Island tour (with bus, train, boat and tram)

Island tour reviews:

• NMGG14

  

  We went yesterday on the tour with No Frills Excursions, firstly don’t let the name fool you, the tour was exactly the same as the ones offered by tui or Thomas cook, but at a much lower price. The first part of the day was a drive through the mountains expertly negotiated by our driver Cisco with interesting commentary by our guide Albert. After a stop to stretch our legs, we took a boat trip along the coast to Port Soller. Time to relax and have some lunch before a trip on a tram to the town of Soller and a train ride back to Palma where we get back on the bus to take us back to our hotels, both the tram and the train are over 100 years old. A great way to see some of the island and learn some the history, thanks guys.

  A group of 19 Irish hillwalkers took a day off from their activity to enjoy this great tour. Juan was our guide, I can not remember the drivers name, but they were terrific. How Juan was able to switch from English to French to German and Spanish was amazing.The tour itself was most enjoyable, and very reasonably priced.I would highly recommend this company.

  Loved this trip. Our Guide, Albert, was very knowledgeable and also very funny. On the Train from Soller to Palma, some people were in our Carriage by mistake and they commented on how different he was compared to their Guide who seemed a little less interested to say the least. Have to mention the Driver , Cisco, aswell. He had the patience of a Saint going through the mountains having to crawl past the thousands of amateur race cyclists that we encountered all over the island. After a short stop in the mountains it was down to the boat for a run down the coast to the Port of Soller, which is a lovely place, if a little tired. We then went on the vintage tram to Soller to catch the Train. the Tram was wedged full and we had to stand. It was pretty uncomfortable, but that's not the tour operators fault. I imagine in the height of Summer it would be a good way to sweat off a few kilos on the short journey. The Train from Soller down to the outskirts of Palma serves no other purpose than to get you back to the coaches. The scenery is nice, but having been through the mountains it's nothing special. It is however explained by the Guide the reason for this part of the journey helps to pay to keep the service running for the locals etc, so in reality you are doing a good thing by not complaining about it ! You cannot beat this company for value. They offer exactly what other operators give for a fraction of the cost.

  The so-called “Island Tour” was never going to cover the whole island but what it did do was to provide a very good value-for-money tour of the western side of Northern Majorca in the hands of people who not only seemed to be very professional but who had fun doing it. The lady at the office, Marjolein, spoke excellent English and was friendly and helpful as was Margo our guide (accompanied by Henry the elephant) and Cisco our coach driver. One of the most helpful suggestions was that we could book ahead for lunch at Puerto Soller which we did, enjoying an excellent lunch for two for 26 euros. Considering that we had, in effect, a coach tour, a boat trip and tram and train trips we think it to be very good value for money and great fun. Surely one of the best trips offered by no frills excursions. A very warm thank you to all concerned.Trevor and Annie Boys from Rugby.

  We’ve been on the Island Tour today with Albert. It was Sa Colobra, boat trip to Port Sóller, tram to Sóller where the heavens opened, train to almost Palma and back. Really enjoyed it and It was made more enjoyable by the quirky and knowledgable. Albert. We also saved a good amount on the same trip with other bigger players in this game. Well done No Frills!

  Went on this trip last week and had an amazing day out and great value for money. The trip starts on a coach and takes you to a high point of the island, and what a journey that is with windy roads and breathtaking views. When at the top you get off coach for a short while but if you want to use the toilets the owners charge you 0.50 euro cents for the privelige. You then get taken back down the hills to a Port Sa Colobra where you have about 45 minutes to eat and drink. The next part of the trip takes you on a boat to Port Sollier, wow beautifull place. After about an hour to sightsee we were taken aboard a tram for about 20 minutes to Sollier town, again wow what a beautifull quaint town. After a short break its onto a old train and on our way to Palma. The last part of the day and back on the coach back to your respective hotels. We really enjoyed this trip and the Marga our rep was very nice and helpfull.

• Great way to get an insght of Mallorca's stunning scenery

  

  my partner and i went on this tour on May 2 2018. From the very start the tour guide Albert was a terrific ambassador for No frills Excursions. Despite standing at the wrong bus stop we were picked up without fuss. Given a very warm welcome and shown, yes shown to our seats. Albert was constantly updating us with facts and directions about what we would see for the day and what could be seen out of the coach window. At this point i will mention our driver Jambo, i hope i have remembered his name correctly, did a fantastic job of steering us around steep and winding roads and avoiding the large number of cyclists. The itinery included 'The knot of the tie' on the road to Sa Colobra, Torreint Pareis, Port of Soller and finally the town of Soller. Throughout the day Albert ensured that everybody was briefed and understood where they had to be and at what time. He always waited until the whole group was together before telling us what we needed to know. He had a good grasp of english humour which is often lacking in tours of this nature. Are there any downsides, yes there are not enough guides of Alberts calibre. As for the tour itself we both felt it was good value and it really is a full day and you get to see a very varied portrait of what Mallorca has to offer. Well done to Albert, Jambo and No Frills we highly recommend you.
