From Seville, this guided day trip hits the Caminito del Rey walkway above the Gaitanes Gorge plus a quick Osuna stop.
“A really great tour in the beauty of Caminito del Rey. Our guides Karlos and Pedro were super cool and really told us some interesting facts about the history of the places, we visited.”
Volcano views, local tastings, and a cloud-top sunset in Gran Canaria, with door-to-door transport and a guided Roque Nublo hike.
“I want to stress that the issue with this tour was not the weather. I have hiked in pouring rain and storms (and I live in the UK), so that was not the problem. When we were picked up, we were told that even if the weather in the north was not great, we would still do the Roque Nublo hike and the sunset in Pico de las Nieves, as these would be above the clouds. We were not told that the main part of the tour was essentially not going to happen. We went to the first stop to view Caldera de Bandama and were then told we would…”
Small-group Montserrat day trip from Barcelona with a guided monastery visit, cable car ride, easy national-park hike, and mountain views.
“It was a great trip. Our guide was so awesome. He paced the visit so well. He showed us the highlights, gave us time to explore, took us on the best hike and was cordial and engaging the entire time. It was worth every penny.”
A half-day Montserrat escape from Barcelona: monastery, Black Madonna, funicular ride, guided hike, and market time, in a small group.
“Awesome tour. Loved taking the funicular up the mountain and hiking down. Amazing views. Improvements: needed a way to reach tour guide. I got lost and was only 3 minutes away but no way to contact him or the company. Also the van was very small. I could not get comfortable or move one inch as we were so crammed in there. Glad there weren’t any really large people. Juan was an excellent driver though.”
Guided half-day hike through Los Cahorros near Granada, crossing river bridges, canyon tunnels, and scenic viewpoints with transfers and a small group.
“Lovely morning spent in nature. Uphill was a bit hard for us but guide helped where needed. Rest of the activity also had challenges and again the guide was there for us. All in all a great experience.”
Guided volcano hike in Lanzarote’s national park with transfers, snacks, and views from a volcano rim. Small group, 3.5 to 4 hours.
“Best hike I have ever done! Will definitely come back again ☀️😊”
Guided Caminito del Rey hike with entrance tickets and helmet safety. Walk 100 m high gorge paths, get expert stories, enjoy views.
“Carlos was a fantastic tour guide. He gave us a lot of information but also made us laugh. You can tell he really loves his job and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!”
Cable car to La Rambleta, then a guided hike to Teide summit with a crater permit and standout views, for $160 per person.
“Climbing up to the summit and being at the top was breathtaking (not just in a literal sense). We also had a lovely guide Benjamin.”
Half-day Montserrat tour from Barcelona with cable car up, guided monastery visit, easy hike, and funicular views, small group value.
“Comfortable bus ride. Nice guide. Beautiful building and views. Cable car was fun. The hike was good but not flat. Plan to climb a hill.”
Hike Los Cahorros in Granada with a small English-speaking group, crossing bridges and tunnels while learning about local plants.
“Julio delivered a great experience on the hike. He met us early, left the meeting point on time, took us early enough to avoid the crowds and took us on the less travelled part of the hike too. Had water and granola bars to keep our energy up too. Great 4 hour outing”
A guided 3-hour hike in Timanfaya National Park, climbing La Rilla Volcano for crater views and lava fields, with pickup options.
“The trip was amazing, Ula, the tour guide, was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was very knowledgeable about the history of volcanoes, paced the walk to suit everyone. The scenery was breathtaking and being able to get up close with the lava flows was great. I honestly couldn't recommend this tour company and guide any more highly.”
Barcelona to Costa Brava for an easy coastal hike, snorkeling gear and protected-area access, optional cliff jumps, and a local tapas lunch.
“This was an awesome tour. Our guide Nacho was super friendly and funny, knew the area well and took us to an excellent local restaurant after the hike. Worth every penny, I highly recommend this tour.”
Escape Granada for a small-group Sierra Nevada hike to San Juan Valley and Tajos del Campanario, with glacier views and mountain goats.
“This was the highlight of our trip to Granada! Jaime and Kai are the best guides we could've asked for.”
Small-group Anaga Mountains hike through the Enchanted Forest, ocean and Teide views, relaxed picnic, pickup included from Tenerife.
“I had a wonderful time. At the beginning we were taken to a viewpoint where you could see Mount Teide above the clouds. The view was truly spectacular. Then the hike through the Anaga laurel forest was very beautiful. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable. He has encyclopedic knowledge about the island and its history and wildlife. Overall it was a great experience that I can honestly recommend.”
Beat Montserrat crowds on an early van trip with Black Madonna access and a small-group hike, sunrise views, and monastery time.
“Albert was amazing! Very knowledgeable, very good communication. We had a brief but informative tour of the monastery and then started a hike up Montserrat. The hike was not easy but totally worth the effort. Going early made the whole experience better. Not as hot. No crowds. Totally recommend it.”
Every sort of day out, and the best-rated of each.
