“Ana and Angelica were wonderful guides! Easy pickup point in Las Palmas and good communication prior. Tour starts in the south and most of the people were from the southern hotels there. Then we went into the hills. Fun and scenic drive! Visited Santa Lucia, had a nice lunch and later visited Fortaleeza? Walked around and into a lava tunnel used by the Canarias. Learned a lot about the history and geology of the island! The red canyon was beautiful, but a small part of the day. Got dropped off at the cruise terminal in Las Palmas, which was much appreciated. Very enjoyable and great way to see the island…”

“This was the Worst tour ever! Do not waste your money. Be aware this starts in the alternative section of Madrid, there are 6 ft penis posters. For 4 people we were only given 2 small drinks (3oz) during the tour- 4 stops , we had to ask/pay for water. The “tasting” were small plates, 8 total in 3 spots. All but 2 were terrible- one was pig blood sausage- the last stop was a fast food tapas place- the guide was terrible. No personality, she didn’t eat or drink and lectured about alcohol and sugary food- she even went off about how she hated “fat people” this tour was…”

“Our tour guide was on time at the meeting point and we enjoyed the food at each destination. There were nine of us in our group. Our group included friends who were celebrating a bachelorette weekend. It would have been better if our guide began the tour with introductions and building camaraderie within the group. Instead she focused her energy on her “script” for sharing about the sights along the way. In the end the members of the group took the initiative to build a rapport with each other. When signing up for the excursion I provided information about my shellfish allergy. That information was not shared with any of…”
Visit Casa Vicens in Barcelona, Antoni Gaudi’s first major house, then enjoy a seasonal Hofmann aperitif in the garden. The experience lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, is offered in English, and includes admission. The exact sweet may be ice cream rather than churros.
“They had ice cream instead of churros and the staff seemed disinterested and the young lady in the shop was rude. Casa Vicems was amazing tho’”
