About this experience

Discover the authentic heart of Gran Canaria on a private, customizable day trip with your English-speaking driver. Begin in historic Telde, exploring cobbled streets and colonial churches, then head to Arucas for its neo-Gothic church and rum distillery. In Firgas, stroll the tiled “Village of Water” walkway with fountains and mosaics. Continue through lush Valleseco before ascending to the panoramic Mirador de la Cruz de Tejeda for sweeping island and ocean views. Conclude at an Aloe Vera Farm, learning about this healing plant’s cultivation and uses. With hotel pickup, drop-off, and flexible timing, this journey blends mountain scenery, cultural heritage, and local flavor into one unforgettable day.
