Dagtrip naar Timanfaya en het zuiden van Lanzarote

A brilliant day showing the highlights of the island Only negative, the wine tasting, only one taste and no information about how it's grown or made

Die Timamfaya Südtour hat uns als Familie sehr gefallen. Wir konnten sehr schöne Teile der Insel bewundern. Die Reisebegleiter waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. Uns hat es sehr zugesagt, dass während der Reise alles auf drei Sprachen übersetzt wurde. Auch über den Preis über die gebuchte Seite konnten wir uns nicht beklagen. Nur das Essen für 10€ pro Person, in einem überfüllten und engen Restaurant, mit einem schlechten Buffet hätten wir gerne ausgelassen. Alles in allem hatten wir einen schönen Tag und würden dieses Erlebnis weiter empfehlen.

First Minute Travel - Tour Company Wow! From Start to Finish, an absolute sham. The Bus was Late, 45 minutes actually. Bus after bus arrived, not ours we were told. Finally a bus arrived but they told us we would have to Transfer at Yaiza village. We sat waiting at Yaiza for another 30 minutes. We were told we would have to Repeat this scenario on the way back return journey. Okay so we are now 1hour 15 minutes into our Tour and we’re only in Yaiza Village. Something is wrong.. right?? We booked our tour from Canada and paid 120.00 CAD. First stop, the Green Lagoon, El Golfo, we were told we had only 15 minutes, to shuffle up to the view point to see over the cliff. No time for the gift shop, the beach or to use a washroom. On the bus again, out of breath, for to rush for one small glimpse at this spectacular sight! Oh well.. I guess we’ll have to come back in a taxi or regular bus, to spend any time here. Next stop Timanfaya, bus driver honking at private cars in queue, there’s a small altercation with a car that has decided to abandon the line up as it is a very long wait. We could see people having to relieve themselves on the side of the road whilst family members shielded them with a towel. If one was to take ‘ill’ there was barely any way out of Timanfaya that didn’t involve hold-ups and long wait times. A very hair raising ride through the volcanic park on a double decker bus, on a road that looked only wide enough for an atv - seriously, no room for any mistakes. No warnings about that hell ride. No room for mechanical failures or passengers to disembark the bus in case of emergency. Geria - the vineyards, no time left, to even walk the gift shop, which was beautiful, and deserved time from customers to browse and choose merchandise. Return journey: Again, transfers and waits. The Day - 1 hours and 5 minutes total time of visit to 3 sights. In a 7 hour day we had only 1 hour and 5minutes Total time and 3 sights. What Do You Think, Trip Adviser? Good value? The sights are definitely worth seeing but the Tour Trip we had.. forget it.
