    The walk scenic and not too challenging with good views on the peaks with the guide some information about the area and the vegetation without overwhelming with it. The meal looked ok but couldn't eat much due to a stomach upset. A good leg stretch after sitting around the pool for a few days

    Bergauf am Anfang sehr schnelles Lauftempo, das im Verlauf jedoch auch durch Pausen etwas reduziert wurde. Flexible Anpassung der Tourauswahl an Wetterverhältnisse ist sehr positiv zu bewerten. Auf Sicherheit der Wanderer wurde geachtet. Bezugnahme auf geographische Zusammenhänge und erlebbare Pflanzenwelt macht die Wanderung auch mit einem abschließenden kulinarischen Zusammensein zu einem ganzheitlichen, harmonisch stimmigen Urlaubserlebnis. Ich würde die Tour auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen.

    Het hiken was erg leuk om te doen. De gids vertelde ons veel informatie. Dit deed hij op een enthousiaste manier. Tijdens het eten was het erg rumoerig. Het hiken is niet voor iedereen geschikt!

    De gids was vriendelijk en enthousiast. Mooie hike. De inbegreoen lunch was oke, maar zou niet een plek zijn waar ik zelf zou gaan eten. Op zich zou een optie met een iets langere pauze waarbij je eigen meegebracht eten kan nuttigen voor mij prima zijn, en ook weer goedkoper.

    Unser Guide war sehr engagiert, hatte eine polnische Gruppe und uns zwei Deutsche dabei. Hat alles neben polnisch ausführlich auf deutsch erklärt. Die Tour war der Hitze angepasst nicht zu anstrengend mit sehr vielen Aussichtspunkten. Immer wieder mit Aussicht zum Wahrzeichen Gran Canarias. Meine Frau hatte ihren Pulli im Bus vergessen und unser Guide hat ihn am nächsten Tag bei uns im Hotel abgegeben! Dafür nochmal herzlichen Dank LG Matthias
