Itinerary
This trip will take us first to Valldemossa, where you can stroll through the peaceful cobbled streets or relax and enjoy a coffee while you devour one of the local delicacies such as the 'coca de patatas' (small potato-based sponge cake) as at this time of the day we usually have the charming town to ourselves. You can join our guide for a relaxed walk around the streets or visit at your own pace the Carthusian Monastery and the famous composer Chopin's House (entrances are not included in the price).
You will have the opportunitty to see the Royal Carthusian monastery, once a royal palace and the home of the Carthusian monk fraternity. (Entry excluded in the price) The Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa, in Mallorcan "la Cartoixa de Valldemossa", has been used for different purposes over time. Initially it was the residence of King Sancho I of Mallorca and later became the former royal residence and finally the Royal Charterhouse.
This is the birthplace of Catalina Thomàs, the most venerated saint on the island known as "La Beateta", who was born in Valldemossa in the 16th century. In her home, which has now been converted into a chapel, there is a tile at the entrance that represents a scene from the life of Mallorca's first saint.
You will pass by this famous viewpoint on your journey. The name "Sa Foradada" means "the hole" due to the hole on the montain which is visible from various parts of the Tramuntana Mountain Range. Legend has it that this hole is the result of a cannon shot during the war of 1582.
After Valldemossa, we board the coach for a delightful sightseeing ride through the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range which has been named world heritage site and is protected by UNESCO. We will pass the picturesque towns of Llucalcari and Deia, famous faces are often spotted within the town of Deia. Have your camera ready, as our next stop is the pretty town of Soller.
In the Port of Soller you will have about one hour free time so that you can stroll around and explore this charming natural port and, after visiting this place, our coach will take us back to resorts.

This well done tour by Lima Highlights was planned as a shore excursion from Callao port. It included a bus and walking tour of Barrancas, which has lots of meaningful well done street art murals. A lively area with cafes, restaurants, and flowers. This was followed by a trip to the Guiness record holding Magic Fountains night show of lights, music, water and a panorama of moving pictures behind the fountains of water. I've never seen anyting quite like it. Our guide adjusted the timing of the tour to suit the needs of our ship's shuttle to Parque de Amor and back to the parque to meet the ship shittle aagin. It worked like clockwork. Highly recommeneded and professional tour!
thanks for the review but we think you posted it in the wrong place
Romina was our guide- a lovely lady whose goal was to ensure we got out of the tour exactly what we wanted. 100% recommend her. Also highly recommend these small authentic cities if you’re looking to see what small villages look like. This tour is a bit on the expensive side but you won’t be disappointed in this private tour!

Marta was a phenomenal guide!! She made sure to ask our interests in order to tailor the tour to our group. She was knowledgeable and more than happy to answer all of our questions throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this! Valdemossa and Soller are beautiful and well worth the visit!!
Tour guide Doria and driver Evelyn were just incredible. They showed us around Mallorca in elegant style. I always felt safe. And Doria told us all about the countryside and the culture and the history. It was just wonderful. She took us to all the best shops, coffee, wine. The best picture taking opportunities. All the good stuff. Just can’t say enough good things. Totally worth the very luxurious outing. Highly recommend.
