Tip-based free walking tours in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The two routes on this page are walks of about 2 hours through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with an official tourist guide and in Spanish. One crosses Vegueta and Triana, from the Teatro Pérez Galdós to Triana's Calle Mayor; the other goes down through the Puerto de la Luz and along the Las Canteras promenade to the Castillo de la Luz.

Both include a stop to taste Canarian honey rum, included in the tour.

How the tip works

You book online with 2 € per person and the tour is tip-based: at the end you hand the guide whatever you found fair, with no minimum. It is not a free tour; it is a tour where you decide the price once it is over.

Each group needs a minimum of 4 participants to go ahead; if it isn't reached, alternatives are offered. The booking is confirmed instantly.

Before you go

The meeting point is the Teatro Pérez Galdós (ticket office, for Vegueta and Triana) or the Lolita Pluma monument in Santa Catalina park (Las Canteras): the guide is there 10 minutes early, with her official guide card. It is a short, flat outing that fits a weekend morning or afternoon.

It is not wheelchair accessible and pets are allowed.
