Howver, there could have been more food options. In this case, the place and event could be even better. Would definitely recommend the place to friends and family. Thank you”

“Our guide, Artemis, was exactly right for the job and gave us a very good time. On time - we were a little early but he was already there - very friendly, knowledgeable and very keen to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Which we did. We had not been to Gran Canaria before and were ignorant about its history, so we learned a lot, very easily and enjoyably. The cab/walking combination was exactly right for what we needed - enabling us to see some of the quite widely spaced essential sights, but also get the kind of flavour of the City which you can only get on foot. The lunchtime…”

10.E-Bike City Tour with Camel Safari on Maspalomas Sand Dunes

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10 reviews · from $101

Spend two hours cycling Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas with a multilingual local guide, stopping at viewpoints and a lagoon used by migrating birds. The tour includes a 30-minute camel ride in the dunes, an e-bike, one soft drink and a small group of up to 10. Guide Lorenzo has led tours, but guides may vary.

“We ended up being on a private tour with our guide Lorenzo, so this may be an atypical review. The ebikes provided were useful because the terrain is quite deceptively hilly. We were taken to various parts of the island, and found Lorenzo learned about the local history, and culture as well as many of the botantical aspects of the natural ecosystem. Of the things we did I would see seeing the Dunes of Maspalomas was probably the highlight though we also saw some interesting sculptures. The "camel" ride was fun but a bit dull and lacking any visit to different terrain, so probably more of an experience for kids…”

“We did the 4 hour bike coast tour with Lorenzo yesterday. It was amazing!! We were taken to so many secluded beaches we would never have found on our own. Stopped for the best cappuccino we’ve ever tasted on the way there and a fab smoothie on the way back. We were lucky to get into the banana plantation and the guy took time to explain to us how it all worked. Definitely the best way to get around the island and see all the sites. The bikes are easy to use. Lorenzo is so nice and knowledgeable. We now have lots of places we want to visit. 5 star…”
