    Lovely tour with a knowledgeable guide.

    Picked up on time and great tour around the old town, Santa Catalina. Interesting visit to the volcanic crater and the botanical gardens too.

    Very expensive bus drive to Las Palmas

    If you look for bus drive to overpay about 30 euros you found a right place. Yesterday we participate excursion. The guide and company didn't get nessesary information so when we came to Botanical Garden we found closed parking for buses (but pedestrian entrance open to sightseeing) still they have decided to skip this point of the trip(the only reason why we booked this trip and payed 70 euro) instead of that we had more time in capitol to wander alone without any guide or interesting historical facts. I recommend to find local bus to Las Palmas, to get same experience cost about 2.5 euro. In Vulcano area you get 10 min not 1 hour as stated. Unfortunately company didn't feel like compensate a bit of cost for destroyed trip and not fulfilled program. Poor handling of customers. Big no.

    Worth the trip!

    Would recommend the trip. Good guide who alternated between English, Spanish, (another language, sorry cannot remember) to accomodate all parties that were there. We had plenty of time at each location. Would actually do the tour again, next time i go to GC.

    Do not book this tour, save your time and money. Do a better tour.

    Don't book this tour. The tour operator cancelled our booking the night before our tour, saying they could not accommodate due to capacity issues. We had booked this trip a month before and for them to say this the night before indicates they either didn't bother doing the tour or took a different group that booked last minute instead. Absolute time wasters AVOID. Those looking for a similar tour can find a good one we found that has more than a handful of reviews like this one does, that other tour was great, and they laughed about us booking this tour originally as the tour guide here is known for being useless.

    Too much time spent on bus, content and sites were not interesting or impressive.

    Too much time spent on bus, content and sites were not interesting or impressive. It was confusing with 4 different languages to cover. Botanical Garden was disappointing with most of plants and flowers can be seen through out the island. This was not really a guided tour since we were dropped off and to roam around without much suggestion or info. We do not recommend this tour.

    Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 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 Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings?

    +

    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 Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings?

    +

    Around 12 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings 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, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. 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 Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings?

    +

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

    Does Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 217 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Las Palmas City Tour and Surroundings 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.
