“Maciej was a great and very informative tour guide. He was very enthusiastic about sharing facts about Gran Canaria throughout the hike and ensured plenty of stops along the way so all participants were catered for. The group size was perfect so no one was left behind and it was an intimate adventure. The hike was thoroughly enjoyable and it was helpful having the route organised and easy to follow. The views were stunning, albeit very windy at the peak! Lunch at the local restaurant was nice, with the highlight being the fish and mojo sauce. Overall it was a long and splendid day. We’d happily do a hike organised…”
