Abbiamo studiato il percorso per andare da Puerto alla Gomera ed era abbastanza complicato senza un mezzo proprio, poi cercando su getyourguide abbiamo trovato questa escursione perfetta per le nostre esigenze e oltretutto ci sembrava divertente provare un safari in jeep! Il viaggio fino a Tenerife Sud è stato un incubo per me perché siamo passati in mezzo alle montagne con un’andatura troppo allegra per tutte quelle curve ed ero un pò terrorizzata al pensiero di dover affrontare tutta la giornata in quel modo, poi per fortuna ci è stata assegnata la nostra guida in italiano ed è stato tutto più tranquillo. Flavio ha cercato di tenere il passo con le altre jeep senza però farmi soffrire il viaggio. Sono stata davanti e ciò mi ha permesso di avere delle informazioni riguardo l’isola anche durante la guida. L’isola è meravigliosa e vale davvero la pena visitarla con una guida esperta perché ci sono tante cose da sapere e da scoprire. L’unica pecca è stato il pranzo, ma rispetto alla b

The trip was run in a great and very efficient way. Our driver Carlos was excellent. The pick up was right on time; it’s about 1:15 hr drive to the South from Puerto de la Cruz; there is a coffee stop before heading for the ferry. The ride to La Gomera is 50 min; there are several cafes, free wifi onboard. If the weather is good you may want to stay on the deck - we saw pilot whales on the return journey. The weather was brilliant and the island is absolutely scenic and gorgeous. We did several picture stops on top of local hills and learnt about island culture and life. One of highlights for me was the whistling demonstration… just wow! And ask locals for more - they will happily oblige. The walk in laurel forest was short but very beautiful, it’s a unique forest. Lunch was in a nice spot, however, the food was underwhelming. But they give unlimited wine. Visit to the capital was also interesting - Columbus landed here in 1492.

I enjoyed the itinerary. I am not awarding 5* for a rather selfish reason. Spending almost 13 hours with my driver, I had very little communication with him as, through a lack of a common language, we couldn’t converse. Normally a driver can give you lots of info as you journey through the day. In this case, zero. Silence. Nothing. I appreciate at various strategic points a guide would speak to groups in various languages. However, the tour is marketed as language appropriate. For 90% of the tour, it was NOT.
