Overall this was a great tour of Northern Mallorca. We passed through Puerto Pollenca, Formentor and the beach. I'd expect us to make a stop for at least 20 minutes in Old Town Acudia for shopping or some pictures. I also thought we'd get free time at Puerto Pollenca, but we didnt. The tour does specify spending time in the local market which didn't happen. Overall great experience and beautiful views, also don't indicate that there's an air-conditioned bus when it was an open bus

Pick up was on time and organised for a change, guide had a list of names who he was expecting to get on. This is a coach that seats about 80 people so not small or intimate, not that this is bad. The first leg is quite a long drive so may want drink or snacks etc. The market Alcudia was great, so much to see but I would say not enough time here - you could do at least 4 hours here on it's own! Make sure you know where the coach is and what times to be back at it, use your phone map to drop a pin for location. Don't underestimate how long it will take to get back to the coach. After most departures to move on the guide seemed to count the people on the coach and we didn't have any missing people; not sure if it would wait if someone was missing. The guide speaks on the microphone on the coach in French and English on my trip. The beach part was longer than expected but very good all the same, the coach drops off and its a short walk to the beach. Dont run ahead as the guide explains that you meet at the central beach rather than the coach afterwards. We were given a green ticket for the boat although it wasn't clear that the boat goes from this beach - I assumed we would get back on the coach and drive to the boat. I also assumed that the boat was a trip around the bay and back but it's not it just goes one way and you get off - there are a few different coach parties on the boat. Meanwhile the coach has driven round to the where the boat drops you off. As it isn't a return trip, you want to sit on the right hand side of the boat to see the more interesting views. I think it's weather dependent but if you don't do the boat part it's really not a big deal. Lastly a final stop (as a surprise) on the way back, nothing too great but a nice touch anyway but not enough time - take some spare change as you may be able to buy some gifts here. Toilets - not one on the coach so you can go at the market in a cafe / bar and then at the beach in the central point. No other toilet options so if you skip the toilet at the market i would certainly go at the beach. at the beach you can turn right and can only walk about 10 mins max before the water stops you going further, or left where you can get much further, but take note how far you've gone and allow the correct time to walk back. of course if you're just sitting on breach and not exploring this won't matter. A long day but I'd say worth it if you weren't planning on going to these places anyway.

The boat trip to cape de tormentor was magnificent. Very disappointed that we did not stop in the mountains to take photos. Tour v disorganised at end with people changing buses in a lot outside Palma. Travelling with my elderly mother made this quite upsetting as we were concerned at the last minute change. Also there was confusion over meeting points and time for the tour which resulted in the on cost of taxis from our hotel to the pick up point. Tour guide was good. But not left with a positive experience.

I was first time in Palma Mallorca. And I choose this experience by Viator. I was surprised how it was nice trip by coach. Everything was organised. Thank you .

I was very disappointed in this experience because they never showed up. We waited for the coach for over an hour & they never showed. What's more, they were very incommunicative and would not even admit their own mistake which means Viator won't grant us a refund. They maintain that they passed our hotel and that we weren't there, but we were there since before the agreed pick-up time. We also had airport transfer booked with the same coach company (TransUnion) and was successfully picked-up from/dropped-off at the right place. Therefore, we didn't get the pick-up place wrong. No Frills Excursion got the location wrong and refuse to admit it. We even asked the reception staff where pickups usually happen and they directed us to the correct location. So we were definitely not in the wrong, but we are still not being refunding. We were relying on this tour to help us see the island in a short time as we didn't have long in Mallorca, but since they didn't show, we weren't able to explore the north of the Island at all which was a shame. Please don't waste your money. Looking at the other reviews, we are not the first ones who experienced this. There are other tours and day-trips to choose from. We recommend the Glass-water boat tours!!

Half of the tour was skipped, no Alcudia market visited (probably because of the Spanish National Day, but no information given about it!!). Instead of an air-conditioned coach we have got an open sightseeing bus, without windows, when outside were 16 degrees. Even with proper clothing we were freezing and was awful to stay on that vehicle. The guide did not provide any extra information which one cannot read on tripadvisor or wikitravel, he was not welcoming or informative. Our advice: take the regular bus from Alcudia to Mirador És Colomer for the view than take another bus to Formentor beach and a boattrip from here to Porta Pollenca. You don't need a guide for this and you for sure don't need to feel overseen and frozen, risking your own health. Picking up all the participants took more than one hour btw, the whole tour was not more than 4 hours AVOID this trip, is not worth the money and the stress!!

One of the strangest and worst experience on a day trip. Booked on Viator. First we have got an open bus, without windows, 9.15 on the morning was 16 degrees on Mallorca.We had worn long trousers, isolating jackets and shoes, but it was freezing cold. The guide did not give any information about that Alcudia market will be skipped (probably because of the Spanish National Day). Picking up all the people took more than an one hour, it was freezing, windy and very unpleasant to sit on the open bus, which was advertised as an aiconditioned coach!! Then we got to Cap Formentor mirador, there we had 30 minutes for pictures, from there we went to the Formentor beach, 70 minutes free time, after this followed a boat trip to Porta Pollenca. This was 13 o'clock.From here the "bus" was driving folks back to their hotels, we got out in Alcudia because we did plan a day trip not a 4 hour's one.. The guide was not very welcoming, and not informative at all. Had spoken in 3 languages, but in totally he did not said more than 20 sentences during the trip. All in all, please don't take this trip, is not worth the money! Take the regular bus from Alcudia to mirador and Formentor beach, from there take the boat, for cheap money to Porta Pollenca and do what you like with your time. In the meantime you won't risk your health on an open, freezing bus!! Shame in Viator!!

Probably the best £34 I have ever spent, a full day of seeing the best of the north! Our host Antonio/a was wonderful she spoke so many different languages and made everyone really happy! They tour was wonderful and we got to see so many epic places! Do be careful when you get to the last stop before you get on the boat, I got seriously stung by jelly fish!!

Neringa_S

the second part of the trip when we passed through the mountains and reached Tormentor- was nice but I have to say that first part was less pleasant. We stoppend in a leather shop in the town called Inca. Was 30 min of wasting time instead of see the nature and enjoy the view of Mallorca. After Inca we went to the market- another 1.5 wasted. I have to mention too that the guide Antonio was a bit cold person and the air condition in the bus was afwul:( Next time I will choose different company for the tour. there is always space for improvement.

One of the most amazing north tours. The guide was super nice plus and he knows everything about the whole island. I highly recommend this tour especially if you want to explore and watch the best views of the Island.
