Hi, I'm Israel and welcome to the Canary Islands! It will be a pleasure for me to guide you around these marvelous islands. I'm originally from Venezuela, but half of my life I have been living in Spain. I love to enjoy new experiences, meet people and be surprised by life, so that's why, it wasn't for me difficult to be integrated in the Spanish culture. I finished my studies to a become a tourist guide and I started to work guiding groups around Europe, now I'm based in Gran Canaria, and since long time ago I've been learning about the history, geography, culture, nature, and other aspects of the Canarian Archipelago. As a tourist guide, my goal is to create an experience for my clients, a happiness and enjoyable time, where you can enjoy your time here as I do every day, and make of this experience, what you were expecting for. The diversity of this archipielago offers all you could wish for your holidays. The microclimates, landscapes, villages and its people make it different and interesting. Every Island has something special, volcanic landscapes, big green mountains, beatiful beaches, dunes, etc. But also you can feel the experience of visiting historical villages with the authentic Canarian soul. The Canarian gastronomy is unique, take the chance and taste it! I recommend you try ropa vieja, papas arrugadas, gofio, or garbanzada, my favorites dishes of the Canarian gastronomy. This is quick overview of all you can experience in the Canary Islands, but there's more to see, visit and discover. Make the most of your holiday and don't miss the chance to enjoy a 100% Canarian experience. If you wish to customize your own itinerary, please don't hesitate to let me know your idea, questions or doubts, it will be a pleasure to help you and design a special tour for you! I hope to meet you soon, and don't forget, all the best of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura awaits for you! Official Guide License GA-1378 Técnico Superior en Guía Información y Asistencias Turísticas.

Israel provided a great tour experience. Picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the cruise terminal. Vehicle was clean and comfortable and he built a customized tour based on our desires and time restrictions (gotta get to the ship on time!) From the top of the volcano and the beautiful scene and topography, and down to the local winery where we tasted very nice wines and had a good walk-about by the vineyards, thru the historic property, and briefly thru the cellar with some historic bottles. And it the winery tour was brief .... we didn't need another lengthy discussion of the wine making process. However, their bottling, etc. was unique. Very relaxing and enjoyable wine tasting. Overall great time.

Nicholas C.United States
Israel met us at the port, beginning the tour with a drive through Las Palmas, giving us a history of the Canary Islands & this island in particular. We then drove to a small village where we had a walking tour. Israel is professional & very personable with an excellent command of English. He answered all our questions. We enjoyed his company, as well as his insights into the culture of the island. We learned much in the short time we had. We highly recommend this tour and Israel as a guide.

1st. Stop Caldera de Bandama. The tour stops at Caldera de Bandama to take a look at this caldera created by the explosion of the volcano, to enjoy the impressive views of the north, but also to discover the secrets of the second world war that this place hides. 2nd. Wine region & Wineries The tour continues through the north of the Island, thanks to the volcanoes, the soil of this area is perfect to cultivate grapes and produce the special Canarian wine.
