We had an absolutely amazing short trip through South Lanzarote, especially the stunning Timanfaya National Park. What made the experience truly special was our fantastic team: Lucian, our skilled and friendly driver, and the one and only Antonio, simply the best guide we’ve ever had!
Lucian drove us safely and smoothly through the winding volcanic roads, and Antonio — with his calm, pleasant voice — took us on a journey not only through the island itself, but also through its rich history, culture, and nature. He shared everything you could possibly wish to know, from ancient volcanic eruptions to modern Canarian life, all in a way that was both informative and entertaining.
This trip went far beyond expectations — professional, relaxing, and full of awe-inspiring landscapes. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lanzarote. Thank you, Lucian and Antonio, for an unforgettable experience!

Great trip within the national park. Amazing to see the scale of the lava fields. The driver and travel guide were great and very informative. The trip was longer than expected due to pick ups which took an hour. So we weren’t back until after 2. The camel ride was an experience but we did feel sorry for them although the guide told us they were well looked after. I would have preferred to see them in a more natural state and maybe had an experience of feeding and learning about them rather than the ride.

A great tour with a fantastic tour guide. We learnt a lot in a fun and interesting way. He also new about the large queues at the volcano which we didn't have to queue. The tour is well worth it!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello! Great to hear you had such an enjoyable and fun experience on the tour.
We’re really pleased that you found the guide informative and engaging, and that you were able to enjoy the visit without long waiting times. One of the advantages of our tours is that everything is carefully planned in advance, allowing us to time the visits and help avoid the busiest queues whenever possible, so you can make the most of your day !🌞
Thank you very much for your recommendation, we truly appreciate it. Kind regards, First Minute Travel🧡

Once you get the pick ups over and done with, the tour was interesting. It took over an 1.5 hrs to do pick up and then head to a camel trek if you wanted to pay extra. We decided to grab a cuppa. We then went on to the volcanic national park, which was amazing to view, but the stay in the park was short. Our driver was amazing to navigate the road, but the stop at the wine tasting for 20mins was not really relevant for this tour.

We had a great trip to Timanfaya today.We had a camel ride on the way there which was optional but great fun for 11€.
Our guide was Michael and he had a great sense of humour making us laugh throughout and was very informative.The driver Luciano was a great driver and was particularly skilled in the narrow roads through the craters.We had a short stop at the winery on the way back which was also nice.Really enjoyable and great value trip!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🧡
We’re really happy to hear that you had such a great trip to Timanfaya National Park and that you enjoyed the optional camel ride. We’re delighted to know you appreciated the guide’s sense of humour and the information shared throughout the tour. We’ll also pass your kind words on to the driver navigating those narrow crater roads truly requires great skill. It’s wonderful to hear you also enjoyed the short stop at the winery on the way back. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you again on another adventure in Lanzarote! 🌋✨ Kind regards, First Minute Travel

The volcano journey is mostly on the coach so you are unable to get out and take photos so have to resort to taking photos through the coach windows which is terrible with the glare of the sun.
Billy_G, Feb 2026
When we had booked it decided to rain heavily the whole morning, whilst that was unavoidable and because of that the crater tour part of it was cancelled. Also, on the other parts of the tour when we left the bus, everyone got wet, as expected, but after repeated requests to turn off air conditioning on the bus it would only be turned off for 5 minutes and then back on. As mentioned previously it was raining and with that it wasn’t the hottest of days so getting back into an air conditioned bus was very cold. There was also no partial refund for the missed part of the tour. If the weather hadn’t been so bad it would have been a good event and well worth the money but the rain and the failure to think of the consequences of the weather turned it into a disaster.

A very informative and interesting tour. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and clearly loves his job and this island. Shout out too to our driver Tony who did a fantastic job. Thank you both for looking after us
Treva_R, Jan 2026
The tour was good. Our driver and guide were great. My only issue was the time it took to actually get started. We were on the bus almost two hours picking up other people in the morning and then we were the last to be dropped off after the tour.
Nicola_O, Dec 2025
This was a great experience. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and the tour bus was modern, clean and well driven along some very small windy roads. This was the perfect length for a family ranging from 5 to 71 years. If you're expecting lava, there isn't any because if there was the volcano would erupt any minute 😂. There are some cool demos to show how hot the rocks are which we all loved. Brilliant tour and well worth the money.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 We’re thrilled you and your family enjoyed the tour, the guide, and the bus. We’re glad you liked the demonstrations too. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, First Minute Travel✨🌋

If you want to see the volcanos and volcanic landscape this is for you. A local company doing a great job, very informative and at a price less than half that of a cruise ship tour. We would recommend this company and try one off there other tours the next time we come to Lanzarote.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello! 🌋 Thank you so much for your wonderful words. We’re so happy you enjoyed the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and found the tour informative. It means a lot to us that you’d recommend our company 🧡 We can’t wait to welcome you again on one of our other tours next time! Kind regards, First Minute Travel

Our guide Michael and driver Tony were absolutely brilliant and hilarious, made the tour very enjoyable. The crater tour was fantastic and scary at times, but our driver Tony was very skilled and got us through the thin roads with ease, Michael was extremely informative and the views were incredible.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello! 🌋 Thank you so much for your kind words We’re thrilled you enjoyed the crater tour and the incredible views.

