What a fantastic experience. 2 hours of bumpy thrills and spectacular views. The guide was cool, taking pictures whilst operating a buggy doesn't look easy but he managed to do just that. You get your own 5 minute photoshoot where you follow in your buggy behind him and he takes pictures at various angles. It's breezy out there and whilst they do provide a jacket and goggles, I'd recommend wearing warm clothing (and clothes you don't mind getting a bit mucky). A fantastic experience to add to our memories of a great holiday

The buggy ride was amazing with beautiful views, some parts scary as your driving next to a very deep drop but if your a thrill seeker you'll love this. One tip would be to wrap up warm especially around your face area as at times when you are driving fast can be freezing & windy. Great experience

It was worth taking this tour. Covers the 3 popular attractions in south Lanzarote, not rushing through and the tour guide Andre was very good.

The castle and gardens are well worth seeing. the audio guide is okay, but not outstanding

It was very professionally delivered. The staff were excellent and happy.
