What to do and see in Canary Islands, Canary Islands: The Best City Tours

April 19, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

The sun-drenched Canary Islands lie close to North Africa and have an exotic flavor of their own. Hundreds of volcanoes, rolling sand dunes, rich forests and rugged cliffs dapple these seven Atlantic gems. Catch a ferry to Lanzarote. Ride a camel through volcanic Timanfaya National Park. Take on Tenerife, home of Mount Teide, Spain's tallest peak. Romp Grand Canary's beaches or hike La Gomera's Garajonay National Park. More adventures await on tiny El Hierro, verdant La Palma and peaceful Fuerteventura.

Highly recommend this tour!!! The electric bikes were great fun,super speedy but also easy to get the hang of. Lorenzo was an excellent guide. Really knew the history of the area and took us along a mainly coastal footpath route mostly avoiding traffic. The highlights were a sunset cafe where we stopped for a drink/ice cream and the grand dunes- Lorenzo kindly extended the tour so we could enjoy the magnificent sunset over the dunes-which was simply breathaking. An excellent tour and excellent guide- highly recommend!

We arrived a few minutes late, but started right away. First we drove about 20mins through the neighborhood (not much to see), had the tuk tuk for ourselves. The driver was very kind, honked and waved at everyone. We then arrived at the market of the farm (we recommend the dried banana chips!!) and waited 5mins+ until our driver made us delicious, fresh smoothies. He told us a bit about the plantation, knew a lot of things, but only after we asked. We then only shortly rode to the horses and that was it, drove back. A pity we didn‘t get to go into the plantations, the only thing we saw of the farm was the market.

Due to unfavorable weather conditions our guide, Jose, kindly suggested to move our tour to another day suiting our tourist schedule to make sure we enjoyed it to the fullest. And we did! The walk was lovely and Jose explained all details and answered all our questions. He is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide, very committed to sharing the beauty of Lanzarote volcanoes. Absolutely recommended!
