Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €15.00. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.

Medium weights for Winter. Casual “layers” for the autumn and spring months and a warm jacket is recommended for the cool mornings and evenings. Comfortable shoes are a “must” for sightseeing. The hotel prefers reasonably smart dress for dinner – gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers and a formal shirt.

These are just a few of the tours, which may be available to you depending on the time of year and the numbers interested. Full details of all the excursions available will be advised at the Information Meeting. Prices may vary, depending on numbers etc and are only a guideline. All tours should be paid for in euros only. The exact amount will be given at your Information Meeting. Your Tour Leader will help arrange these for you but may not necessarily accompany you. Please note:- Optional excursions are not guaranteed and are based on minimum numbers. The prices quoted are guideline only and may involve other non-Solos holidaymakers. North Tour This full day tour takes you through the fertile part of the island to Mirador del Rio (the most northern point) en route to Teguise, the old capital of the island, to see the Church of San Miguel and the Castle of Guanapay, a fortress dating from the 14th century. Then depart for Jameos del Agua, an underground cave of volcanic origin with a subterranean lake. The nearby Cueva de Los Verdes, stretching from a volcano through to the stream, is well worth a visit. Please note: This tour involves climbing up and down steps in parts. At Jameos del Agua some of the passageways into the volcano caves are quite narrow, dimly lit and have very low ceilings meaning you have to bend quite low (for short distances). Sensible shoes should be worn (no heels or ‘flip-flops’). Although there are also many large, open areas inside the caves, anyone suffering from claustrophobia should bear this information in mind.
