Olaya was our guide and picked us up at our hotel. I traveled with my two teenage children and didn’t really have an agenda planned out, as I was waiting on a local to give us guidance. Olaya did just that! Her family has been on the island for generations and she shared her knowledge with us the whole day. We started with the amazing cliffs, the green lake and then onto Timanfaya and she made the experience easy and efficient. I’m so glad we were not on a big bus. Then we went to the lava caves, which were stunning, and César Manriques house. It was a long day but I truly felt we experienced Lanzarote in the best way possible. Olaya gave us one of the best travel days I’ve ever had and she is so kind and enjoyable. I can’t recommend this company and Olaya enough.

Itinerary
The eruptions of Timanfaya 300 years ago forced half the population to leave the island and try to make a living away from Lanzarote. However, part of our family remained, enduring the 6 endless years during which 25 volcanoes buried 11 villages and the best farmland. On this tour you will not only enjoy lunar landscapes of unique beauty. By visiting the national park you will also understand what the eruptions of Timanfaya mean to us. Once inside the Timanfaya National Park we'll test the high temperatures recorded just below the earth's surface, followed by a tour around the amazing and unforgettable Route of the volcanoes.
A photo-stop will be made at the beautiful volcano El Golfo, well known for its green lagoon.
Continuing along the rugged coastline we'll see a stunning panoramic view of Los Hervideros with its many tidal pools and the salt flats of. Janubio, the largest in the Canary Islands.
In the way back to Arrecife, we'll drive and stop at La Geria the wine district where you can take pictures and taste the local wine
Los Jameos Del Agua, a tunnel formed by cooling lava, decorated by the famous local artist, Cesar Manrique. Its salt water lagoon is home to a species of small blind crab, unique in the world.

A truly memorable experience for ourselves and the children. Angela was informative and wonderful with the kids, who were fascinated by every stop along the way. Highly recommend!
Our guide/driver, Angela, was not prompt in responding to questions prior to our cruise. At first, she wanted to pick our group up at 8am but our ship did not dock until that time. Then she said she'd pick us up at 11am. I said we could start earlier but she said 11am was fine. It was not fine!! When she did pick us up, she said there was only time to do 2 out of the 5 things on the itinerary!! She had a very nasty attitude when I questioned her. We only went to Jameos Del Agua and Timanfaya National Park for a bus ride around the landscape (suppodely you cannot hike/walk around anymore). She did stop at an overlook for a photo op. We did not go to El Golfo, Los Hervideros and La Geria as listed on the Viator Itinerary. Extremely disappointing, especially since Viator had also tried to contact her (or the tour operator) to let them know that 1 couple could not make the trip as the husband was in the hospital. They were unable to reach her in a timely manner and therefore we were unable to manage my booking or get a partial refund. This is not typical of Viator experiences as I have been using them for decades. Extremely disappointed especially since this was a PRIVATE tour. I DO NOT recommend this tour unless you confirm the tour operator will do the COMPLETE Itinerary!!
Superb trip with friends exploring the south of Lanzarote. Nick and our driver were fantastic in making the 5 hour tour both interesting and informative. We were able to see the camels as they arrived and by not hanging around for a camel ride got to see a beautiful Lanzarote village instead that had a n amazing Nativity display. Can't recommend this private tour enough especially after seeing all the crammed tourist buses in the National Park!
4 hour trip primarily homing in on Fire Mountain arranged a few months ago. Private tour with driver/ guide whose English was very good went totally to plan. We were given opportunity to add in any other places of interest we wanted to visit. Yes, trip expensive but well worth this particular trip of a lifetime. Thank you to all those involved in planning and delivering a great tour on the day.
We’re a family of four with two children aged 9 and 7, and we did a private half-day (5-hour) tour with Lanzarote Experience Tours. From the start, our guide Angela and the expert driver Christina were friendly and welcoming. The tour included some brilliant stops like Timanfaya National Park and a camel ride (additional costs payable) – both of which were definite highlights for all of us. Angela had loads of interesting facts and stories about Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape and history, which made everything more enjoyable. What stood out was how family-friendly the whole experience was. Angela made a real effort to keep the children involved, asking them questions and sharing fun bits of information along the way – it kept them engaged and made the tour feel really personal. The pace was just right and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. All in all, it was a great way to explore the island and a lovely part of our Lanzarote trip. We’d definitely recommend Lanzarote Experience Tours to other families looking for something relaxed, interesting, and easy to enjoy together.
I apreciate the places that we saw. The tour guide was informative and friendly. However my biggest complaint and to be fair maybe I didn't read the fine print but this ended up costing quite a bit extra as no entry fee's in anything were included. Unlike other tours I have booked usually they specify upfront what the extra costs are that aren't included. This was not the case here.
Buenas tardes. Está explicado en la descripción del tour privado que las entradas no están incluidas en el precio. Lamento que usted no haya leído toda la descripción del tour. Y me alegra saber que no tiene quejas con la actuación del guía. Atentamente. Carol
Angela gave us a fantastic tour of Lanzarote. She speaks excellent English, is a great driver, and knows everthing about the Island. Her van was very comfortable for the four of us and could easily accomodate 6. We saw the 3 main attraction on the island: the Cactus Garden, the Lava Tube and Timanfaya Volcano Park. She also drove us along the cliffs for views of the nearby smaller islands. We thouroughly enjoyed our time with Angela. I highly recommend this tour and Angela as a guide if you're ever on Lanzarote Island (one of the Canary Islands).
The tour was excellent. The guide was very informative and pleasant and speaks fluent english. Itinerary is flexible and it is possible to tailor it to to your preferences. I would highly recommend this tour. It was great day and great experience.
We loved it! Angela, the guide, is amazing and explains everything in detail. It has been a great success to include Timanfaya in the tour, since you avoid the long lines that form if you go with your private car. We plan to return to the island, since we have left things to see and without a doubt we will hire it again, since you can adapt the tour based on your interests. Super recommended!