We were picked up at 8.45 am at Costa Teguise but then spent the next 1.5 hours travelling down the coast picking up other groups and some were doing a different tour to us.
It was quicker on the way back but it was 2.45 pm when we got back to Costa Teguise.
Michael was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and the tour itself was very good. I enjoyed the demonstrations at the visitors centre as well
The drive around the park was amazing and we felt very safe going around hairpin bends with Miguel driving.
The camel ride was fun too.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Paul was an amazing guide on our tour, charming and knowledgeable with a great voice. The tour into the park was incredible and it felt like we got to see everything and learn the history in depth while avoiding traffic and wait times that others who went individually had to experience. Cute stop at a local winery too. 10/10.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊

Too much bus and not enough sightseeing. Total of for and a half hours on 50+ seater coaches. 15 mins on the Volcan. 30 minutes at a bodega
Liam_M, Oct 2025
The Mosque in Kairoun was a highlight but the Collesun at El Jem was the highlight. Absolutely stunning and accessible.
Our driver raj’ was informative and helpful. Friendly while guiding us through the medina streets.
Thank you.
Samantha_H, Sep 2025
Interesting and amazing views, the guide was great, funny and knowledgeable.
The CD they played when viewing the cola and was not so good…
Martin_B, Sep 2025
They do not arrive to collect you when agreed. We booked and agreed 8.30am at a designated spot and without consolation, it was changed to 9.40am at a completely different pickup spot.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hello, we sent you a confirmation message through the same platform where you made the booking, with all the pick-up details: the bus stop next to your accommodation (just a 5-minute walk) and the confirmed time at 9:40 AM. The day before yesterday, when we received your message at 8:45, we re-sent and highlighted the previous confirmation with all the details to make sure everything was clear. We hope you enjoyed the excursion and thank you for your understanding! ✨Kind regards,First Minute Travel
Vitalina_H, Sep 2025
One of the worst experiences ever. I waited for the driver at the specified location, but nobody showed up. I waited for half an hour, and during that time no one even tried to contact me. I reached out to the company requesting a refund, only to be told that the driver “didn’t see me.” Terrible experience — my last day on the island was completely ruined. This company only cares about making money; they absolutely do not accommodate their customers.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hello,
As we mentioned to you, you were not at the agreed meeting point. We picked up several families, but unfortunately, you were not there. We truly regret that this happened. Please know that we always prioritize our clients over money. We offered to reschedule the excursion for another day, but you didn’t have another day available. We have double-checked the message we sent you with the meeting location, and it was sent correctly.
We’re very sorry that your experience was not as expected. Have a nice day!
Esther_B, Jul 2025
The tour was great! Company went out of their way for us. We’d waited at the wrong bus stop and so one of the team came and collected us in her car and drove us to the next stop.
Vicki_M, Jul 2025
Lovely experience, great trip and would highly recommend this.
Was a perfect 1/2 day tour, the winery was beautiful with stunning views, and it was so interesting learning about the history of the volcanos 🌋
The experiments were also impressive and some beautiful views of the volcanos on the bus tour around them.
Lelde_V, Jun 2025
It was amazing excursion, with plenty of interesting information about Lanzarote and volcanos. All activities were inter and vine degustation was surprise . Camel riding was the best!. Our driver Luciano was very professional
Kalpana_V, Jun 2025
This was the best part of our Lanzarote trip and I would highly recommend this!
The timings are great, you do not have to wake up early or spend hours sitting in the bus. We were picked up at 8:45 AM and dropped by 2 PM, giving us a lot of time later to sit by the beach and relax.
The trip was amazing. We did not do the camel ride which was optional buy we clicked some really good pictures with the camels. And that is not charged, completely free..
The free experiments were for 5 -10 mins, but the next part of the trip was worthwhile. The 20 mins drive through yhe volcanoes was an amazing experience. They played an audo recording of the history of these volcanoes and it was quite an experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that the timing worked well for you.
It’s great that you had plenty of time afterward to relax by the beach🏖️. Even though you didn’t take the camel ride, we’re glad you got some special photos🐪📸
We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed the volcano drive so much 🌋🎧. The history of these incredible places is fascinating, and we strive to make every detail part of an unforgettable experience.
We hope to welcome you back soon to Lanzarote to discover even more amazing sights together. Kind regards, First Minute Travel🌞✨

Took this trip unsure what to think looking at other reviews but cheaper than TUI and with more stops.
Good info all along the way and did the camel ride too.

Short trip to see the main volcano areas. Guide and driver very good, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Bus was in great condition and driven courteously and safely. Nice to see consideration made for disabled passengers too. Only con was spending time at stops, such as the wine tasting, which was a sample not a tasting and more about trying to bring custom to the shop/winery than anything about wine, understandably this is to make money, but it felt very much like they only wanted us there for that very reason and I felt that time could have been better spent on the volcano
Response from Host, May 2025
Hello!
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! 😊
We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and felt well taken care of by both the guide and the driver 🚍🌋
It’s also great to know that the condition of the bus and the attention to disabled passengers met your expectations. We put a lot of effort into ensuring our buses are always in the best condition, so your comment means a lot to us 🙌
We’re sorry to hear the wine stop didn’t feel as enriching as expected – your comments are truly valuable, and we’ll take them into account to keep improving 🍷
Thanks again, and we’d love to welcome you back to explore more of Lanzarote with us! ☀️🌴

Camel ride great, volcano tour interesting but we had to use 3 coaches wait for second coach in middle of a village for 20 mins and that was after coach was 30 mins late at start of day. Adding insult to injury were told nearest pickup was 30 min walk from our villa yet enroute stopped for pickup 5 mins from our villa. So the part we paid extra for was really poor only saving grace was the actual host he was funny but sorry this was very badly organised
