Mallorca: 5-hours Hidden Marvels Tour

This was a great small group trip that indeed took us to some wonderful off the path locations. Brigit was a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. She took care of us as if we were here own family, treats included for the extra touch. Don’t miss taking this particular trip with her. You will not regret it!

Our guide Birgit was amazing and so knowledgeable. Our group was mixed of English, Belgian & German and she effortlessly conversed in all making everyone feel involved. There were surprises throughout Ensaimades, cheeses and biscuits as well as the delicious lunch at the old Olive Factory. The interesting conversation not only about Mallorca but Spanish life was such that it was sad to leave at the end of the trip. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and will definitely sign up for another on my return.

My wife suggested this excursion and I am so glad she did as it was wonderful. Our guide Birgit met us at our hotel and after collecting two other couples (German & Belgian) we set off on our trip. Our guide Birgit spoke several languages fluently and although our group all understood English she effortlessly flitted between languages to be inclusive. The journey took us into the west coast and the Miramar region where Mallorca History commenced. After a brief stop in beautiful Valledemossa we visited a small isolated Monastery with only 3 monks which was reached after a 15 minute walk uphill but worth it. Birgit confidently negotiated the small twisty roads through the Tramantuna Mountains in the comfortable vehicle continually pinpointing out numerous interesting sights. We visited the island home of the Austrian Archduke Salvador - a popular wedding venue now. At each stop Birgit surprised us with a local delicacy -Ensaimada at one and cheese and biscuits at another. The final stop was in Soller where we visited the only authentic Olive Farm which was very interesting and where we had a lunch in the owner’s kitchen served by the owner who explained everything and we were able to purchase his olive oil. We were also able to sample his own fresh orange Juice and his neighbours red wine all delicious. The trip lasted some 6 hours but time flew and was made even more enjoyable by the conversation on many topics between ourselves and Birgit (an extremely erudite and charming host) such was the interest that we were reluctant to get out at our hotel at the end! We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour and everyone will get something enriching from it. To Birgit - Gracies and thank you for sharing your love of Mallorca with us.
