Christine our tour guide was very informative, funny and very approachable. The natter is worth seeing and the old town of Teguise was beautiful. The Ceasar Manrique foundation was absolutely stunning, the house was a throwback yo the 60/70's...the imagination to utilise the spaces was amazing, well worth the visit, would highly recommend this tour as its only the half day and packs in a few great attractions
Excellent organisation. Guide was very good. Bus pick up procedure could have been a little clearer as different trips using the same bus. Bus number would have been helpful. Cesar Manrique’s house was well worth the visit.
That there are several guests that only choose to go to the market Otherwise I really enjoyed this halv day tour.
It was a very enjoyable few hours but I felt there could be more time needed at the market. Our tour guide was lovely and very informative but I was the only English speaking tourist with all Germans. The tour guide tried to switch me to another group with more English but was not possible.
Very interesting: wonderful places! The view island Graciosa is exceptional, jameos de acqua as well. The cavas de los verdes very particular... although some passages inside the caves are a bit dangerous and unsuitable for those suffering from vertigo. The guide very skilled at explaining to tourists and extremely dynamic
Very good value. Ran like clockwork. A good way to visit both places quickly and easily. The market is pretty generic but you can find good stuff if you sieve through the dross.
Big market but mostly all stalls selling the same stuff. Local shops were interesting and very reasonably priced ..........
A big market, with bus 03 you can go but at 14.00 the market is already closing and the place is cleaned up and you want to take the bus back, unfortunately there is no bus anymore and you have to rely on a taxi that can not be found and costs you to puerto del carmen €40,-
Bus was 20 minutes late ( aright it happens) but very confusing with so many buses and the tour guide almost told me it was not my bus until I seen my name on the list ( however the tour guide was the best part of the trip and the house ) market was aright but abit too much of the same stuff. The tour guide was very nice and explained everything so well also I was late as I got lost the way back could be better signed and such and he waited for me however the biggest let down is got less than a hour in the ceser house where it said it was going to be 2 hours .
We paid for 4 tickets to visit Teguise Market and Cesar Manrique Foundation, but we were only taken to Teguise Market as the Tour guide did not think English speaking customers would be interested in Cesar Manrique Foundation. We were bitterly disappointed as we had booked this trip just to go to the Cesar Manrique Foundation. Viator have refused to reimburse the price of entry for the Cesar Manrique Foundation, even though the Tour guide told us they would. I will not be using Viator again!
