La Gomera from Tenerife : small group max. 18 people

About this experience

This tour has been designed for travelers who want to discover La Gomera in a more authentic, comfortable and personal way, away from the crowded routes of large buses. The visit takes place in a small group, with a maximum of 18 people, and is normally guided by an official guide accredited by the Government of the Canary Islands, with extensive experience and deep knowledge of the islands. The route is not limited to the usual shopping stops. During the tour you will visit viewpoints, Garajonay National Park, rural areas, traditional villages such as El Cercado or Chipude and places where you can better understand the Gomera culture, its landscapes, its ancient trades and traditions such as Silbo Gomero. The goal is for the traveler not only to “see” La Gomera, but to understand it and live it for real.
