Great trip.

Sarah_K, Mar 2026

Nice and short, no hanging around. Guide was very good. Would recommend. Didn’t do the optional camel ride but the stop was only 30mins. Had a drink and walk around instead. 2 toilet opportunities

Good for a short trip

Michelle_C, Aug 2025

This is a good trip for those that want the half day. Would like to do the wine tour included with lunch

Nice tour

Janko_A, Aug 2025

Really nice tour. You dont have to wait when you travel by bus to go to the heat experiments. What you have to do when you travel by car (1,5h hours). Camel ride was also nice and the tour through Tymafaya national park as well! Really recommended and that in 3-4hours. Also possibilties to go to the toilets at the camel place and at the place of the temperature experiments (you can also buy food and drinks here).

Amazing Tour

Jose_R, Jun 2025

A once in a lifetime tour. Easy pickup and drop off at the hotel. Driving through the Timanfaya Park was amazing; the panoramic views, nature, and volcanoes’ sites were a unique experience. Family also truly enjoyed and were excited with the camel ride. A must do while visiting Lanzarote!!!

Park great , amazing scenery , no wine tasting

Sarka_S, Jan 2025

Very mixed feelings : one is an amazing one which is the Timanfaya Park itself. The whole experience was great, driving through the area, the panoramic views, the scenery, nature, the hot stones etc. all very well organized . Our family also enjoyed the camel ride. Second part is an awful experience: prior to The actual drive to the park we spent 1 hour and 15 minutes Drive through every pick up point in a bus ( without knowing how many more pick ups there will be), so if you stay for example by Livvo hotel vulcan , count with this extra 75 minutes bus ride. What was worse is that on the way back they drove again those other pick up points first. Sooo frustrating if you have kids with you. And NO EXISTENCE of wine tasting stop. False advertise from Viator, and once you realize that that stop will not happen is actually quite late in the day… our guide was ok but not great. So overall we have paid for something that was delivered from 60%. What score you would give?

NOT AT ALL WHAT ADVERTISED!

Valentina_P, Jul 2024

Although the tour we had was interesting, was not was we were sold. As you can see from the description of this short tour on Viator website the tour included a stop in the wine region, a wine tasting as well as a stop in a restaurant. Well, that part didn’t exist. The tour was super rushed and we had no time to eat at all and all we did was a camel ride, drove through the fire mountain and if you were lucky enough to be at the front maybe you were able to watch the 3 experiments they showed us. They you had 10 min to “walk around” and just the queue for the toilet was longer than that..

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Good morning Valentina, as we have told you in several ways we are working with Viator to fix the activity information correctly. We understand your discomfort but we must also say that the itinerary is correctly explained in our activities. As for the seating arrangement on the bus, it is beyond our control as it is up to them to decide where they sit on the bus. Also, considering the time of the year, it is normal for there to be a lot of people in Timanfaya, so it is also normal for there to be queues to go to the toilet or to enter the park. In the same way, we invite you to take your complaint to Viator as well. Regards

Great!

Niah_J, Jul 2024

Great trip with demonstrations on the volcano and informative tour on the coach! Not to mention the driver was very good driving up and around mountains/volcanoes😅 Well done to the tour guide!

No Low Cost Tour in the future. Disappointed!

Charlene_T, Mar 2024

The Low Cost Tour (LCT), the tour operator, is not very accommodating and rigid. Our cruise ship was delayed by 4 hours due to last minute emergency and I notified LCT right away after our captain’s announcement. There were 8 seniors in this tour and no one purchased tour insurance. However, LCT refused to exchange with another tour or refund. So all of us lost the money. Viator also failed to facilitate this effort successfully. So we all decided to turn to other tour vendors for the rest of 111-Day World Cruise and possibly future tours.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We understand your frustration and I am very sorry that your experience was not as expected. We would like to clarify that, as mentioned in your message, the policy of our company and other tour companies is clear regarding cancellations without insurance and with less than 24 hours notice. These policies are designed to ensure efficient planning and organisation of resources and activities. Regarding the delay of your cruise, we understand that these situations are beyond everyone's control and are unfortunate. However, as a company, we must adhere to our policies to ensure fair and consistent treatment for all our customers. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve our services and communication of our policies.

It’s ok

Yun_L, Mar 2024

Ok experience, not much to see We were in coach most of the time , if this is something you would like to do… good for family with young kids tho

Tide a little so curved

David_J, Dec 2025

It is very good in general but it should be specified that the trip by camel goes apart, it also makes quite cool for being at height

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Gracias David por tu feedback. Tal y como se indica en el itinerario del producto en webs y folletos, el paseo en camello es opcional de coste extra. SAludos

Too long by bus

VALERIE_E, Oct 2025

The bus ride was very long, so you would have to plan shorter shuttles. We were at the beginning of the bus pickup. We took almost 2 hours by bus before the first visit, whereas it was 30 minutes from our hotel. The bus was so full that families were separated. There were arguments between travelers, we lost a lot of time. Once at the center of the volcano visitors, we had to hurry... only 30 minutes on site when it was the most interesting.

Unmissable

Javier_A, Jul 2025

Even though the tour is by bus, there is no other way to be in those amazing places. The dromedary ride very fun.

Eindrucksvolle Tour! Lohnt sich

Romy_K, Mar 2024

Sehr netter Tourguide - sehr bemüht und super Busfahrer, welcher uns sicher gefahren hat! Zeit Management alles super und zuverlässig! Wenn man selber mit dem Auto anreist, darf man nicht durch den Nationalpark fahren! Und das ist eigentlich der tollste Teil!

Stopps aus der Beschreibung haben gefehlt.

Andrea_F, Mar 2024

Die Reiseleiterin war sehr nett und hat gute Informationen gegeben in 3 Sprachen. Vielen Dank dafür. Folgender Teil hat jedoch gefehlt, es war nach dem optionalen Kamelritt Schluss: Weiter geht es durch die wunderschönen Weinberge der Weinregion La Geria, genießen Sie eine Führung und Weinprobe in einem lokalen Weingut, und machen Sie Halt für ein Mittagessen (auf eigene Kosten) in einem lokalen Restaurant. Somit bestand der Hauptteil der Tour daraus, alle Teilnehmer ca. 90 min lang ab meinem Zustieg aufzusammeln.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Danke, Andrea, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihr Feedback zu geben. Unsere Reiseroute war wie auf unseren Websites und Broschüren angegeben: Besuch in Timanfaya und Halt im Kamelgebiet (optionaler Kamelritt - zusätzliche Kosten). Die von Ihnen angegebene Aktivität entspricht unserer südlichen Route, die einen Halt in La Geria mit einer kleinen Weinprobe beinhaltet (+ Timanfaya, Grüner See, Halt im Kamelgebiet und Mittagessen). Wir freuen uns jedoch über Ihre positiven Kommentare.
