Unforgettable Mallorca: Train, Boat & Scenic Day Trip

A well organised trip with the excellent Luis as our guide. The coach arrived on time and was comfortable. The scenery on the drive through the mountains was beautiful and Luis provided us with commentary. Boat trip from Sa Calobra to Puerto de Soller where there was plenty of time to get lunch before the tram to Soller and train to near Palma. It was lovely to see the north of the island, yes I'd have liked more time to explore places but it isn't possible with the itinerary. For us this was an excellent way to reach areas we'd otherwise struggle to get to. Our boys aged 2 and 6 had an amazing day despite it being a long day. Highly recommend both the trip and the company.

Amazing day out with lots to see and the most amazing guide Angel! Loved the organisation and jokes along the way. Would definitely recommend!

Great day trip by No Frills Excursions. Antonio, our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable. It was a long day, bus through the Sierra de Tramontana mountain range, sheer drops either side. Fantastic views, and special mention to Miguel the driver, how he navigates those hairpin corners is amazing. Boat trip between Sa Calobra and Puerto de Soller was beautiful but could have benefitted from a little commentary about the areas we passed. Lunch isn't included, but there are plenty of restaurants in Puerto de Soller. Then the tram to Soller itself, a lovely little town, again some commentary would have been of benefit. 45 minutes later, the train to just outside Palma. Then the bus back to the hotel. My only real gripe was that the bus was a little uncomfortable and some more leg room would have been appreciated. Unfortunately the main thing that spoiled this trip was the lack of consideration shown by some people when the fantastic commentary by Antonia was in a language other than their own. They constantly kept talking loudly and at times it was difficult to hear. Maybe, a gentle request by the guide to passengers to respect other languages would be of benefit in the future

The bus driver was amazing, driving up through the mountains was stunning. Our guide was very good with local knowledge and instructions.

Super well organized and well guided. Perfectly paced. Beautiful scenery and geography. Lots of information about what we were seeing was provided.

Some parts of this excursion were great - the boat and the train ride particularly. The guide, Juan, was fantastic. But there were disappointments. The coach was late picking us up. It was RAMMED (and I mean that - not a single spare seat). And it had screened “privacy” windows. So we were on a sightseeing tour where is was very difficult to see anything at all, let alone take any photos. I might use this company again, but not for a coach-based tour.

This tour is a great way to travel through and visit the west of Mallorca between Palma, the spectacular Tramuntana Mountains and the coast. The tour lasted about 9 hours, from 9:30 pickup in Palma port to drop-off at about 6:20pm. Our itenerary took us by coach to the monastery at Lluc, famous for its shrine to the Black Madonna, where we spent about 40 minutes. The mountain roads are exciting and the coach driver's skill admirable! From Lluc we were driven over the mountains and down more switchback roads to the little harbour of Sa Calobre where we had time for refreshments before boarding a large (fast) pleasure boat for the 40 minute trip to Port of Soller. More leisure time here before boarding our carriage on the vintage tram ride to Soller, a few km inland. In Soller there was time to look around the impressive church, have a beer, visit an art expo (Miro and Picasso) before boarding our reserved carriage on the vintage (wooden) train back through the mountains towards Palma. We rejoined the coach outside Palma for the return to our drop-off points. The timings worked out perfectly, the modes of travel entertainingly varied and the scenery beatuful and spectacular. A stress-free, well managed day out with an excellent multilingual guide (Guiseppe).

Majorca sightseeing with boat and vintage train was an amazing all day tour. Our tour guide Pepe was good too. The winding roads by bus was a thrill in itself. We saw the Black Madonna, the boat ride along the rocky coastline and the vintage train.

We generally prefer to make our own adventures, but had just one day on Mallorca and chose this tour to try to maximize the time. It’s a great way to see a bit of Mallorca without your own car. And that mountain road drive — ooooof, very glad to have a professional. Which brings me to high praise for our guide (Pepe, aka Joe) and driver (Miguel aka Michael). Pepe flipped languages like a champ, was very informative, and kept a large group well taken care of to be at the right place at the right time all day. And it was really helpful to be on the ticket with him all day, whereas other folks not with groups were waiting for longer times for the tram and train.

Excellent trip. Highlight for my boyfriend was the bus as was the football bus for Majorca. He loved this. Highlight for me was the boat and seeing the amazing views. All of the trip from start to finish was excellent. Just make sure you have a Euro for the toilet as there is a charge for this at the first stop. Would highly recommend and much cheaper than booking with travel agent.
