Amazing guide in Paul, whose knowledge of all aspects of the tour was not only highly informative but delivered in a way that provided ease of listening. Responded well to additional aspects of knowledge when requested and was generally a lovely person to have leading us.

This was an excellent all-day tour around 5 important landmarks created by the artist. Paul, the tour guide was excellent, switching seamlessly between Spanish and English and always open to answering questions. On the way between sites he explained the history and culture of the island as well as relating with enthusiasm interesting facts about Manrique himself. The only disappointment was the buffet lunch which didn't cater for vegetarians. However we made up for it with delicious apple pie and coffee at the Mirador del Rio.

Be prepared to drive all the way here (a long drive if you're staying in the south west if the island) only to be turned away and told to come back another day, with no refund on your ticket.

They don't offer timed slots (is it really that difficult to do that?) so youve no way of knowing if the sole small car park will be full.

It's a ploy to force you to go with the tour bus excursions (who are never turned away).

Don't bother unless you've time to waste.

Fantastic tour. Paul, the local guide was really knowledgeable about everything to do with Lanzarote.

The Cesar Manrique tour was amazing- loved every stop. This was a much better tour than one we did earlier with LCT tours.
The cactus garden and the view from Mirador del Rio are amazing

Excellent day out, Paul the guide spoke with knowledge and passion about his home island. The timings of each stop were perfect and I never felt rushed at any point in the day. I would recommend this excursion to anyone as a way of finding out a little more about Cesar Manrique and his influence on the island

Great day out and enough time at all locations.
The statue at the first stop was interesting, followed by the cactus garden which is vast. The green caves are awesome it’s a must do.
The Mirador del Rio view and drop is spectacular.
Lunch at Harris was a buffet but well worth the €12 each and finally Cezar Manrique’s house is brilliant and suns the man’s taste up. A truly wonderful day out.
Your company and guide was first rate. I would definitely recommend

Knowledgeable local guide who is passionate about his island. Transport was on time and very comfortable. The various stops were most interesting and informative, each adding some further information about the well known Cesar Manrique. We enjoyed the easy pace, frequent stops and chance to see the island from the comfort of a well driven bus. We highly recommend this trip.

I took my partner here when our cruise ship docked for the day in Lanzarote, I love the artist Manrique and have been to this site several times and would highly recommend it

Booking and payment were easy. We were told very late that we would be picked up, but it never happened. After a long phone call in English/Spanish, an employee picked us up and took us to the bus. That was on the first tour with First Travel. The second time we waited at the bus stop and after the pick-up time had long since passed and we called, the bus arrived at 9:46 a.m. (instead of 9 a.m.) with a long delay. It took until 10:27 a.m. for all participants to be collected, when the last guests got on. The bus was completely full and our guide spoke 300km of Spanish, mixed with English sentences, not a word of German. It was difficult to follow him. The first tour went through the volcanic region and with this trip the bus, unlike the private cars, did not have to wait and was also allowed to drive the special route through the volcanic region. Thanks to the good bus driver Roberto, this daring adventure went well and was a success. On this tour the guide also explained things clearly and sufficiently in four languages. The process was fine, but the lunch that was offered (at an additional cost if you ate it) was not typical for the country. It would have been better to be prepared with drinks and a snack.

A whistle stop tour of key sites of interest but a long hot exhausting day. The cactus garden is fabulous. Could have spent more hours there. Did the cuvas Verde which were spectacular. Manrique house interesting but thought there might be some art there. More about his playboy lifestyle. House built underground is an architectural gem. Excellent multi lingual guide Roland. Lunch venue was about the worst of Spanish food but cheap. Not worth it if you are veggie or vegan.
