I reply in under 5 min · Direct, no middlemen

I pick you up at the cruise port or your accommodation and take you to the historic centre. In Vegueta and Triana the four museums are very close to each other: El Museo Canario to learn about the ancient Canarians, the Casa de Colón for the Atlantic and the Americas, CAAM for contemporary art, and the birthplace of Pérez Galdós. Allow about four hours to see them at a relaxed pace.
