Teguise Market and La Graciosa Island Tour

Sunday market with lots of hand crafts and food stalls, best prices in town and cheaper then the mall. Parking is a challenge but there are a lot of car parks offering parking for 2 euros for the day. The market is around a church, with no access fee. It van get very very busy so be aware of pickpockets. Definately worth seeing usually open every Sunday 10am - 2pm

We were picked up on time in Costa Teguise by the Amanda Bus. Arriving at Teguise market the bus parked very near an entrance road so access was easy. This market is huge with hundreds of stalls and the two hours allowed because of the days programme was only a taster; you need half or a full day. We met our courier and got aboard a bigger double decker Amanda Bus. The courier styled himself Amanda Radio. He gave us a commentary along the journey in at least 3 languages maybe four. Very impressive. The transalations came one after another and soon became a blur. He was full of energy with a good sense of humour. Arriving at the port the boarding passes were soon sorted out, and we made our way up onto the top deck seats outside. The ferry trip was the highlight of the excursion; try it and see why. On leaving the ferry and looking round you got the impression that you had just arrived in a rundown Mexican town from an old cowboy film ,scruffy and badly kept. Quaint it is not. They get over 600000 visitors a year here so why were all the rubbish bins overflowing onto the ground round them. The public toilets would not even be suitable in a third world country. Ladies if you read this make sure you take all your toilet needs with you!! Without the ferry companies this place would be nothing .Why dont they pressure the island authorities to sort this out. Why dont the greedy cafe owners sort it out, or the local authority. With that amount of visitors there must be enough money. The sit down meal was in another ferry moored down the jetty. There was plenty of paella, salad bowl and bread. Ample wines beer and soft drinks were dispensed by a very efficient and pleasant crew. First taste of paella, lovely. At 4.20 we boarded the ferry back to Lanzarote, I dont think anyone was left behind. On the way back we stopped and caught the small Costa Teguise Bus, and were back in the hotel by 6.00pm. On the whole we would thoroughly recommend this trip. The courier was excellent, and the food freshly prepared and served. The buse were on time on all stages, and the ferry was great fun. This company has got got it right and we felt safe with them Thanks guys.

An absolutely amazing experience. We were collected on time and after a few stops to collect others we spent 2 hours looking around the market and had something to eat. We then went on the ferry which gives fabulous views. We were given a short guided tour and chose to skip the included lunch for a meal on our own in one of the local restaurants before heading back to the ferry and then the bus back to our hotel. Every things was efficient, clean and on time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and good fun. Would highly recommend this tour to others. Such great value for money!!!

Could have done with more time to explore the market. I managed a swim on La Graciosa after the lunch, but there wasn't a long time there either. Lunch was on board an off duty ferry and consisted of salad, paella and fruit. I did message the company beforehand saying I needed gf food but that the proposed menu looked good. I didn't get a reply. Guide was fluent in 3 languages.

It was an enjoyable day out. The main benefit of the tour was it being organised for you and finding out a bit about the island, but don’t expect t loads of commentary and facts. Also, check the hotel pick up time. The confirmation says 10.30 but due to a review on here I called the tour operator to double check and found that the pick up time from my hotel was 9.40
