Island Tour overview:
What to expect on this trip:
The Island Tour excursion will keep you charmed all day thanks to its different parts: road, sea and rails, with plenty of free time in between. You will be taken down the spectacular west coast of Mallorca where you will see some of the most breathtaking views in the Mediterranean. There you will discover the UNESCO protected Serra de Tramuntana mountain range with our knowledgeable guide who will be giving you interesting information on the towns and sights we come across during the day.
Once everybody has been picked up by coach the tour proceeds to the stunning Tramuntana Mountain Range where we can enjoy the views that this area offers as we drive along the breathtaking and much photographed mountain road to Sa Calobra where you will be able to take some great photographs.
Then we will arrive at Sa Calobra where you will have free time to relax and enjoy the dreamy landscape. We always make sure we arrive early so we can see Sa Calobra at its best, when it's quiet and peaceful before other tour groups get there. This means that our clients can discover the Torrent de Paréis gorge at their leisure before the bustle begins.
After the visit to Sa Calobra we will board a modern boat that will take us to Puerto Soller. The journey by boat has a duration of approximately 40 minutes and along the way you will see spectacular views of this dramatic coastline that cannot be seen from the land.
On arrival in Puerto de Soller you will have have free time to explore, relax and have some lunch. Our guide can recommend a nice place for you to have lunch or you can stroll around looking for a place of your liking.
Once everybody has unwound and has had something to eat in Puerto Soller we will take the tram along the sea front and up through the orange and lemon orchards to the town of Soller where we will have time for a short visit around its charming historical centre before we board the famous Soller wooden train. We will follow the original journey which has barely changed in its 100 years of operation.
The train ride will take us across the impressive valley of Soller as we go through the tunnels in the mountains and the countryside until we reach the outskirts of Palma. There our coach will be awaiting us to head back to resort.
Reasons why you should book online:
- Much cheaper prices compared to tour operators.
- It is a hassle free way to ensure you make the most of your day. We have the day planned to the finest detail so that all that is left for you to do is enjoy the excursion.
- Your places will be guaranteed on all the modes of transports included in the excursion: bus, boat, tram and train so you will avoid nasty surpirses like arriving and not being able to board, which would not be a pleasant experience.
- Easy to book: confirm your details, secure online payment, receive your e-voucher and then we confirm your pick up details by e-mail.
- Peace of mind: have your places guaranteed before you arrive in resort. You can either print the voucher or just show it on your smartphone, tablet or device.

We went on the island tour last week and what an incredible day we had. The tour is planned to perfection. Thanks to the amazing driver Francisco who negotiated the mountain road and got us to the top safely. We also had tour guide Albert who had incredible knowledge of the area and didn't stop talking for hours! The timings were perfect, stops for photos/ice cream and lunch were the right length of time. Personnally I dislike paying for a tour and have 2-3 hours free time so this suited me. I highly recommend this tour as it was one of the best I have ever been on for organisation. Coach, boat, tram and train, what more could you want on a day out! Don't forget to take your camera.

Excellent company and staff/guides. Have been visiting Alcudia well since 1988 and did our first No Frills trips around 2006. The island tour is far the best value and day out, always to be repeated my us. This time I brought a friend to the island who was most impressed with the trip and Alcudia. My husband and I will be returning later in the year and yes another tour.

Our Island tour was only made better by the great guide Juan along with his trusted driver Xisco and Henry the mascot who made sure we didn't get lost... The tour was well run, great value for money and very enjoyable. Spectacular scenery, knowledgeable and friendly guide... what more could you need...

Review on Tripadvisor september 2016
I can't say enough about this tour and the tour guide catalina she was just amazing she was so naturally pashionate about all things majorcan it was just a joy to listen to her. Some tour guides have their one cheesey jokes but everything Catalina said was so convincing informative. I can't recommend no frills enough and my only regret is I was there long enough to go on any more tours with them

Review on Tripadvisor september 2016
We booked the island tour that included a boat trip, tram from the Port of Soller and train from Soller based on reviews on tripadvisor, and we weren't disappointed. We were picked up at a convenient spot close to our apartment in Puerto Pollensa and left on time - early in fact so there was no hanging about waiting to get going. Our guide Dori was great - full of info and really friendly. The trip was well organised and whilst it wasn't cheap we thought it was good value as it meant we were able to see parts of the island we wouldn't have done otherwise. I would definitely book another trip with No Frills again.

Review on Tripadvisor august 2016
This trip is really amazing first you go by coach up the mountain to see great scenic views of the island then you go by boat to a place called Soller once again with fantastic views of the island by sea , then a tram ride on the original 1912 trams,and follow that with a ride on the original train that transported oranges and lemons way back from 1911. Then it's a ride back by coach to your hotel . What really made the trip was the guide ( who was always talking ) JUAN was just BRILLIANT he told us everything you could possibly want to know and a lot more , he was informative but more than anything he was FUNNY AND FRIENDLY. A special mention also for FERNANDO the coach driver he was EXCELLENT the way he manoeuvred the coach around the tight hairpin roads 600 metres above sea level was nothing short of phenomenal. A trip I could recommend totally . Also a special mention for "NO FRILLS EXCURSIONS " a brilliant company providing an excellent service ,obviously run by people who want holiday makers to sample local culture etc without being ripped off by holiday firms . Just by booking through them we saved €50 on the same trip offered by our rep . THANK YOU NOFRILLSEXCURSIONS for providing us all with lovely memories of our visit to Majorca

Review on Tripadvisor september 2016
We booked the island tour whilst staying in Alcudia. Our guide was Alberto who was absolutely fantastic! He was full of passion for his job and gave us good information all day on the island and its history. The tour involved a coach up into the mountains, a boat trip, (we saw under the gorge just before boarding the boat), a tram ride in a beautiful seaside town and then on to a stunning old fashioned train which showed us the lemon and orange groves of the area and went through so many tunnels. All in all I'd say this is the best trip I've ever done abroad (and I've done a lot) with hands down the nicest guide Alberto. Highly recommend!
