It is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 473 GetYourGuide reviewers. Lunch is extra, at about €18, or bring your own.

The day starts with pick-up from one of 24 points in Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Arrecife. Send the operator a WhatsApp at least 24 hours ahead to confirm your stop and time; otherwise you may have to make your way to the meeting point.
First is the Monumento al Campesino, Manrique’s tribute to the island’s farmers, with a small craft museum. Then the coach climbs through the Valley of a Thousand Palms to the Mirador del Río, one of Manrique’s best-known works and one of the island’s great panoramic views. After an optional lunch stop, you visit the Jardín de Cactus, more than 1,100 species across 5,000 square metres.
Next comes Jameos del Agua, part of a 7 km lava tube formed about 5,000 years ago, which Manrique turned into a garden, restaurant and concert hall around a lake where tiny blind white crabs live. The day ends with a 45-minute guided visit to the Fundación César Manrique, his former home, built into the foothills of a lava flow with unusual structures running through the house.
Entry to the four paid sites is included, and the Monumento al Campesino is free to visit, so there is nothing to pay on the day beyond lunch. Wear closed trainers: the ground is uneven and slippery in places.

Guided tour, about 45 minutes
It is the only Manrique-themed day on GetYourGuide that clears our rating bar, and with the four paid entries, the coach and the guide in one price there is nothing to organise. The full-day island highlights tour costs less and adds Timanfaya and the Cueva de los Verdes, but skips the foundation, the Cactus Garden and the Mirador del Río.
If you have a car and want just one Manrique-style space, the LagOmar museum ticket in Nazaret is a cheap half-day on your own.
Guiding is in French, German, English and Spanish, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before. Note the itinerary times at each stop, from about 25 minutes at the Mirador del Río to nearly an hour at Jameos del Agua, so you know where to linger.
