Excellent tour!!! - The tour is just excellent!!! Our English guide Marcelo was amazing! He carefully explained so many things about the island, the volcanos, the agriculture and the history of Lanzarote. I really appreciated walking in the middle of the volcanos. The hike is quite easy and very pleasant! Strongly recommend it!!!

Great tour if you're interested in geography and the history of the island - The 3 hour trekking tour was great, we would definitely recommend if you're interested in geography and/or the history of the island. Our guide, Maria, was extremely knowledgeable. I would say it was more easy to medium ability due to the heat and soft ground.

Fascinating, highly recommended - Very informative, good fun as well. Highly recommended. Walking in an unreal landscape, very peaceful. Be prepared, there is no shade and it is rough underfoot in large parts. We had a chilly breeze at higher points so best carry something warm in your bag.

Don't miss - An outstanding morning. Fascinating to learn about volcanoes and to see things up close. Our guide made it fun and the walk totally exceeded our expectations. We were able to look into calderas, see different types of lava and understand how flora survives. Our pick up was easy to organise and was on time. We would totally recommend this trip.

Fantastic walking tour through the volcanic landscape - We were picked from our hotel in Playa Blanca at the prearranged time. This had been emailed to us by Vimotions just after we booked through Viator. The tour started at 10:00 but the pick up was at 08:55 so something to be aware of if using the transfer option. Prior to beginning the actual walking part we were given a brief but interesting talk to set the context for what we would see. We were also given a bag containing some light snacks and bottles of water. Poles were available if needed. We travelled in an English speaking group of 9 so there was plenty of opportunity to see everything and ask loads of questions. Mano, our guide, was excellent. His knowledge of the region and his brilliant sense of humour made the landscape come alive and we learnt so much as we trekked through the Natural Park adjacent to the Timanfaya National Park (no trekking is allowed within its boundaries so this is the closest you can get). The whole experience was wonderful as we walked through the ancient landscape and viewed the power of nature up close and personal. We stood on the edge of extinct volcanoes, stared into chimneys and learnt all about the different kinds of pyroclastic debris that forms the current landscape. The walk itself took us over different underfoot conditions from fine sandy to quite large pyroclastic pieces and there were parts where we walked up and down quite steep inclines. I would say that you need to wear appropriate footwear - walking shoes or boots as opposed to trainers - with good grip as some of the pathways were loose underfoot. We are in our mid sixties but we coped with both the length of the walk (approximately 7km) and all the conditions without any real difficulty so although I would not categorise the walk as easy, I would say it is accessible to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Overall, we both found this tour to be fascinating and highly recommended if you want to get away from the touristy part of Timanfaya and experience the serene beauty that is the real Lanzarote. The tour company were excellent throughout and are also highly recommended. Thank you Mano for a morning we will never forget.

Tedious slow excursion - I selected an English speaking tour but that is not what you get. We had a knowledgeable guide Maria but every stop was 3 times longer as she had to explain in 3 languages which made the walk all the more boring Most of the walk is along a graded road with little to see . The Volcano was reached after slow walk of 2 hours . We left early as the tour was advertised to be 3 hours long with late start at 10.15 we only returned to our car by 1 pm and we left the group way after the Volcano visit In summary learnt some good information but stops, the walk and multiple language explanations was very tedious to say at best. Plan to out at least 4-5 hrs not 3 hrs as advertised
