Amazing, scenic, exhilarating and extremely informative! Nacho was fantastic, from start to finish. I had booked this bike tour for me and my boyfriend, I had little to none experience on a mountain bike and my partner is very experienced, Nacho ensured that we both had the best experience together and individually. It was so beautiful cycling around the different volcanoes as well as listening to all of the history about them. Nacho picked us up at our hotel in Porto Del Carmen and dropped us back which was really helpful and saved us from getting a bus to the starting point. He also stopped on many occasions to teach us about the history of different volcanoes. You can tell that Nacho loves meeting new people and we felt so comfortable with him for the whole trip, he was very nice and had taken plenty of photos and videos which are lovely to look back on. I would 100% recommend this trip. Amazing tour guide + great experience all around!! He even brought us energy bars and gels!

This was amazing! It was a day full of fun. I would highly recommend this to people that don't/can't do much walking as you are on a bus and taking as close as possible to places to visit. The tour guides were amazing and so friendly!

Great tour! Alejandro was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the history and the geography of the area. He was also very prepared and had rain jackets, snacks, and water. Highly recommend.

we have seen beautiful places in Lanzarote and spend lovely day. Everything was well organized. However, we would apprixiate if we could spend more time in individual places.

Very good tour guide. The nature experience speaks for itself
