Best of · MALLORCA
The good mallorca bus tours sell their front seats first and the great ones sell out entirely. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Use a 24-hour open-top bus ticket to see Palma’s old town, waterfront, marina, Bellver Castle, and Spanish Village. An eight-language audio guide explains the sights, while the Essential ticket adds your choice of Bellver Castle or Pueblo Espanyol, CaixaForum, and several discounts.
“Pqlma is a very beautiful city! The bus was a wonderful way to explore.”
Spend 6 to 8 hours touring Mallorca’s mountain villages with a live English- or German-speaking guide. Visit Valldemossa, Sóller, and Port de Sóller, see Picasso and Miró displays, and ride the historic tram to the coast. Guides such as Catalina and Juan are known for clear commentary and calm organization.
“Great trip! Loved seeing the smaller towns on the island. The tour is a great way to see more of the island other than Palma and Alcúdia. The time in between stops was awesome. The guide was great. If there was one thing that could have been better it was the drop offs. There were a lot of drop offs at the end - we would have preferred to just go back to where we were picked up.”
See Palma from an open-top bus on a 24-hour or 48-hour ticket, with 16 listed stops, multilingual audio, and access to major sights. Add Bellver Castle or Poble Espanyol, Es Baluard, a boat trip, and, with the Ultimate ticket, Palma Cathedral, the Arab Baths, and Palau March.
“Loved how friendly all the staff / drivers were. Got seats on the top which gave us great views.”
Travel by bus from Mallorca’s north to Es Colomer and Formentor Beach, then take a 30-minute sightseeing boat to Port de Pollença when weather allows. You get about 90 minutes at the beach, multilingual guiding, hotel-area pickup, and a return bus ride.
“Amazing experience from Pick-up to drop-off. Very detailed and thorough guide - Basti (& the driver)- super helpful. Well organized full-day activities. Breath-taking, panoramic vision at "the view-point". I'll definitely recommend this tour!”
Spend about 8.5 hours crossing Mallorca’s Tramuntana Mountains by air-conditioned coach, boat, tram, and 1912 Sóller train. Your local guide explains the route in several languages, with free time at Lluc, Sa Calobra, and Sóller. Lunch is not included.
Spend 90 to 100 minutes touring Alcudia by open-top double-decker bus. A local guide speaks English, German, and Spanish as you pass resorts, Aucanada lighthouse, Pollentia, Alcudia’s walls, and Formentor views. Photo stops are included, but this is a continuous tour, not a hop-on, hop-off service.
“The guide was very informative. Just wish there had been more time to get off at certain parts for photo opportunities but apart from that really enjoyed the tour .”
Take a German-language night bus from Can Picafort, Alcudia, or Playa de Muro to Playa de Palma. You get about five and a half hours free near Megapark, Bierstrasse, Ballermann 6, and Paradies Beach, with a guide’s tips and a safe return coach.
Travel by air-conditioned coach to Mallorca Fashion Outlet, about 7 km from Palma, for more than five hours of shopping and dining. Your English, Spanish, or German-speaking guide, including Melanie on some departures, provides a VIP pass with an extra 10% off at over 30 stores.
“It was a great day! Melanie explained everything well. I'd love to do it again.”
Ride through Calvià’s coastal towns and mountain villages on a three-hour bus tour with a digital audio guide. You’ll see Paguera, Santa Ponsa, Port Adriano, Magaluf, Palmanova, and Es Capdellà, with walking stops at the Santa Ponsa cross and Calvià Vila.
“Was a good tour but only 7 people on it. Old town was lovely to walk around.”
Spend five hours with an English or German speaking guide, traveling by air-conditioned minibus to a Binissalem bodega. Taste Mallorcan wines, cheeses, tapas, and regional snacks during a small guided visit, then watch the sunset from the vineyards. Pickup is available from selected Mallorca resorts.
“The tour was great, the vineyard was stunning and food perfect. Can’t recommend enough.”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
