Ride Granada’s open-air city train along the Alhambra Route, stopping near the Alhambra, Plaza Nueva, Cathedral, Mirador de San Cristóbal, and more. Use a single-ride, one-day, or two-day ticket, with audio commentary in 12 languages. Bring your own headphones and expect cobbled streets to be bumpy.

Spend eight hours crossing Gran Canaria from the coast to its green mountain heart. Visit Arucas and Teror, stop near Tejeda, lunch in Valleseco, and learn about Canarian culture from a multilingual guide. Pickup is available across the southern resorts, but not Las Palmas.
“Unforgettable Day in Gran Canaria – A Family Adventure! We recently took a day trip around Gran Canaria with our big family, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, we felt completely taken care of — every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the entire experience was seamless and stress-free. The views were absolutely breathtaking. What truly made the day exceptional was our guide, Tom. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was engaged, entertained, and comfortable. His knowledge of the island, his friendly energy, and his ability to connect with all ages made a huge difference.”
Ride from Malaga to Granada for a guided Alhambra visit with entry tickets, headsets, and an English or Spanish guide. You’ll see the Alcazaba, Generalife gardens, Palace of Charles V, and, if selected, the exquisite Nasrid Palaces. Bring ID, water, and a packed snack.
“a great day seeing the Alhambra complex! pick up meeting point was well communicated and went smoothly. recommend reading ALL messages and emails where full details are provided for ticket pick up and guide meeting area. worth the price, our guide Dante was excellent and provided a wealth of information. recommend bringing snacks or light lunch as there is not time provided for lunch. really enjoyed seeing the complex!”
Ride from south Tenerife into Teide National Park for pine forests, volcanic rock, high-altitude views, and photo stops around Mount Teide and Pico Viejo. Your guide may speak English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, or Russian. Pickup is available at select hotels.
“What a good trip! The guide Antonio and driver Oscar were so friendly and made the whole day so enjoyable. What made this trip even better was I had originally booked onto another tour with Viatour via trip advisor who after seeing I had just booked for 1 person made me cancel my booking… I then found this company, I booked onto a teide tour which unfortunately could no longer go ahead.. they got in touch with me to explain and instead of making me cancel like the other company did they switched me to this tour at no extra cost and I am so glad they did. Best day…”

“Both Ronda and Setenil are interesting locations- the 2 hour guide in Ronda was very informative and glad we did it. Some interesting facts in the coach on the way up too by Ramon.”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
