    Es war eine wirklich tolle und informative Tour. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit Viktor, dem Tourguide. Er hat sich um alles und jeden gekümmert. Der Canyon ist sehr beeindruckend und wir hatten genug Zeit, um alles zu sehen und ein paar schöne Fotos zu machen. Das Mittagessen und die Verkostung waren ebenfalls sehr lecker und interessant. Insgesamt können wir die Tour weiterempfehlen.

    Travelled with a group of friends

    Je ziet de mooiste plekjes. De gidsen kunnen veel vertellen over de geschiedenis van de plekken die je ziet. Ook zit er een tasting en lunch bij. De lunch was aan de kleine kant. Verder was het super leuk en is het ook zeker aan te raden! Het is wel handig als je goed te been bent, aangezien je naar de grotten moet lopen/klimmen.

    Het was een zeer leuke excursie, met een goede tour guide, je ziet veel mooie adembenemende plekje en hoor veel over het verleden van het eiland. Gestopt in een dorpje om wat lokale dingen te proeven heerlijk. En in de middag een echt canarische lunch! Zeker aan te raden!

    Sehr interessante und vielseitige Tour. Besonders spannend war, was wir alles beim Erkunden der Höhlen über das Leben der Ureinwohner erfahren haben. Celeste ist hier sehr fachkundig und mit viel Herzblut dabei. Toll organisiert mit zwei zusammengelegten Kleingruppen und zwei Guides (Celeste und David), die immer darauf geachtet haben, dass es allen gut geht. Tolles "Goodie": die Fotos vom Tag und die Unterstützung beim Erstellen eigener Fotos im Canyon.
