“Have used GYG 8 times to date and are always happy with them. Good communication about pick-up points, on time, comfortable coach. Very good and knowledgeable guide (Laura) and driver (Caramelo). Interesting trip. There were 4 breaks, we would have preferred maybe 2 breaks so we could spend more time at the Visitor Centre which was really interesting. Unfortunately the cable car was closed as it was very windy but GYG refunded the money very speedily. Recommended.”
