Très belle excursion avec une explication et un guide en français. Elle se prénomme Rachel. Elle est super. Excursion dans la joie et la bonne humeur. Le jardin des cactus est agréable. Beaucoup d'humour et d informations donnés de la part du guide. Prise n e charge au départ de l hôtel et transfert en car. Repas à 14heure sur un bateau. Visite de la lagomar et de la graciosa en ferry. Journée géniale.

I’m someone who does not like coach tours so was not looking forward to this trip, but wow! I was surprised.

Firstly it’s very well organised, and ran like clockwork- Raquel was fantastic and an excellent guide.

You are not on the coach for hours! (As I expected) and there is a lot of free time to explore. Lagomar is a hidden treat! The Cactus Park was beautiful and finally Graciosa was just fantastic. A good few hours here to relax or explore.

So much is included (entrance to both attractions and also your ferry tickets, and the Paella lunch/salad we had was delicious. Free beer and wine at lunch too plus honey brandy shots! If you wanted them- well it would be rude to say no!!

Highly recommend doing this trip if your wanting to see more of
Lanzarote but don’t have loads of time to spare.

This excursion was our best day! We had so much fun and was blown away with each visit. Lagomar is jaw dropping and you are given the perfect amount of time to look at everything. Cacti garden was good as well, but the boat over to La Gracios and the beaches was the best part of the trip.
Rachel was a fantastic tour guide! Very relaxed and made everything so clear. What a lovely job she has 😁

Thank you coast to coast!

This was a wonderful day out!! We were picked up close to where we were staying the guide Raquel/Rachel was amazing giving a very thorough commentary in several languages on the way. She was very informative and interesting.

The only negative I would say is because there were at least four other nationalities on the coach other than ourselves it got a bit wearing to hear everything over and over. I really don’t know how the guide does it she must be exhausted!

Lag o mar was the first stop, we had visited this before but it was nice to see it again and it’s really worth a visit. Then onto the cactus garden which was interesting and onto La Graciosa. It was a very windy day and I’ve not got good sea legs but I was fine!

In docking we had some time before lunch when we could either go round the village with our guide or go off on our own. We walked round with the guide and visited the little church which was charming.

Then onto a boat where we were welcomed with some cava, and served little bowls of salad and paella as well as having a choice and top ups of red or white wine water and beer.

I note others have said about a vegetarian option, on our tour the guide did ask several times if anyone was a vegetarian or had special dietary needs to let her know in advance so she could let the providers know.

The staff serving the food were lovely efficient and friendly the guide was even helping them as well!

It was lovely to have the lunch on the boat and we all had our own tables which was good.

We then had time I think about 2 hours free time to have a wander around. La Graciosa is charming it’s like something out of an old western film with deserted sandy roads and little buildings. It would be nice to go back and spend longer there.

All in all a very enjoyable day out!!

We really enjoyed the day. The visits were very interesting and long enough to enjoy Lagomar and the jardin de Cacti. Short ferry ride to the island - very pretty, nice lunch, friendly staff. A long day (10-6.30) good value for money.
Negatives. The tour guide left without us from the cacti garden although we were on time but it was quickly sorted with a call to the office and the coach returned, the guide was very apologetic and it didn’t spoil the day, (luckily I had booked online and had details of tour operator on my phone others just had paper slips that were collected so just something to keep in mind.) Also there is a walk from the coach to the ferry, about 10 mins through town, this wasn’t expected and although not far it was hot and I wished I had kept my trainers on.

Very good content of the trip. There was enough time to explore each stop. The only complain I could have is combining 3 different language groups but it was not a biggie.

We really wanted to visit Lagomar Omar sharifs house so this your ticked the wish list! . Raquel the tour guide deserves a medal, translating all verbals into 4 or 5 languages & she was amazing ! We did however find that this tour was far too large & involved such long waits for each translation it was exhausting & we lost interest. . The trip felt very disorganised at the beginning as we were picked up by a pretty grumpy driver who spoke no English. There was zero explanation as to what was going on! The same driver took us back on the return, he was driving like a maniac going far too fast. He then called our name to get off the bus at a completely unknown stop with no explanation! We were led to believe we were returning to the same hotel he picked us up from but no, we had to get out on a random street with no clue where we were! It turned out to be a 3 minute walk from the original place, just glad I wasn’t on my own as that would have been quite scary & disorientating. Lagomar house was truly amazing. The cactus garden is also good. Personally, the trip to the island would not be our first choice, very little to do once there. The sea was terribly choppy too for the boat trip. Lunch was a bit of a disaster for my partner as it turned out to be sea food paella & he doesn’t eat fish. The tour guide said we should have told them when we booked however Viator who we booked through made no mention of this so we had no idea! . Luckily one of the boat staff very kindly gave him some rice with just chicken, the boat staff were all very friendly & helpful. The trip also took 8 hours and not the 6 as advertised. Personally, we felt a bit disappointed with the trip, far too many people on the double decker coach & too many different languages. We went on a much smaller trip this week which was a much better experience & we would look for similar next time too, it was a lot more personal.

We enjoyed our tour hosted by Raquel. We only had a week in Lanzarote and couldn’t get car hire so this was a great substitute trip. We were collected and dropped off at the hotel. I had booked the trip with TUI. Same price as other operators, I think.
We stopped at Lagomar (brilliant), cactus gardens (ditto) and finally the boat over to Isla de Graciosa. The boat ride was a little bit hairy as the seas were high. The crew were amazing and the boat was masterfully steered through the very narrow passage of the port over to the island.
Lunch was cooked by the crew. Paella. All very hospitable- they did really well.
Thank you for a lovely day out.
