Extensive tour of the West! - We drove to the hotspots and you could stop everywhere to enjoy yourself and take photos! There was also a great tour guide who told us about the island, its sights and culture! Perfect for a first impression!

Magical places in a magical land. - An excellent experience with an excellent host Katsia. We had a great tour that seemed to pass very quickly. Every stop was better than the last. We were sorry to see the day go by so quickly. We seem to see everything just ahead of the clouds and the fog. The weather was excellent, and the drive was extremely pretty with many sites to see. It's hard to judge what was better than the last and it makes us want to come back to visit the island at least once or twice more.

Great tour! - We loved the crater lake and were lucky enough that the clouds were not covering it. We also liked the blue and green lakes. All the landscape and towns were beautiful. We really liked our guide Gonzalo. He was informative, knowledgeable of the area and had a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed our lunch in the little restaurant by the water. It was a great day!

I only gave this a one... - I only gave this a one star because unfortunately our flight was unable to land the day before so we did not arrive until the morning of the tour, after the meeting time so I did not get to go on the tour, plus no refund :( since I could not cancel.
