Excellent Tour in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
We started at the bus stop in Vegeta close to the cathedral and the parking opportunity nearby. It was a sunday, hence without the boat trip. We visited the beautiful aquarium poema del mar. When we continued the Trip the bus driver waited for us. Very friendly personal overall. The locations of the busses were not shown online, but we had a fantastic trip.

Took the tour on a sunny Saturday with my partner and honestly, it was EPIC! Loved being able to hop on and off wherever we fancied. The guide was suuuper friendly and even gave us tips about this tiny bakery by stop 7 (try the almond pastries if you can!). Buses were on time mostly, just one was a little late but no biggie. Def worth it if you wanna see the city without walking miles. Would do it again for sure.

Took my two kids (7 and 9) and they LOVED it, especially waving at everyone from the top. We did the full loop first, then picked our fav stops to explore. The driver was super patient even when my youngest wouldn’t sit down (oops). Audio guide had lots of fun facts.

Did this with my parents who are not so good with walking. Was really handy! The view from the top deck is SOOO good if you get a front seat. Felt a bit rushed at some stops, but we saw a lot in one day. Heads up: sunscreen, or you'll fry like I did.
