get what you pay for. Other than that, great tour!

    Great tour

    If you're afraid of heights don't do it; if you can't cope with lots of bendy mountain roads don't do it; if you love an adventure with lots of beautiful scenery then this is for you. I can't praise the coach driver highly enough - fantastic driving! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke many languages.

    Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.

    How much does Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $53 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.

    Is Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ, Guided tour of the Banana World. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria?

    +

    Included: Pick up/drop off in the areas mentioned; and Professional Guide. Not included: Pick up/drop off outside designated areas; and Lunch and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 288 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria?

    +

    Is Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Guided tour: Discover Gran Canaria if the weather is bad?
