2.Private Old City Guided Walking Tour with Tapas

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 166 reviews · from $54

Spend 2.5 hours with a private local guide in Las Palmas, visiting Vegueta and Triana, the Columbus House, the cathedral, and lesser-known corners. Guides include Artemi, Manuel, Arturo, and Efrén. Finish with a tapa and drink, or coffee and cake, at a local café.

“We booked a private tour with Artemi. I can highly recommend our guide. He has extensive knowledge of the history of Gran Canaria and all the Canary Islands. The tour included all the important sights , with lots of recommendations for extra visits and museums to see. We finished with a tapas and drink at a local bar, sampling local foods- totally off the tourist track. We visited places that we would never have found on our own. It was a great few hours.”
