Website looks a bit dodgy but after reading reviews we decided to go for it. We went on a Tuesday to the banana plantation tour, I really wish we could remember the tour guides name as he was absolutely brilliant. He was a young lad probably in his 30s and let me tell you he worked absolute overtime translating into English, German and Spanish. He was so informative on the long bus ride and really kept you entertained on the longish journey. We started at the banana plantation which was absolutely brilliant, they then finish that with lots of lovely tasters before you go to the next destination; the rum distillery. Throughout the entire journey whilst you are on the bus the guide will be telling you facts about local culture, canarian economy, Canarian ecosystem etc. Once we arrived at the rum distillery you are passed on to their personnel for the tours, they are also exceptional. Be prepared for the tasting, we did not have breakfast and they are VERY VERY generous with their rums. You then get an option to have lunch at another restaurant near the black sand beaches, that will be an extra 15 euro per person although it's well worth doing (delicious and 3 courses). Lastly you will be taken to the coffee plantation and shown their process of growing and roasting coffee. Truly cannot recommend this tour enough, absolutely brilliant. So much so that we went on the yellow submarine one a few days later, which wasn't so much a tour as an excursion but still as helpful to get to places as a tourist. 1000/10 would use these guys again if we had more time.
