“Amazing tour of Lanzarote - We visited the most popular sites in Lanzarote from the two caves to the volcano and much more. It was an amazing experience and really worth it. Be warned that it is all day and the bus does take some bends in Parque de Timanfaya, but you get to see so much in a day. The driver and the guide were so good - thank you Vanessa! For just under €90 per person with so much included it was great value.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-21
