“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.”

“This was a good excursion -- the dinner stop was great -- really good food. The sunset was gorgeous. The telescopes provided amazing views. The staff was quite helpful and accommodating. Due to the advice provided in advance by the tour company, we "dressed in layers" and were very comfortable with the night temperatures. My advice to them and to someone who takes this tour would be this: 1. Since the "modern" bathrooms are closed at the sunset viewing site, UPON ARRIVAL there, show attendees where the alternative is (since it is a bit of a hike) and send the first woman and the first guy with a roll of…”

Guide Ozzie was great and did a terrific job managing a large group and helping teach us about the stars and constellations. The telescopes provided an additional surprise with views of Saturn and its rings, and Jupiter.

The bus and driver were great, the journey felt very safe on the narrow Canarian roads and it was nice to be in a smallish group. The cable car is OK, it could do with more hand holds from the ceiling or less people allowed on each car. The car was swaying in the wind and when it went over the rollers with not a lot for people in the middle of the car to hold on to. The…”
