    Great old town tour

    The tour with Israel was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable about the city and history. He even carried some pictures to help tell the story. He was very patient with us, answering all of our questions and listening to our anecdotes. The tour was a decent length and ended at a fun public market with a wine and cheese testing. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Dear Michael, Thanks for your review and for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear you liked and enjoyed the tour, hope that when you will remember that day you'll have a great memory of it. Wish you a great time around the Canaries!

    Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 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: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour?

    +

    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: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour 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: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Walking tour; and Snacks. Not included: Medical or personal expenses; Souvenirs; Gratuities; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour?

    +

    Meeting point entrance of the Guiniguada Theatre. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in 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 Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Las Palmas: Tapas, Old Town and Historic Places Private Tour if the weather is bad?
