Mahon Harbour, Binibeca et Xoroi Cave

This was a full day tour (8:30-4:30 from the TUI Blue Victoria hotel). We were picked up and again had Daniel, who is friendly and helpful. You can get a bus yourself to Mahon but we also had a visit to Binibeca and Xoroi Cave. Binibeca wasn’t much to be honest but we enjoyed visiting Mahon and the cave. Mahon felt busier than Ciutadella but we enjoyed our visit. We did a harbour boat tour which was nice and lasted about an hour. it took you up to see some forts which was nice to see and the boat has an audio tour explaining the sites. The bus then took us up the hill to the old town. We again had a short walking tour where Daniel told us places of where to go and we had free time 11:30-1:30. It seemed like ages but by the time you take photos and walk around, it does go quick! I didn’t want to sit in a cafe for two hours so we quickly visited the church and the market and then the Museum of Menorca. I was excited to see the romains of a Roman mosaic but sadly that floor was closed as the air con was broken, but the rest of the museum we could see (and for free, normally four euros). It was good to look around as the second floor had the history of Menorca which reinforced what Daniel had told us on the bus. After this we had to quickly find something to eat by the bus station. We then went to Binibeca, which again, wasn’t much to look at - some white houses which were nice but not that interesting to be honest. We were there for about 40 mins (it went quickly) and then went to our final stop, the cave. I saw reviews saying it wasn’t great but we really enjoyed it! The cave was great and yes it’s a bar but it’s such an awesome venue and it’s by the sea and you get a drink and it plays music, what’s not to love? We were there for 45 mins, plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and take photos before heading back to the coach which dropped us back at our hotel.

Unfortunately this trip was cancelled the afternoon before. It may be offered again in a weeks time, subject to getting enough numbers!

Be careful, you're not visiting Torre d'en Salort. It is unacceptable to announce a visit with 2 hours on site and the entrance included when you do not make it, you pass just in front.. It's from my misleading advertising.Choose another tour operator who follows the description of his course to the letter.

The visit very well and the guide too. It is important to check the pickup, because I put a specific hotel and they sent me an email to go to another hotel, which does not even exist. You're sent to the Port Mahon Hotel, but your name is Seth Port.

The trip to the port of Mahon is really worthwhile because it is immense, not surprisingly the second largest in Europe. Another must-do stop, Binibeca, a town studied as the village of the Smurfs, only it is all white and very original.

We booked this trip independently through TripAdvisor as the similar one available through our holiday company was only available on a Friday (our arrival and departure day) When I first booked it the trip also included Torralba d'en Salord in the 7 hour itinerary but that was removed a few days after the booking was made, which was probably a good thing as we still felt slightly rushed at times specifically at Binibeca where we only had a 45 minute stop, an extra half hour would have made all the difference. The boat trip of Mahon harbour was fantastic and the Xoroi caves were a unique setting with beautiful views but the walking tour round Mahon felt a little basic luckily we had a reasonable amount of time to explore on our own I would recommend going back to The Church of Santa Maria the inside is stunning. Overall, the trip was worth the money, it's a long day, especially as our pickup time for the coach transfer to Mahon was bought forward by 45 minutes 1 day before the event, with a lot packed into it and without that extra 45 mins our free time in Mahon would have been far to short

This trip was well worth the money paid, Daniel was a fantastic tour guide, helpful and informative in every way…showed us all around Mahon (quite a bit of walking) then down a lot of steps to the harbour (there was a lift we were told you could use but it didn’t look like it was open), the glass bottomed boat trip around the harbour was interesting and beautiful, with a chance to see the marine life underneath..Binibeca was a quiet little town off the “tourist “ track but so pretty…the Neolithic village was interesting to visit although they could do with a little cafe there especially in the heat but that’s not a negative just a side note, there is a little kiosk where you can get a drink/postcard though…Xoroi caves were absolutely beautiful, the views of the clear blue sea were amazing, it’s about 100 steps down then obviously back up so just be aware if you have mobility problems (this is stated on excursion info) but you would still get great views from the top, just not the free drink in one of two bars at the bottom, we found it absolutely stunning and so glad we booked this trip, would definitely recommend

The driver never turned up to pick me up despite having contact the day before. Nobody rang or contacted me so I had to contact them. With no answer. When contacting Viator directly they were really helpful and issued a refund immediately. However I wouldn’t recommend the tour as it never happened.

Nicole is the best tour guide. She's from England, but has lived her 40 years. She knows it all. She is very precise with instructions and runs the tour like a pro. We had 5 stops and she saved the best for last. Highly recommend
