A top-notch day trip with guide Daniella. Beautiful geothermal experiences at Timanfaya Park. At Cueva Verdes, a 2 km walk through the caves. And to finish, a superb discovery at Jameos Agua.
The places we visited were great attractions but the tour itself was disappointing. Timanfaya visitor centre was very rushed with only about 20 mins there to see the experiments have refreshments and use the bathroom. The tour guide, I think Rachel, was rude to other guests multiple times and very impatient. She berated a young couple for speaking to each other in French on the bus and again for using the bathroom at the end of one of our stops. The lava tunnels were amazing but we were herded through, shuffling like penguins. It would have been much more enjoyable to explore at our own leisure. The tour would have been more informative if they weren’t catering to 3-4 different languages in one go as this was very confusing, especially at the end when important information about changes buses was being explained. A lot of time spent on the bus was expected, the driver was excellent navigating sharp turns and steep drops in Timanfaya. We spent some time on another bus, this guide, Eric was very friendly and helpful!
It was a very eventful and well-organized tour. The tour guide on the bus was very nice, and Christina conveyed a lot of information in a witty and charming manner. It was a successful conclusion to our Lanzarote trip. We booked the highlight tour with Timanfaya, Jameos Agua, and Cueva Verde.
The actual experiences themselves were really good and impressive, the only downsides were a fair bit of coach driving and also we didn’t get much time at each location (appreciate they have to manage capacity etc).
Disappointed by timfaya, as well as by the place where we ate at lunch , a cafeteria not great, but very nice accompanist, jameos aqua and cueva verdes very nice.
Very nice experience! Beautiful places A downside on the meeting point indications at the start via the app. The route given is wrong... we almost missed the start!!!!
First rate guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time.
Some amazing highlights of Lanzarote, with a very knowledgeable tour guide and some interesting insights of the island above and below ground. Well worth doing.
Had the most unpleasant experience. I normally dont write negative reviews, but the behaviour of the guide Christina was appaling. My wife was unwell and needed to use the restroom. Christina refused on the pretext of shortage of time. She threatened to report me to the company!! She was doing the guide in 3 languages - Spanish, english and german. The english component was less that 20%. It was hard to understand her and she got annoyed when I asked her for instructions. She said I should have read the information sent by the company before the tour. Rude, unprofessional, uncouth and shameful behaviour from Christina.
This is a great day trip which includes entry into three separate chargeable sites so not bad value for money either. The driver, the tour guide and the buffet lunch (€15 including wine) were excellent. Would definitely recommend!
