What to expect

Soak up the rich history and vibrant culture of Las Palmas' Old Town on this guided tour of Vegueta. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this excursion promises an unforgettable journey through cobblestone alleys and centuries-old architecture. Ana, one of our expert local guides, says, 'One of my favourite things to do is just to ‘get lost' in the old town, strolling through the lanes at your own pace. Vegueta is so fashionable and atmospheric, it's like being in a movie.'Begin your adventure with a guided exploration of Vegueta's charming streets. Learn fascinating stories and discover hidden gems as you wander through this historic district. Step into the past at the renowned Museo Canario, where ancient artifacts and insights into the island's pre-Hispanic heritage await. Ana adds, 'without the generosity of Dr. Gregorio Chil y Naranjo, who willed his home as a place to house the museum, these precious artifacts might not be available for public viewing today.'Continue your cultural immersion with a visit to the Diocesan Museum, showcasing Gran Canaria's religious and artistic heritage. Marvel at the architectural masterpiece of the Cathedral of Santa Ana before enjoying some free time to explore Vegueta at your own pace. Stroll along its bustling streets, browse through quaint shops and boutiques, and perhaps pick up souvenirs or local crafts to commemorate your visit.

The trip itself was quite good but felt there really wasn’t that much to see that took 4 hours. We were lucky and were one of the last pick ups but if you are first then potentially there and back is 3/4 hours day on a coach .

Weinig cultuur. Naast het museum waar niet veel te zien was, een kerk en een groenten markt die je zelf kon gaan opzoeken na aanwijzing van de gids. Werden we losgelaten in de winkelstraat voor ongeveer 3 uur konden hierna weer terug naar het Hotel. Was dus meer een excursie om te winkelen. Trouwens de gids was aller vriendelijks !!

The bus was very old and noisy and didn't feel up to TUI standard. Because of the noise we couldn't understand the tour guide at all. The tour guide didn't seem to be very happy to be there and didn't feel engaging throughout. The museum had no English info anywhere and the guide didn't mention the audio tour at all.

Zuerst wurde das Museum Canaria besucht, hier gab es viel über die Vergangenheit Gran Canarias zu sehen. Danach zur Cathetrale und dem religiösen Museum. Danach war noch genug Zeit um durch die Stadt zu bummeln oder das Kolumbus Museum anzuschauen. Super Tag.

The guide obviously loved his job but after sitting on the bus for two hours picking up from all the hotels we needed a toilet break. There were also too many people on the excursion and it was impossible to hear what he was saying a good amount of the time. At times I managed to squeeze myself forward so I could hear. It was all a bit rushed and many seemed to zone out from what was being said. Not too sure but think we left a couple behind in Las Palmas but they may have chosen to do that.

Long drive to pick everyone up, very early start for those of us at the Princess Taurito. No time for a coffee or breakfast. Desperate for both by the time we got there. quickly taken through the old quarter to the cathedral, guide did point out places of possible interest. Cathedral was worth the visit. Skipped the Musium as really needed a drink and something to eat.

The Museum and Cathedral were good and shopping area also. However, from our Hotel, taking 2 hours to get there was simply unacceptable. Must have been 20 pick-ups and then the same drop-offs. If you are staying at Taurito or Mogan the local bus gets you there quicker

Visiting the museum first on arrival to Las Palmas so we could all use the toilets would be much better as it was a long time from Hotel pick ups to toilet stop!

For us we were 4 hours on the coach and maximum 4 hours sightseeing something we found out afterwards ! Also , there was sufficient time to fit in a third attraction visit in Las Palmas

Vår guide verkar vara mycket kunnig och man skulle vilja få chans att fråga mer ingående om historia etc. Dock för lite tid för det. Dessutom är en hel busslast med människor för många för ingående frågor. Ffa som många olika språk talas. Skulle kunna vara mindre grupper för mer guidning och frågor. Ang Kanariska museet så vore det bra om man har texter även på engelska.

2 uur in een bus met geringe beenruimte om alle gasten op het eiland op te halen voordat de werkelijke excursie begint, is teveel van het goede. Terug weer 2 uur. Voor sommige mensen is de bus een kwelling. Formaat is afgestemd op zoveel mogelijk en niet op comfort. Reden voor ons om dergelijke excursies te mijden.

I particularly enjoyed the cathedral as you got amazing views of Las Palmas from the top. But the downside for me were 1. The museum was interesting but most the info was in Spanish so I couldn't understand any of the text I believe there were QR codes to scan for more info but to respect others you would want to use headphones. Also we had 40mins to see the whole place which is not enough time. Then our free time was short at 2 hrs which definitely wasn't long enough. 4 hrs is not enough time

I had done a previous tour to the Cathedral & then to a shopping mall. Wanting more time in the city I picked this even thought I am not the most mobile of persons, I was reassured that the guide would be patient and not leave anyone behind. And they were. While old building and cobbled streets are the easiest things to navigate I managed well enough to enjoy this fabulous tour. Entry to Cathedral & the museum included and then enough free time to wander or go to another museum. Would recommend.
