Very comfortable way to see Timanfaya National Park. Super Domingo was certainly super when navigating the very narrow volcano road! It's really easy to join the tour and we got to see all the highlights that we wanted. We didn't do the camel ride but it was fine to take photos from the car park

Enjoyed the tour. Volcano was crowded but very interesting. Guide was good. Camels were 11 euros each, but thought worth it. Cruise ship offered the exact same tour at twice the price.

Great tour ! Really recommend to visit the thimalya National park by bus with GYG . It is the most convenient way to visit the mentioned attractions of the island without queuing

It was worth taking this tour. Covers the 3 popular attractions in south Lanzarote, not rushing through and the tour guide Andre was very good.

It was a great way to enjoy the day and see lots of things. Our guide Erich was funny.
