The best of Mallorca tour: Soller and La Calobra

Reviews for the tour Soller and La Calobra:

  Fantastic trip! A long day but so worth it. Great way to see Palma de Mallorca. The pace was perfect - the bus trip so exciting as we ventured up into the mountains and negotiated the incredible switchbacks along the way. The weather was beautiful and so the boat trip along the glistening coast was wonderful. Our guide, Angela was knowledgeable, kind and easy to get along with and made the trip really enjoyable for us. And our bus driver Juan was terrific - so calm, careful and patient in the traffic and on the amazing mountain road through those switchbacks! Well done Juan! We would definitely recommend this trip.

  I had a super nice day! I was picked up by my hotel in the morning and droped off in the evening. The tour was nicely organizes and you had a good amount of time between transfer so you could go for a longer walks and look around on each stop. I would definitely recommend.

  On our trip, the boat ride was canceled due to "bad" weather. To be honest, the sea was not so dangerous, after all we were not going to sail on rafts. but ok. No equivalent (or any) replacement has happened (although I don't think it's the first time). This is very unpleasant, because the boat was a reason that we chose this tour. The guide translate her speech into 4 languages during the tour - that is too much, especially when you understand 3. I can't imagine how the guide feels at the end of the tour, we are very tired of listening to the same thing 4 times. 2 languages as a maximum. In general - booking, payment, confirmation, organization of tour are good.

  Fantastic day out away from the beach. You get to see the real Majorca. The mountain trip is not for the faint hearted with many hairpin bends to keep you alert. The Torrent de Paradies is spectacular, would have loved a bit more time to explore the canyon but maybe next time. The bus driver was an expert at getting through narrow roads meeting oncoming traffic and cyclists. The guide was superb explaining everything in at least 5 languages. Well worth the mo eye if you get bored of the beach and you want a great day out.

  A fabulous and full day out with stunning scenery, a brilliant guide (Pepe) and amazing mountain driving skills (Miguel). Lunch at Sa Colabra was crowded, overpriced & disappointing- trams were similarly over packed & an endurance test (standing in the heat ) However, good value for money and well worth doing…a great way to get a taste of Majorca’s stunning scenery! Thank you- super easy to book & clear communication, transfers etc (although back at 7pm, much later than advertised)

  Prompt hotel pick up and transfer to Palma. A bit confusing at tour bus exchange being initially directed to the wrong bus. Journey to La Calobra was spectacular. The wait at La Calobra was overlong and the eateries were very poor quality and the place had limited to offer apart from a very short walk to see the canyon. In contrast Port Soller had much better choices to eat and more to occupy the time. Boat ride was very pleasant and cooling especially on such a hot and sultry day. Time in Port Soller was too short to achieved anything. Tram to Soller was OK as was the train back to Palma. Tour guide Pepe was excellent and personable, and kept everybody informed throughout the day. Transfer back to the hotel was efficient. All in all a very enjoyable day and would recommend as a way of seeing these parts of the island.

  Tour was great. The bus ride up the windy road and the time in Sa Calobra were awesome. I would take some medication for motion sickness for the bus if you are prone to it as it is pretty stomach lurching. The beach and views are great in Sa Calobra. While there is food to buy in Sa Calobra as well as some restaurants, we purchased a few sandwiches before we left Palma to take with us, which gave us more time to explore. There were several busses arriving all at once and the restaurants looked crazy busy. The boat ride was nice too. More amazing scenery. Don’t focus on the tram or the train ride, as they are just a method to get home. Nothing special. Tram ride was cramped and uncomfortable, but short and the train was nothing special. I would definitely recommend this tour.
