Wonder of salt and sun - Brian was a fantastic, interesting and fun guide. It made a magical place even more spectacular and made you forget the heat. Highly recommended experience: The colors you will see are really worth it and being in contact with a centuries-old business maintained mostly as it was does the rest. Mandatory hat and sunscreen!

A must on the island of Lanzarote - Wonderful visit! Interesting what we have learned from the magnificent work of salt and salt mills. The views, the climb to the Molina, the guide called Martin, made us the most entertaining and interesting visit.

Absorbing and informative tour by Martin, our superb guide! 10am, 26/6/25 - What a wonderful tour. We were introduced to Martin, our tour guide. We had an amazing informative time with Martin who is simply the best tour guide imaginable. His passion and knowledge shone like a beacon. He showed us the logical steps in salt production and left no stone unturned. Any questions we had were immediately answered. I shall never look at salt in the same light again. Thank you Martin, you are a true gentleman! Highly recommended!
