! Entrance to the caves is not included in the price! We absolutely loved our tour with Carolina. She was very knowledgeable about the island and all the places we visited. For these locations, having a guide really is an added value.

Dora is een enthousiaste jonge gids die echt alles verteld heeft en op een leuke manier. Het was een geweldiger ervaring om in een krater af te dalen. Dit is zeker een aanrader.

Great!

Todo genial, lo único que nos pareció un precio un pelin elevado dando por hecho que si o si hay que pagar a parte los tickets de las cuevas. En cuanto a Dora, una guía fantástica, super implicada y con muchísima información que ofrecer.
