This is a full day tour - and as per the other one taken with this company well organised and professionally run. The guide - Andrea was highly proficient in English - enthusiastic and capable of marshalling a bus load of visitors with ease. She made the day so enjoyable and the bus driver managed challenging roads with great skill. Well worth the time and money - and meant we beat the crowds to the caves which was great as they are very confined and difficult to negotiate in places - you need to be up for lots of steps in a dimly lit series of passages, very low in parts and uneven. The lunch stop provided a pretty straight forward meal for 10 euros - bit rushed but fine nonetheless and worth it. Didn’t do the camel ride but it seemed a bit short. Sure it was enjoyed by some! The drive through the national park was truly memorable and it felt like being on Mars. Felt a bit more time at the Cesar section where the lava tunnel met the sea would have been good as there are a series of very interesting and well laid out exhibits and displays which we had to rush at the end as we didn’t find them until we tried to find our way out. Would have happily skipped the wine stop - but again a matter of personal preference.
