Get A Real Taste Of Gran Canaria With Handmade Tours

Handmade Tours gets you right to the heart of Gran Canaria's wine, coffee and cheese Handmade Tours gets you right to the heart of Gran Canaria's wine, coffee and cheese Handmade Tours

For a real taste of Gran Canaria's wine, olive oil and local cuisine, a bespoke tour with a local guide is the way to go. 

Handmade Tours, run by a good friend of ours called Masequera, is a fantastic way to really get into the Gran Canaria countryside and learn how the island turns its sunshine into gold. 

Masequera takes you from your accommodation right up into the rural areas where the grapes and olive trees grow and the shepherds make the superb local cheese. She takes you into the vineyards and olive fields rather than just waving at them out of the bus window. You get to feel the soil underfoot, see the grapes on the vines, and talk to the vine-growers and local producers. It's a level of detail that you'll never get by taking a coach tour or renting a car. 

Masequera is a guide who really cares about your experience. She plans everything from the route and the local restaurant (rather than a big place that caters to bus tours) to the music you hear in her car.

Handmade Tours offers themed tours that teach you all about the island's wine, coffee, cheese and olive oil and also offer fully customized tours. Contact her and tell her what you want and she'll make it happen.

For a real blast of local flavour in Gran Canaria, we can't recommend Handmade Tours enough.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
