“Loved the tour. The guide was fab and explained the entire history of the estate and wine making process so nicely! The estate is a beauty on its own. The wine and cheese tasting was fantastic because you got to have it in a beautiful garden on the estate while butterflies surrounded you. 10/10 experience and 11/10 guide”

“This is an excellent excursion in every way. Very informative guide and a good chance to see part of the Island as well as the threes stops for the Banana Plantation, Run tasting and lastly the Coffee Growing. Everything was fine but…. If you are getting on and have difficulty walking, the Coffee place especially was a bit hard work getting up the path to. Otherwise a very good excursion.”

“I absolutely loved the Tapas and Wine Tour in Mogán! The entire experience took about 2,5 hours and was perfectly paced. It started with a wonderful mini-excursion where we explored a 200-year-old Canarian farmhouse and a beautiful cactus garden. The food was incredible—there were so many delicious tapas to try. We enjoyed a great selection of white and red wines, but the highlight was definitely the vermouth. They serve Vermut Lolito, which is the very first vermouth produced in Gran Canaria and is made right there at the Valle de Mogán restaurant. Being able to taste such a unique, local product makes this a truly exclusive experience. I highly recommend…”
