What to expect

Soak up the rich history and vibrant culture of Las Palmas' Old Town on this guided tour of Vegueta. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this excursion promises an unforgettable journey through cobblestone alleys and centuries-old architecture. Ana, one of our expert local guides, says, 'One of my favourite things to do is just to ‘get lost' in the old town, strolling through the lanes at your own pace. Vegueta is so fashionable and atmospheric, it's like being in a movie.'

Begin your adventure with a guided exploration of Vegueta's charming streets. Learn fascinating stories and discover hidden gems as you wander through this historic district. Step into the past at the renowned Museo Canario, where ancient artifacts and insights into the island's pre-Hispanic heritage await. Ana adds, 'without the generosity of Dr. Gregorio Chil y Naranjo, who willed his home as a place to house the museum, these precious artifacts might not be available for public viewing today.'

Continue your cultural immersion with a visit to the Diocesan Museum, showcasing Gran Canaria's religious and artistic heritage. Marvel at the architectural masterpiece of the Cathedral of Santa Ana before enjoying some free time to explore Vegueta at your own pace. Stroll along its bustling streets, browse through quaint shops and boutiques, and perhaps pick up souvenirs or local crafts to commemorate your visit.

    Loved the cultural aspect. The guide was very good. A very good insight to the more rural aspect of Gran Canaria. The aquarium part of the tour was incredible and a real testimony of excellent engineering and inspirational design with a strong, well presented education on the oceans and rivers of the world. The tapas meal did not greatly suit my palette and was really the only negative to the trio.

    Timings felt about right with a good balance between guided time and free time. Gabby was an excellent guide: clear communication, knowledgeable and approachable. My only suggestion for an improvement may be proving a small map or list of suggested places to go during free time.

    We enjoyed the opportunity to see the old town. But it was very minimal in terms of guidance and explanations. The visit to the museum and the cathedral were okay, but again, with little guidance. 3 hours of free time and 2 hours each way on a bus. It was a long day and not a great deal gained from the experience.

So you can tick off sleepy fishing villages like Anfi, bubbly seaside spots like Puerto Rico and Arguineguin or more dashing towns like Puerto de Mogan.Each has its own charm – and nowhere can the colour of a town be better appreciated than during the weekly market. In Arguineguin, it's every Tuesday, while in Puerto de Mogan, there are two. Monday is the farmers' market while Friday sees the town come to life for the ethnic and gastronomic market – African drums, wooden wind chimes and Canarian cheeses are among the stall buys.
