This was amazing! It was a day full of fun. I would highly recommend this to people that don't/can't do much walking as you are on a bus and taking as close as possible to places to visit. The tour guides were amazing and so friendly!

we have seen beautiful places in Lanzarote and spend lovely day. Everything was well organized. However, we would apprixiate if we could spend more time in individual places.

All the important pieces of Lanzarote in one day, with amusing explanations. Great experience. Even the buffet lunch of 10 € was well worth of its price.

We had a great day. Very professional staff. Keep going like this!

Very good tour guide. The nature experience speaks for itself
