The tour was very rushed and the music was terrible on the bus. _br/_ I got very upset at the camel stop._br/_ The camels were all chained up together and being forced to sit in their own urine and poo._br/_ The camels had sores all over their legs.

We took the full day tour in April. In generally it was ok, but... I expected a little bit more of walking in the national park. Basically it was just walking 50 -100 m from the bus and than back. If I could do it one more time I would choose the half day... the lagoon and the Los Hervideros is nice, but nothing extraordinary this were the first two stops. Then we went a bit more to to the national park, via Janubio salt pans but we did not stop there. In the park we went for the optional camel ride 6 EUR/person, and it was truly the highlight of this tour, it was a real fun and experience, I recommend all to take it. After this the bus took us for the wine tasting, the area was lovely, but there was nothing to do, they offered us a little really very little amount, and only one of the dry or sweet wine sample to taste, there was a souvenir shop and thats it. After this the driver took us for lunch in Yaiza, either you could take a lunch in a local restaurant buffet for 8 EUR, it was goof but again nothing really special or you could take your time there, stop was there around 45 -60 mins. After lunch the guide took us again to follow the Route of the Volcanoes. That was really something extraordinary, unfortunately we could get out only in the area of the restaurant and all the rest of the tour was done as a sightseeing bus. To be honest if the last part would not happen, I would be really disappointed. If I can recommend, I would take only half day tour or some other tour where there is more walking in the park.

Organised from the comfort of my hotel room, online, €16 cheaper than the holiday company organised tour, but exactly the same trip. _br/_ Very knowledgeable guide. Amazing scenic tour of Timanfaya and te lava fields.

We booked for a full day trip. In the Morning, the bus picked us up at 9 o'clock in Costa Teguise. When we finished to pick up every passangers it was 11 o'clock. This is too long. It was really boring. The organizers should have figure out something for this, because in this way it is terrible._br/_ But after this, the programs were great. We really liked the El Golfo, Los Hervideros and in Timanfaya national park the geothermal demonstration. But for us it should've need more time to take photos and enjoy the places. For us it was rushing. _br/_ We've been in La Geria to visit a vinery. It is an unnecessary program and takes too much time. We could see the vineyards perfectly from the bus too. It is only because the travellers should spend money in the vinery shop. _br/_ And we hate the lunch. We booked for a buffet lunch for 8 euro/per., but most of the food was made from canned food. It was a big disappointed part for us. We tought we will get some really good pailla or some special Spanish food, but we finally get some . We felt overwhelmed because of this lunch. If someone goes for this trip, choose the lunch from the bar! Or the organizers should find a better restaurant!_br/_ The guide was very nice and funny, and he known a lot about the island, it was interesting to listen him. Thanks a lot for him!

A good and varied tour, decent value for money and a much more convenient way of seeing timanfaya than by car. Shame the trip doesn't manage to include the volcano information centre but you can't have everything

Fantastic trip, we did the full day.
Review by: Jennifer W, March 2018
This was a pleasant and enjoyable trip. The only thing is you spend an awful long time on the coach. We spent nearly 2 hours on the coach doing pick ups, and drop offs, and people swapped coaches when they were doing different trips. We only had half hour for lunch and 15 minutes in the vineyard, yet as I say, so much time spend on the pick up. Still a nice trip.

This tour was overall great. As other reviews have stated, the winery could have been skipped.

The tour was very good, great guide and driver.The cafe where we stopped was awful.I was charged €2.50 for half a cup of coffee despite me querying this several times.It is the only place used by all the coaches so a tourist trap.Why not stop in the village ,much more pretty and too many pickups too

Fab experience, long journey but worth the experience. Good for children over 5 years I would say.
Review by: johndaglish, December 2017
This was a very quick tour and if you don't mind being treated like a sheep and learning very little about the places it visited then it may suit you. It seemed like we stopped at places the guide had family at and to make a bit of money for a cafe. The visit to a vineyard was pointless as we were given a centimetre of wine to try but learnt nothing of the process making it. Ok it was a whistle stop tour but to tell you nothing was pointless. Less time at the cafe and more time learning a little more about the wine making would improve the trip.

The only reason to take this tour is to be able to do the Timanfaya crater tour, which can only be done by coach. The rest of the activities would be much better done independently in a rental car. The process of getting people on and off the coach takes forever, you have to wait for people who are inconsiderate and late. The first stop wasn't great but a couple of the others were quite good. The lunch was TERRIBLE. If you book this, pack a lunch! That way you can sit outside somewhere with a view. They funnel you into a back room of a bad restaurant, you have no choice where you sit, and the buffet food is really poor, but not as bad as the watered down wine they serve.

Very friendly guide. Loved the camel ride very good value for 6 euros. Amazing scenery. One gets to see a lot more of the National Park by being on a coach as cars are not allowed to drive around the park, just up to the restaurant. This trip is a must!

Really enjoyed this tour. All stop offs were insightful to the area and the hot water demonstration at the park really good to watch. Visit to the vineyard was not as expected - ushered in, one quick sample then encouraged to buy or leave. Lunch break a little too long if you don't choose to eat at the buffet. However would recommend anyone to take this tour if looking for good insight into the natural sights of Lanzarote. Duration of the tour was good. Picked up promptly from hotel, though some hanging around when waiting at the bus meeting point and to get picked up to be taken back to Playa Blanca.

Amazing scenery, highly recommend this trip to anyone. The tour guide was friendly and funny, the coach was clean and air conditioned... Views I'll never forget and our 4 year old enjoyed it too._br/_ Take sandwiches as the lunch stop is busy and by the time you get served you'll have little time to eat.
