Loved this trip . Went with my family and we are left very happy with the experience and with the guide on board ! He was funny and interactive and spoke many languages . I would recommend this trip it’s worth the money when you visit Mallorca !

Really enjoyed this trip! Would’ve been better if we could ride the boat but the nerve racking coach ride through the narrow roads of the mountain wasn’t so bad! Special thanks to our tour guide Tolo and Bartolome our driver! Muchas gracias!

the tour covers some real highlights of Mallorca you would most likely miss otherwise, eg. the old-fashioned train, Torrent de Pareis, Lluc or at least not be able to cover in the same time span. So yes, this is highly recommended.

Amazing place to visit. Was a little difficult to follow the guide because he was speaking in 4 different languages. It was amazing he had command of 4 languages but it made things a little confusing.

Fantastic tour - great tour guide Tolo, highly recommend!
