Hola! We are Inés and Juanjo, two native Gran Canarians and passionate travellers. We are lucky enough to call this extraordinary island home—and we love sharing it with curious travellers who want to experience more than the usual tourist sights. Our tours are different because we believe that discovering a place should be much more than visiting beautiful locations. It should be about understanding its history, meeting its people, discovering its traditions and, above all, having a great time along the way. As two guides travelling together, we bring different perspectives, plenty of energy and a very personal approach. We keep our groups small so we can adapt the experience to you, answer your questions and make the day feel more like travelling with friends than joining a conventional tour. We combine history, geology, local stories, legends, music, humour and a few surprises along the way. We love bringing the island to life—and our guests often tell us that our tours are as entertaining as they are informative. Gran Canaria has many faces. We want you to discover them all: the landscapes, the ancient cultures, the traditions, the food, the people and the little details that make our island unique. Come and explore Gran Canaria with us—not just as visitors, but as locals sharing the island we love. Certified Canarian touristic guide NR-35-1-0002357 TA-1-0003865.20

A Journey Through Gran Canaria’s Hidden History Step beyond the usual tourist routes and experience Gran Canaria through the eyes of those who truly know the island. This is a journey through time, combining spectacular landscapes, fascinating history and places rarely visited by tourists. We’ll explore the extraordinary Barranco de las Vacas, where water shaped the volcanic rock into spectacular walls that seem almost otherworldly. Then, we’ll uncover the secrets of a remarkable hidden cave, excavated by the island’s first inhabitants and preserved away from the crowds. Our journey ends in a charming traditional hamlet, where you’ll discover a quieter side of Gran Canaria and get a glimpse of local life beyond the tourist resorts. To complete the experience, we’ll enjoy a picnic featuring sandwiches, fresh fruit and local cheese, surrounded by the island’s landscapes. Come with us and discover the Gran Canaria that most visitors never see.
We used Ines and Juanjo for our day in Gran Canaria They are a funny and unique couple that we enjoyed spending the day with and the have a different way of celebrating their wonderful island. You can tell they love their home and show us some unique things you will not get on other tours
Another excellent tour (we booked 4) with Ines and Juan. We don't see how one could possibly enjoy Gran Canaria without a guide and we can't imagine any guide better then these two. This was a very special day and one that would be impossible to do on your own. We researched the Islands before we came, but didn't really get a feel for how much we would enjoy the area. Highest recommendation!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ines & Juan. They picked us up right outside the secure area of the cruise terminal. Their van was clean and spacious. Ines & Juan timed our tour perfectly. We were able to get to the Barranco de las Vacas trail before the crowds. We were actually able to get pictures without a crowd of people in the pictures. The hike up to the cave settlement was great. Ines set a pace that was comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the views. Ines & Juan's tour of the caves was very in depth and informative as well as alot of fun. They provided a picnic for us to enjoy while taking in the views from the caves which was awesome. We enjoyed several other scenic stops. Ines and Juan were friendly, informative and alot of fun. We had a great day with them. We highly recommend Ines & Juan as your tour guides.
Our tour was FANTASTIC! Inez and Juango were so informative and entertaining for the entire tour. They call you familia and truly make you feel that way. We had a couple ladies on our tour that were more challenged with the short hike on rocky path, but. They both persevered and with help from our guides, everyone had a wonderful time! They even made lunch for us which included some of the best fresh fruit ever! JUST DO IT!
Ines & Juan are devoted to showing you their island and its past. They are very invested into their presentation and the whole experience. They were very accomidating to us as older visitors and made sure that we were comfortable in our experience.
Our small group of two couples were fortunate to have booked Inés & Juanjo as our guides while our ship was in port in Gran Canaria. They were energetic, engaging, and entertaining, but most importantly they were educational. This is not a normal tour--this one goes to spots that are not touristy and which provide a perfect backdrop to help us understand what life is like on Gran Canaria interspersed with the history. And they locally-based picnic lunch they provided was great. By the end of the day, we felt we knew them and understood why they are so proud to be Canarians. I would recommend these guides and this tour most highly.
Barranco de las Vacas Our first stop is this spectacular volcanic canyon, where water and time have sculpted the rock into smooth curves and striking red, orange and golden tones. We’ll explore the canyon at a relaxed pace, while your guides explain its geology and help you discover the best viewpoints for photographs. An Indigenous Cave Settlement We’ll then continue into the countryside to discover a remarkable archaeological site connected to Gran Canaria’s Indigenous inhabitants. After an easy walk of approximately 1 km, you’ll encounter ancient caves in their natural setting and learn how the island’s first inhabitants adapted to their environment. To help protect this special place, we do not publicly disclose its exact location. A Traditional Hamlet Our final stop is a small rural hamlet far from the tourist crowds. Here, you’ll experience a quieter side of Gran Canaria and discover how local communities have lived for generations. A journey through nature, history and authentic island life.
