Received an app the night before with a photo of the pick-up location (was a 2-minute walk) and of the car. Guide Vanessa was already there (we were 10 minutes early). Had a nice day with enough private time in the house and in the cactus garden. We were able to take beautiful pictures, with photo tips from the guide. The market was busy and cozy but would like to have more time there. Then you could sit down and eat somewhere. All in all, definitely successful! Guide Vanessa was good and fun and slightly adhd ;-)

Was extremely fun. In our case, the guide drove up and we followed. We were the only participants on our Ryker. He showed us the beautiful Dord coast and explained a lot. We kept stopping to talk. The driving fun was not neglected at all and the stories and the places were worth it.

Trip, very informative guides. Cesar Manrique house is truly amazing and well worth a visit. It is like something out of a 1970's Bond film. We really enjoyed it.

Beautiful trip, beautiful weather island is a must! Nice guide and neatly picked up at the hotel and returned

friendly service from pick up to drop off and lots in-between. salva the guide was great.
