It starts really early in the morning, and the tour was pretty much just Germans, I was the only American haha, but it was fantastic, got to practice my German a lot, and the lunch was amazing. I really enjoyed seeing the Silbo Gomero and seeing the remains of ancient Canarian Amazigh culture, the wine was simply delicious! I would so go on this tour again!

We were picked up outside our hotel at 0715. A pleasant young lady dealt with the administration. After about an hour of pick ups she got off the coach without a word to be replaced by a rather scruffy man who simply said hello and sat down.

Oliver was our excellent tour guide and our visit to La Gomera was well worth the very early start.

This was a fantastic tour!! We were a group of four and we all agree that our guide Ildefonso made the whole day so interesting.His knowledge was endless and his delivery of the information was so professional...no notes whatsoever.Very impressive!!_br/_ The demonstration of the Silbo language at the lunch stop was incredible and so pleased to hear that this language is being to taught to schoolchildren so that it will not disappear...what a unique and wonderful heritage._br/_ A seamless tour and well worth the early start from the hotel in Tenerife.

Awesome trip. Stunning scenery. Saw dolphins and turtles on the ferry over, added bonus! Whistling demo was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone!

This was a full day tour. My only disappointment was that there were not enough opportunities to take pictures of the breaktaking views.

wonderful day, although an early start. Be aware it is a lot cooler on the island. Very interesting day.

Everything was the way it should be. The guide was amazing and skilled at languages, there were many stops to take pictures at viewpoints. We were provided with interesting info about the area. The included meal was delicious too. Highly recommended.

Definitely a worthwhile trip. It visits key locations and gives you a good taste of what the island has to offer. The guide Oliver was both informative and entertaining though we had to repeatedly listen to 4 translations of all the information and some people - Germans I think - talked too loudly when it was not in their language. Organisation of transport hotel pick up ferry island tour was excellent and trouble-free. The lunch was simple, but not bad in terms of value for money, and included wine. We were unlucky not to sit at a table with any English-speakers. The tour was a bit rushed at the end, with very little time to look round San Sebastian, because of the imminent ferry departure

Interesting tour round and round the mountains. Unfortunately the nature reserve was shrouded in cloud with misty rain so weren't able to appreciate the view. The meal in the cafe was disappointing though the demonstration of whistling, fascinating._br/_ When we were picked up at our hotel, the Arona Gran, our guide Bernard informed us that when we returned to the port after our trip we were to walk back to our hotel, over a mile, so we were not impressed!

Tour was overall very good and a fascinating day at La Gomera. The vistas and views of local flora are amazing. The only small challenges was the very early pickup time with lots of stops at the start of the tour, and the multiple languages which made for repetitive narration.

Good tour only down side was the ferry was extremely late making it a very long day. Excellent guide and made sure we got back to hotel very quickly

Good tour of the Island but a lot of time spent on the bus. Guide was very informative however as there were many different nationalities on the tour the guide spent a long time repeating the information in at least 5 languages which was a bit off putting. Lunch was far better than previous reviews. More time in San Sebastion the capital would have been appreciated.

good but not great
Review by: Bryan C, October 2016
I would have given this excursion 5 stars if the guide had not let us down at the end of the tour.

I enjoyed the actual trip to the island although I found the guide a bit authoritarian. The purpose of the day, for me, was mainly photography and it is a bit demeaning to be treated like children and continually being told to pay attention when trying to take photographs._br/_ I would also question whether it is necessary for a guide to talk continuously for what seemed like every minute of the trip. _br/_ However, he was probably only trying to be helpful - he just needs to tone it down a bit and remember that we are paying customers.

There was a lot covered and some of the background information was interesting.

Review by: ALAN M, July 2016
Excellent tour for the money paid, picked up and delivered back to our hotel front door. Great day out seeing most of La Gomera. Lucy was served too. Lots of information given by our guide throughout. Great ferry journey from Los Christianos. Well worth considering. Last the whole day.
