    Der gik noget galt, vi ventede over en time, foran Hotel Eden og bussen kom aldrig, man havde ikke fortalt os at den holdt ved et andet hotel ,ca 400m Væk, så det var en stor skuffelse, man skulle have tilbudt os en taxa, og så kunne vi have taget bussen hjem. Men det var for dyrt sagde den engelske Guide.

    The guide was excellent but it was a little difficult to hear him on the bus. Thoroughly enjoyed our day, Vegueta was really interesting to see, and we enjoyed the shopping afterwards.

    I would have liked more time in both areas, felt rushed and constantly checking the time. Unfortunately there had been an accident so late arriving at Vagueta.

    Excellent value for money,the tour of Las Palmas old town was just long enough, great shopping centre so plenty of walking involved. It was a relatively small group but the tour guide did brilliantly translating between English, German, Dutch and Polish in enough time for people to see what he was talking about
