We had so much fun! - Our experience was brilliant, we loved the whole event. I was a little worried about pick-up having read some of the other reviews, however our pickup was only 15 minutes behind schedule which was quite acceptable considering all the places it had been before ourselves and we got to the castle with plenty of time to spare before anything got started. On arrival you are given a large tabard (either yellow or black) and this determines which side of the arena you will sit on and which team you will support. Some attendees were given tabards with golden edges and symbols on them rather than plain and we gathered this meant they were "VIP" and had paid for some extras on their experience. The castle is built for purpose, rather than a "real" castle (just to set expectations), however it is really nicely decorated and alot of fun to take a wander through when entering and exiting. You have a photo taken with the king and queen with a sword prop when you first come in, this is then offered to you for 10 euros when you are seated, we bought ours as a keepsake. You do however then have the chance to take your own free photos with the king and queen after the show as well as other members of the cast, though it can be quite hectic at this exiting stage so I couldn't say it would be a guarantee if it gets crowded and you are in a rush. The show itself is brilliant, the horsemanship on display is excellent especially in full costume. There was also a beautiful bird of prey flown from side to side of the arena as well as some delicate dressage horse displays which were lovely to watch. There is a loose story being told throughout the show but keeping up with it doesn't matter too much as long as you know who you are supporting, and the actors are fantastic at getting the crowd cheering and booing as required. We were laughing, shouting, cheering and clapping all the way through, it really took you somewhere else for a couple of hours. The food is basic, but this was perfect for us. Soup & bread to start with chicken and potatoes for the main course followed by ice-cream for dessert. Others have turned their nose up at this but it tasted absolutely fine. I have a nut allergy and was 100% prepared to not eat anything provided for the duration of the trip but instead the staff gladly checked whether I could eat the starter and main course (I could) and then they completely surprised me by bringing me a fruit salad instead of ice-cream for dessert so I could partake. For this alone, you get 5*s as this meant so much to me. Thank you! Good points: The music, the actors, the horsemanship, the staff, the skills on show, the crowd engagement, the aesthetics of the castle and arena. Places for improvement: Communication after arrival - we didn't really know what was happening for the 30 minutes or so between arrival and entering the arena, so weren't sure if we had time for a drink or if/when we had to go anywhere etc as nobody told us. Just a bit of information here would have helped us feel more settled. Turns out, you literally just wait in that area/sit outside until the doors to the arena open and you go in (after the VIPs have gone in first) - for anyone reading this! Tips: The arena was hot! They do have big fans going but I would recommend dressing lightly and bringing your own fan if you have one as it gets very warm in there. Do not expect gourmet food, expect a basic meal themed to a medieval night. It is simple but tasty and stops your tummy from rumbling. Try and go to the toilet before the show as once you are in your seat, it can be a bit tricky to get out again. You don't get that long to eat each course and it is easy to get distracted by what is going on, so eat whilst you can! Overall, we had a great time and left with big smiles on our faces, and a little husky in the throat from cheering so much.

What a great night out - This is a great alternative to a normal night out in Tenerife. We made our own way there by taxi, which was €25 from Las Americas. The setup as you walk in is nice. You get a photo taken and then gather in a hall where you can buy a drink and souvenirs while you wait. The show is very good and the actors are great and interact with the audience very well. The horses are unbelievable. Wine is included, which was very nice, the food is average but I wasn't there for the food I was there for the show and that was great. The only downside I would mention is that the smell of fumes when the fire shows are on is very strong. Pity this couldn't be changed to some other way of having a fire show. Other than this, I still highly recommend it. It was a great night out, and all the family enjoyed it.

Great knight - This was an entertaining and fun night. Considering how many were attending, you would think the food might be a bit overcooked or so in taste, but it wasn't. It was warm and very good. Wine and soft drinks were supplied and for the beer drinkers the price for a bucket of beer was very reasonable. The knights/artists are extremely good at what they do and try hard to get and keep the audience involved , even when doing the good/bad guy bit If you have kids this will be right up there street. Highly recommended

Good show but the transfer ruined the experience a bit - The show was entertaining and engaged us in the hall ❤️ the downside was that the transfer we took drove us way too early to the show and we had to wait for over an hour until the show started and at the start outside the castle we weren't greeted by the knights and horses either since we were drove so early realized the transfer ruined some of our experience.. had I known that I would have rather arranged my own taxi and got the whole experience and the show with me 🧐

Entertaining, exciting, unique - The meal was good and the show was spectacular. The staff are very helpful and the service is good. The actors are brilliant and very charismatic. This is a unique experience that is definitely worth doing if you are visiting the south of Tenerife.

Good entertainment but be wary of travelling time. - An enjoyable evening. Be prepared to get involved with cheering and shouting for your knights, makes it more enjoyable. The food is good and served hot, and was all gluten free apart from the bread roll. Only thing is it gets in the way of watching the event. We were one of the last pickups around 18:40 on a full coach as we were at Golf del Sur and arrived around 19:00ish. Spoke to some people who said they were picked up at 17:20 and there was around 12 people on the coach already so depending where you’re getting on be prepared for a long travel time. We were also the first back so goodness knows how long some folk were getting back so might be worth checking before you book.

Spectacular show. Average food - The experience is great fun. An excellent show by some very skilled horsemen. The food and wine isn’t very good, but the lack of good cuisine is made up for by the spectacle. All of the children on the arena were clearly having a great time
