How the Day Unfolds: The Itinerary Breakdown

The tour kicks off with pickups from a choice of 16 locations, including Palma, Alcúdia, and Magaluf, which makes it quite flexible for different travelers. Once underway, expect a scenic drive lasting about 30 minutes toward Mallorca’s west coast, setting the stage for a day filled with stunning views and engaging stops.

The Hidden Gem and Orange Valley

The first highlight is a photo stop at a lesser-known scenic spot. This provides a great chance to stretch your legs, snap some photos, and get your first taste of Mallorca’s diverse landscape. The tour then moves into the Orange Valley of Sóller, a lush, verdant area surrounded by dramatic mountains. Here, you’ll visit organic orange orchards, home to over 40 varieties of oranges, where you can taste fresh juice directly from the trees — a treat that reviewers say is unmatched anywhere else on the island.

The Finca visit is a true highlight. Not only do you get to walk through beautiful gardens, but you’ll also indulge in a local food tasting that includes Pam amb Oli, a traditional Majorcan snack of bread with tomato, olive oil, and local toppings. The tasting is paired with Mallorcan wines and homemade local specialties like marmalade and cookies, served in a peaceful setting that amplifies the outdoor Mediterranean vibe. One reviewer remarked, “The fresh oranges and wine tasting in the finca made this a highlight of the day.”

The Mountain Villages: Deià and Valldemossa

Next, a scenic drive through the Sierra de Tramuntana takes you to Deià, a village famous for its artistic heritage and rugged beauty. Here, you’ll have some free time to explore, take photos, or just soak in the atmosphere.

From Deià, the tour continues to Valldemossa, a village that feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Its narrow streets, charming cafes, and historic monastery make it perfect for a relaxed stroll. Many reviewers have appreciated the free time here, often visiting the Chopin Museum or just enjoying a coffee while watching street performers. One guest noted, “The atmosphere in Valldemossa is so romantic, I felt like I was in a movie.”

This part of the trip is particularly well-rated for its visual impact, with many reviewers describing it as “spectacular” and “mesmerizing.”

Return and Drop-Off

The day ends with a scenic drive back, passing through more mountain villages and coastal landscapes, before arriving at your drop-off point. The entire experience lasts about 8 hours, making it a full but well-balanced day.

The price of $123 per person includes visits to historic sites, tastings of local products, and scenic drives that would be difficult to organize independently without spending more. The wine tasting in the finca is especially noteworthy, as it involves expert sommeliers and a setting that amplifies the experience.

What About the Food and Tasting Experiences?

The local specialties like Pam amb Oli and homemade marmalade are not just snacks but an authentic taste of Mallorca’s culinary traditions. The wine tasting includes a selection of locally produced wines, with knowledgeable guides explaining the different varieties and their characteristics — a rare chance to learn about local wine culture in an intimate setting.
