Fantastic must visit place in Gran Canaria! - This was hands down the top experience we had at Gran Canaria. The guided tour was very entertaining and we learnt very interesting facts about the history, cultivation and varieties of bananas. The plantation and the heritage property was beautiful and well appointed. We loved the tasting event at the end where we tried bananas, liqueurs, chutneys, marmalades - all available to buy at the shop on site. Our children also loved the experience. Highly recommend!

Great tour - It was an amazing tour with our guide Sacha. He told everything perfectly and was very kind. The tour was very interesting and educational. You learn everything from which types of bananas there are and where there from. And the last thing was the most fun! You can taste everything that they sell. It is worth it.
