Worth it. - Really the only realistic way to see La Gomera in a reasonable amount of time, because it’ll take you too long to find the good stuff on those twisty, mountain roads. Very interesting contrast in microclimates in different parts of the island. Basso is a good guide and you’ll see everything that’s important in a single day. Don’t miss the Columbus statue in San Sebastián. (This was his last port of call before leaving to “discover” America.)

Small Group, got to see much more. - We were so glad we booked this small group experience. Only 9 on our tour. We had a chance to see more places and get to talk to our fellow travellers, which was fun.
Basso our guide was excellent in every way. Knowledgeable and personable. He kept us together and on track for the timetable.
The minibus was a comfortable Mercedes and expertly driven up some very windy roads. But we felt safe in the hands of our driver.

La Gomera in one day - A small group of 5 guided by Basso was a perfect and efficient way to see the highlights of La Gomera in one day. Basso was highly knowledgeable of all the history and nature of the island. This tour is a great way to see the island in a comfortable way

Bosso has delivered! - Bosso took great care of us from beginning to end of the trip. The group was small, car was comfortable and air-conditioned. Our guide was such great driver! The tour plan was well thought, we had a little extra time in certain spots if we wanted to. I definitely recommend this trip if You want to experience a one day trip through the most iconic places on the island. I don't think we could do that much it in that time on our own.

Magnificent excursion to know La Gomera - Wonderful excursion from Los Cristianos, to give you a perfect idea of the island with all its vegetation environments, its people, its villages and its gastronomy, not forgetting a whistling demonstration. It's an excursion in a VIP van, with an exceptional Guide, Basso. Basso will explain everything you want to know about the island and answer any questions you may have. Recommended 100%

VIP tour La Gomera - Amazing. There were 5 of us, 2 from London who spoke a little Spanish and a family of 3 from Madrid who spoke some English. The tour itself was brilliant. Basil, our guide, took us all around the island, telling us lots about the island, life on the island, and the geology of the area. His knowledge is extensive, and he went out of his way to talk and answer any question, switching between Spanish and English in the same breath. My friend and i really enjoyed ourselves and made some friends along the way. Worth every penny.

La Gomera amazing tour - It was a beautiful experience to visit La Gomera by car, very comfortable and efficient. Our guide, Basso, was an excellent driver, an excellent guide, he talked to us about everything we saw, in real time, about flora and history of the island, about local flavors and traditions, about volcanoes and flowers, he stopped to show us everything important and interesting. It was a pleasure to admire the landscapes and to listen about the history of the island. The VIP tour felt exactly like VIP because of the confort of the car and our guide Basso. La Gomera is amazing.

Not really a VIP trip - Mini Bus was cramped with 18 people plus driver and tour guide. Seats were narrow and cramped and generally small inside. And bus not very comfortable.
Recommend you save some money and go for a normal tour instead of a VIP tour as you will generally have more leg room and seat width on a full size coach.
Should really be labelled as “small group” rather than “VIP”.
The tour guide and the driver were good. And the island was beautiful.
Trip was a little long and instead of lots of on and off would have preferred longer at a fewer locations, as felt like we were always on the bus.
