A wonderful day filled with great vibes!
We had an amazing day. Very early pickup right at daybreak at the port (our cruise ship docked at 7:00 AM). We then visited Arucas, followed by Teror and Firgas, where we had lunch at a fantastic, authentic local restaurant. The explanations were super clear, and the mood was light and joyful. We got to see things we never would have been able to see on a large tour bus. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Dear Francis, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience on Tripadvisor. One of the great advantages of a private tour is the flexibility to explore places that large tour buses simply cannot access, allowing for a more authentic and personal experience of the island. I am very happy that this made your day even more special. I am also pleased that you enjoyed the local restaurant and appreciated the explanations throughout the tour. My goal is always to combine interesting insights, beautiful scenery and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere so that guests can experience the real Gran Canaria. Thank you again for your kind words. I hope you have wonderful memories of the island and that one day we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Gran Canaria. Warm regards, Fabien

A perfect excursion in every way.
Staying for business in Las Palmas with my wife, we chose this excursion because we wanted to have a completely private visit. At 9:00 a.m. Fabien was in front of our hotel. As we had more time available, Fabien then suggested that we add the visit to Agaete and its famous natural swimming pools. We had a wonderful day, Fabien knows how to manage time, without ever rushing us. The meal in the pretty village of Firgas was delicious, it is an original choice to taste dishes with watercress. He made many stops to allow us to take nice photos. He has a lot of humor and knows how to put people at ease. Throughout the day, he took our photos and the next day he sent everything to us as promised. To do again. Thank you so much. Paul and Annick.
Response from the operator: Chers Annick et Paul, Merci beaucoup pour avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience d’excursion avec la communauté de voyageurs Tripadvisor.

The real reason Jane Mcdonald chose this tour...
This is the first personalised tour we've booked and as slightly reserved Brits we didn't know what to expect! We shouldn't have worried as from the booking to the pickup Fabian ensured all was planned for, and when he dropped us back at the hotel we felt we were leaving a friend. Fabian seamlessly choreographed the day, showing us sights we would never have seen whilst keeping us entertained with interesting facts and seeking out the best photo opportunities. Over lunch (the best watercress feast we've ever had) we asked why Jane chose his company for her TV series. He answered "he didn't know". Well, we do, quite simply she'd be hard pushed to find another tour company and guide so passionate about the island he lives on. Fabian is a true expert in his field and we had a fabulous time. Thanks for the photos, the restaurant recommendations and for being a star in helping us after the tour with things.

Great Tour from Las Palmas
This Tour is a fantastic choice if you stay only 1 day in Las Palmas. (Shore excursion on a cruise). We had a wonderful time with Fabien, so friendly! We saw places we would have never have found without him. The lunch with watercress in Firgas was amazing. Thank you for this great day! Paul and Janet.
Response from the operator: Dear Paul, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review! Thank you for choosing Gran Canaria Taylored Tours. We are truly happy that you enjoyed this shore excursion with us. We didn’t have lots of time but we made it!

Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas cost?
+
Prices start at $311 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 Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas?
+
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 Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas?
+
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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas 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 Private Tour from Port of Las Palmas to Arucas Teror and Firgas?
+

+
