It was an okay trip but some of it felt a bit pointless. Especially the vineyard visit. This trip could’ve easily done without the 40 minute stop there as you only get a thimble of wine. The trip is incredibly touristy and you’re on a big bus for most of it. Incredibly busy at the national park. Stunning views though
Excellent trip, well organised and very informative trip host Victoria
A very good experience with a lot packed into a half day excursion - a wide range of island sites. The tour guide was friendly and informative keeping everything going smoothly & efficiently. The booking experience was great also, the tour company quickly in touch to help arrange our pick up point. My only question mark is actually that perhaps too much added for a half day. Maybe better to drop the salt farm and add a bit more time to all the other stops - but I guess there’s a full day option instead.
Definitely worth the money and time
Picked up on time then transferred to another but after 25 mins. Next guide was a nice, helpful man called Andrea but his English was very hard to understand so we learnt nothing about Timanfaya. Bit expensive for what we got
Good value. Short time at each place but a lot more included than expected - perfect if you just want an introduction to what’s around. Amazing view and great driver and host. Thank you 😎
Excellent informative tour. The tour was well organised, pick-up exactly as arranged. Very good translation from tour guide. Nice restaurant for a very good lunch, this was extra on this particular tour.
Cut the trip by an hour by foregoing the “wine tasting”. Totally pointless in travelling to the bodega to only be given a “thimble” of wine.
Really enjoyed the visit to the Timanfaya volcanoes, it was a unique opportunity to see something I haven't seen before. The trips to El Golfo and the salt plant were also really interesting. The stop for wine tasting is neither here nor there - the taster is a small sip of a single wine. The main advantage of that stop was the chance to grab a small snack and a cold drink (not the wine!). The driver and guide were both friendly and the enthusiasm of our guide boosted the experience.
excelent tour very well laid out without damaging the natural beauty of the area of outstanding natural events, not over crouded
