Customer reviews for Island Tour Mallorca with Soller and La Calobra
This was a fantastic day out on the Mallorca tour discovering the beautiful scenery up north. Absolutely enjoyed every minute ot it, bus throught the mountains, boat along the coast and the visiting Soller Port and Soller on the tram and old wooden train. 👌
The tour was very good and very well narrated along the way by the guide. Pity there was no boat trip due to the sea conditions. It was a long day, but saw plenty of Majorca you wouldn't normally see.
This was a really well organised tour that lasted about eleven hours. The female guide was superb, and gave very clear guidance to the group in respect of timings etc. Her knowledge of the island added much to the tour. Tony the driver showed exceptional skill on the narrow and twist mountain roads. This tour was really great value.
Brilliant day out. Pick up was from Cala D’or,specifically Cala Gran Beach, on time no hassle. Only had 2/3 more pick ups before heading towards Inca where we had our break for the driver and then set off up one of the most scenic mountain roads we had ever experienced. Plenty of time before the boat to grab some lunch and then its a lovely 50 minute cruise. (would suggest boarding the boat earlier than mentioned as more than one group are booked and top deck is limited space) The tram is privately booked out for travel agent groups (may need to stand for the short 25 minute journey but this doesnt spoil the ride). Then the train has a carriage each for every group so guaranteed a seat. All in all a very good day out
Full day Island Tour was fabulous. We were collected on time in a smart, modern coach. We received a warm welcome from driver and guide. Firstly - Gertrudis (guide) was thankfully not someone who just talked for the sake of doing so. Our first stop was in Inca at a leather shop. Loads of beautiful bags at great prices. Even better, there are clean toilets and a very small cafe area where you can get a coffee or cold drink. Then onto the best section of the day - driving through the Tramuntana mountains. Just over 3100m at the top. Driving of the coach was top quality as Tony negotiated the inch-perfect bends with ease. On arrival at La Calobra, we walked through the two small tunnels. The view is again perfect A boat trip up to the port of Soller, then an old-style tram into Soller center followed by the old wooden train, whose carriages were built in 1912, back to Palma. Throughout the day, the views were incredible. Tony's driving was safe and perfect. Gertrudis gave information at each place without unnecessary waffle. Timing throughout the day worked well and we did not feel the need to rush to get to where we should be. In Summary, the tour was excellent value with spectacular views. A knowledgeable and great guide plus an experienced, careful driver always looked after us all.
From my point of view the trip was well organised and most enjoyable. We covered a lot of ground and the drive through the mountains was spectacular. The visit to the leather shop was not of interest to me. The boat trip and tram were okay. The train ride was another highlight. Transfers were efficiently undertaken and the guide gave clear instructions about reassembling after free time. Her information (given in three languages) was most useful . A most enjoyable day
This was a very interesting and enjoyable trip. The tram and train rides in particular were great Although a long journey from the east of the island, the countryside was lovely. The coach driver Damian was excellent, particularly over the mountains. The guide Ariana (?) was very good. She kept us well informed about the areas we drove through and the programme. She managed to persuade everyone to keep to all the departure times which was amazing.
Last monday 1 Sept we've had a wonderful Mallorca Island Tour. How convenient to be driven around in the bus, espescially the long hairpin route. What a great driver. We just enjoyed the views. After lunch a boattrip to Port Soller and the famous tram to Soller. From there the antique wooden train back to the bus near Palma and then back to the hotel. The whole day was perfectly guided by our tourguide Ariane. She's amazing and all the different stops where perfectly controlled by her. Everyone save and in time. The trip was over 10 hours and absolutely fantastic. I'm not sponsored, it's my sincere feeling of the day.
The tour is amazing! Getting to see so much more is the island in one day! Ariane, the tour guide, was brilliant; switching between 4 languages fluently to cater to everyone on the tour. Definitely worth the money.
Excellent all day trip- great driver Miguel and guide Arianna… would definitely recommend
