    Absolutely not recommended

    Have already done other tours. This one was simply bad. Teror is a nice village with 1 short street. The market offers nothing that you cannot find everywhere. Only more expensive. San Mateo is really ugly and a few fruit stands and bread, which all sell the same thing. Just extremely disappointed. Departure and location were unfortunately also described incorrectly on TripAdvisor. On-site the tour would have also been a bit cheaper.

    Misleading!

    Can't give a review as we were not picked up! We spoke to the guide on our Friday tour who said he would pick us up at the same place (our hotel) and the same time. When he failed to arrive I tried to ring him, but his mobile was not accepting calls. I made a complaint to TUI, who said that I couldn't get a refund as we had failed to arrive! Please check your tickets for the pickup location and don't rely on the guide!

    Try some local honey, banana marmalade, almond delicacies and pastres

    Sunday street market (Mercadillo de Teror) is definitely worth a visit. Many visitors appreciate the handcrafted products produced in Teror. I would recommend to try some local candied hibiscus flowers and aloe vera which are landmarks of Gran Canaria. You will also find a choice of local herbs, laurel or Eucalytpus leaves to bring home. Local honey, banana marmalade, almond delicacies can be as well a good idea for a souvenir. My favourites though were the local pastries.

    Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 11 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour?

    +

    Included: 6-hour bus excursion with expert local guide; Wide panoramic view of the entire Midland area; Visit to Teror and its market: 75 minutes of free time; and Visit to Vega de San Mateo and its market: 75 minutes of free time. Not included: Lunch and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 289 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 2700 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market 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.

    Is Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour 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 Teror and San Mateo Sunday Market Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Gran Canaria. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
