Really worth while tour! Had a lovely time, the guides were excellent and really looked after us! We have a young family comprising of a 1 year old and a 3 year old, the guides couldn’t have done more to ensure we enjoyed the trip! The caves were stunning, completely mesmerising for our 3 year old! We only booked, via tripadvisor, 12 hours before the trip was scheduled to depart, communication was excellent, ensuring we got to the bus stop at the correct time. Would highly recommend no frills!

My mum and I have just returned from an excursion to Drach Caves. This company planned the tour to perfection in a very professional fun and friendly way . Our driver was Samuel who was a very patient ,sensible and friendly driver. Our tour guide was Albert who was very professional and took every opportunity to tell us about the sights we were passing and what exactly we had planned for the day. So we all knew what to expect . There are no toilets on the bus and there was a very sweet young man who desperately needed to go to the loo! Albert arranged to make an unplanned stop. This demonstrated how flexible and family friendly this tour company is. Very impressed. Keep up the good work thumbs up

Yesterday we went on the day trip to Caves of Drach. We were picked up on time and met by our lovely guide Juan! Juan was absolutely amazing and made the whole trip for me. Literally did not stop laughing the whole way round. Stopped at some lovely little places for photo ops too. Brilliant itinary, the day passed very quickly. Particularly enjoyed the liqueur tasting in Manacor - so many lovely flavours. Would highly recommend no frills

Brilliant experience - SO well organised.
A "Ronseal" trip - they did exactly what they said they would. Bus timings exact to the minute. Clear return times communicated including risks if late. Great driver (Pedro) and tour guide (Juan). Bus 162 on 02/05/18 Organised via hotel reception - took less than 3 minutes. Collected from reception. €42 each for trip to huge market at Sineu, pearl factory at Manacor, Lunch at Porto Cristo harbour and then the Caves at Drach plus extra tour time around the coast. Ticket to caves was €15.50 alone ! BRILLIANT - well done. Highly recommended

We bought tickets for the Formentor Boat Trip from Puerto Pollensa back in October 2017. We purchased the tickets through Mar from The Puerto Pollensa Office , she was very friendly and helpful and gave us lots of helpful information regarding other excursions. My fiancee has been using No Frills Excursions for just over 12 years and I can say they are great :)

My wife and I only had 1 week holiday in Alcudia and thus had to take the available day to book our "caves" tour, which coincided with the day of our 50th wedding anniversary. The weather was clear and hot (33C outdoors) and thankfully the bus was air conditioned. The guide Albert, and the driver Jose, made for a great day out. Albert produced an amusing commentary as we drove around, giving us a historical insight to the Balearic Islands and Mallorca in particular. We drove through the city of Manacor, dropped off fellow sightseers at the Rafa Nadal Academy, took photos at a beauty spot in Cala .Mendia. The caves visit was great and I took some super photos. The musical experience was enchanting with the stunning underground lake and the lighting effect. We drove on to see the Tower of the Falcons (another photo opportunity) and visited the Majorica pearl factory. Lunch at the Lu Bumba restaurant in Porto Christo was very good, and the manager/owner brought the two of us dessert on the house and announced to everyone that it was our 50th. En route back we collected the others from the Rafa Nadal Academy and stopped at a ceramic-and-liqueur shop to sample the range of liquid products made from bananas to berries. Altogether great value for money and most enjoyable.

Review on Tripadvisor september 2016
We were guided around by the lovely Catalina, who have plenty of interesting insights to the area. The tour felt like great value for money, seeing as we had 5 stops. The caves were beautiful and I've never seen anything like it. Really enjoyed tasting Mallorca's liqueurs as well!
