Arkeo Tour was born from an idea of a group of youngs from Andalusia and Madrid who loved its History, culture and heritage. Our team is made up of great professionals with extensive experience in managing of tourist groups and cultural visits in different parts of Spain. Most of us have trained on the street, collaborating in different archaeological sites, art galleries and museums. We consider that our land has great heritage and cultural potential that must be valued for both residents and tourists. We do not believe that transmitting our history is bored. We want you to enjoy it. May you live the experience. And that you impregnate yourself with the vestiges of our past. Join this adventure with us!

We will discover the military uses that this area has had and we will also learn about the aboriginal past of this place . What was life like in Gran Canaria before being conquered by the Crown of Castile? We will reveal it to you!


We will also visit the Santa Catalina park and the promenade of Las Canteras beach while we review the history of this area of ​​the Gran Canaria capital. We will discover how its evolution has been until it became one of the most touristic spots on the island .

Aurora ha sido una guía estupenda. He venido mil veces de vacaciones a las Canteras, y no tenía ni idea de la historia que se esconde por todos los rincones. ¡Muchas gracias por 2 horas tan interesantes!
