Day trip to Menorca by ferry and bus

Customers opinions on the day trip to Menorca by ferry and bus:

  We had a very enjoyable day with a wonderful guide. However we do have a few points. Firstly is there any reason why Had to travel on the Mediterraneana ferry instead of the Balearic one? The crossing to Menorca was very unpleasant. We found the guide with the Island Tour board. However she originally told us that we weren’t with her. We had booked on line and she didn’t have our names only 2unknowns. Perhaps her board should include the words No Frills as we spent an anxious few minutes unsure who our guide was? We booked in September to visit Mahon but went to the beach instead which was disappointing. We didn’t visit a prehistoric settlement but did spend 2 hours in Ciutadella which we felt was too long. However we did have a wonderful day and will continue to use you and recommend you to friends and family no

  This turned into an endurance rather than an enjoyable excursion.  The ferry times had changed so we had to be at the terminal at 07.00hrs which meant we missed breakfast at our hotel.  The crossing itself was fine and we enjoyed seeing the places on Menorca. We went to Mount Toro, Mahon, Binibeca, and then back to Ciutadella. By the time we got back to Ciutadella it was 17.00hrs and the guide told us we had a further two hours before the coach would take us back to the ferry terminal. It seemed at this time lots of places were closed so it was a pointless visit.  The guide left almost immediately when we got to Ciutadella. Whilst he couldn’t actually do anything it did feel like we were being dumped.  The ferry was late getting to the port and we only set off on the return about an hour late. We finally arrived back in Majorca at 22.30hrs. Totally shattered.  Another point that aggravated us was that due to the timings we were too late for dinner at the hotel which was already paid for, and had to find somewhere to eat in Ciutadella, which was another expense.  I feel it would have been far better to cut down the times at each place and get back for the earlier ferry which would have made the day far more pleasant overall.  Also we never saw several of the views and places indicated by the photos on the description of the excursion.  Really liked the look of Menorca but didn’t enjoy the experience of this excursion.
