Las Palmas tour with free time in Vegueta and shopping

3.7/5
117 reviews

The big-city buzz of Las Palmas will delight you during this shopping trip to Gran Canaria's capital. You'll start your tour with a stroll through the old town, Vegueta. During this visit, you'll have time to stretch your legs and explore the pretty cobblestone streets at your own pace. This is also a great opportunity to browse local souvenir shops and experience the atmosphere of one of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods. Local guide Carmen says, "It's just incredible wandering the old town at your own pace. Vegueta is so fashionable and atmospheric, it's like being in a movie."

Next, you'll be whisked to Los Alisios Shopping Mall, located approximately 20 minutes away. This modern shopping centre is the perfect place to relax and indulge in some retail therapy. With a wide range of popular stores to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice. A number of fast food outlets, plus more traditional cafes and bars are available if you need to refuel. There's even a bowling alley if you want to mix it up.

At the end of the trip, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel after a day out that offers the perfect balance of Las Palmas' cultural charm and a modern shopping experience. It's an ideal excursion for all ages and interests.

    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

    Firstly, we were the only pick up that wasn’t from our hotel. The journey was a lot longer than I anticipated having had to pick up outwith Puerto Rico. Due to delays at other pick ups time at the old town was cut short which was extremely disappointing. As for the shopping centre, was poor, we drove past a better one. The tour guide was rather passive aggressive. The trip is worth nowhere near the £27pp we paid.

    My mother fell down on the trip and the tour guide did not care about her, did not offer her first aid, did not even bother to check on her to see if she was okay
