Superb day but needs improvement
Superb day but the stop time for the market part in the morning is much too short. We have very little time and so it is impossible to visit the city which looks superb and to do the whole market, it is a real shame that the stopover time is not at least 2 hours on site... or even 2 hours and 30 minutes. We only had just 1 hour and 20 minutes. Formentor beach is magnificent, clean, transparent water!!!! Overall a very good day, but be aware that you still have almost 3 hours on the bus during the day.
Operator response
Merci de la part de toute l’équipe de No Frills Excursions pour votre commentaire détaillé. 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une très belle journée et surtout que vous ayez autant apprécié la plage de Formentor, avec son eau transparente et son magnifique environnement naturel. 🌊
Nous comprenons tout à fait que vous auriez aimé disposer de davantage de temps au marché. C’est toujours le défi de cette excursion : elle a été conçue pour combiner deux expériences très différentes de Majorque dans une seule journée, avec d’un côté l’ambiance d’un marché local et de l’autre les paysages spectaculaires de Formentor, sa plage et la découverte de cette partie de la côte.
Prévoir 2h ou 2h30 au marché serait agréable, mais cela nous obligerait malheureusement à réduire considérablement le temps consacré à Formentor. Nous préférons donc maintenir un équilibre permettant de profiter réellement des deux parties de l’excursion plutôt que de simplement passer rapidement par Formentor.
Concernant le temps en autocar, il faut effectivement tenir compte des distances : l’excursion part du sud de Majorque et nous traversons une grande partie de l’île pour rejoindre Formentor, tout au nord. 🚌 C’est aussi ce qui permet, en une seule journée, de découvrir des visages très différents de Majorque.
Merci également pour votre remarque, qui sera très utile aux futurs voyageurs pour savoir à quoi s’attendre. Nous sommes surtout heureux que, dans l’ensemble, vous gardiez le souvenir d’une **« superbe

absolutely good for the value
if you are solo traveling like me and you don’t have a car (highly recommended for mallorca) then this tour will fit you very well, it takes you to very nice places which are perhaps MUSTs in mallorca and for that price is worth it, the guide is ok but the places are really worth it, and also you get AC in the bus so it’s very comfortable. and well as it is a tour you don’t get to stay for that long in some places like formentor but the time is fine for the price it was like 2:30 hours so you can visit all the place around at formentor which is beautiful but obviously very crowded because you’re not the only group there, the only thing is that it’s hard to recognize the bus as they don’t provide any information further than the pick up places and this place is full of other buses just like yours, i had to email them to tell me which is the number of my bus so it’s a bit disorganized at the pick up place (at least for palma pick up)
Operator response
Thank you for such a detailed and helpful review! 🌴🚤😊
We're delighted that you found the Formentor tour excellent value, particularly as a solo traveller without a car. This is exactly one of the advantages of the excursion: comfortably reaching some of northern Mallorca's must-see places, combining the spectacular Formentor scenery, free time and boat trip without having to organise transport yourself.
We're also pleased that you appreciated the air-conditioned coach and felt there was enough time to enjoy Formentor, especially during August when this beautiful area is naturally very popular.
Thank you for mentioning the Palma meeting point. Several excursion coaches can be there at the same time, which can make identifying the correct bus less obvious. We're glad our team could provide the bus number when you contacted us, and we'll take your feedback into account when reviewing how this information is communicated.
Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions and for recommending the experience to other travellers! 💙🌴

¡Muchas gracias por su fantástica reseña! 🌊☀️🚤
Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutó de la excursión y que todo, desde la puntualidad hasta la atención de nuestro equipo, estuvo a la altura de sus expectativas.
La playa de Formentor es, sin duda, uno de los rincones más espectaculares de Mallorca, y combinarla con el paseo en barco y la visita al mercado local hace que sea una experiencia muy completa para descubrir el norte de la isla.
¡Muchas gracias por su recomendación y por elegir Nofrills Excursions! Esperamos volver a darle la bienvenida muy pronto para otra aventura inolvidable en Mallorca. 💙🌴

Beautiful day
We had a good day. There is enough time between each stop to enjoy the program.
However, there were a lot of people on the beach and in Alcudia. We didn't see much on the boat despite being on the top deck.
Operator response
Merci d'avoir partagé votre expérience ! 🌊🚤🌴
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une belle journée et que vous ayez apprécié le rythme de l'excursion, avec suffisamment de temps pour profiter de chaque étape.
En été, des lieux très populaires comme la plage de Formentor et Alcúdia attirent naturellement de nombreux visiteurs. Nous comprenons également votre remarque concernant la promenade en bateau. Selon la place à bord et les conditions de navigation, la visibilité peut varier, même depuis le pont supérieur.
Merci d'avoir choisi Nofrills Excursions. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre découverte de Majorque ! 💙☀️

Restful
A beautiful day out on a boat trip. Swimming and being on the beach in Formentor was heaven even though extremely busy. Very scenic and restful especially for my last day. Well worth it.
Operator response
Sehr geehrte Cornelia,
Ihre Bewertung vermittelt leider ein etwas verzerrtes Bild der Realität.
Die Mallorca in One Day Tour ist einer der beliebtesten Ausflüge der Insel und führt durch die Serra de Tramuntana — eine Bergregion mit historischen und kurvenreichen Straßen. Genau deshalb werden dort professionelle Reisebusfahrer mit viel Erfahrung eingesetzt. Unsere Fahrer fahren diese Strecke täglich und sicher seit vielen Jahren.
Zu behaupten, die Busse seien „zu groß“, ignoriert die Tatsache, dass genau diese Straßen seit Jahrzehnten von Reisebussen, öffentlichen Linienbussen und lokalen Fahrzeugen genutzt werden.
Bezüglich der Organisation: Diese Tour kombiniert Bus, Boot, Straßenbahn und historischen Zug an nur einem Tag. Das erfordert eine präzise Koordination mit festen Fahrplänen. Trotz der hohen Besucherzahlen funktioniert die Tour jeden Tag mit hunderten zufriedenen Gästen sehr erfolgreich.
Mallorca ist zudem eine der beliebtesten Destinationen Europas. Wer im Mai oder in der Hochsaison reist, wird natürlich auch andere Touristen antreffen — besonders bei bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten und ikonischen Routen.
Bei Nofrills Excursions, mit über 20 Jahren Erfahrung auf Mallorca, sind wir stolz darauf, eine der komplettesten und bestorganisierten Inselrundfahrten anzubieten. 🌴🚆🚤✨
— Ihr Nofrills Excursions Team

Sports and vacation
Stunning location both for nature and from an artistic point of view; there are many art galleries..
Fun, sports, and fabulous nightlife.
Here, everyone seems a bit British...crazy about golf.
Slightly expensive.
Operator response
Grazie mille per la tua recensione! 🌴☀️ Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato il tour Formentor con gita in barca + mercato locale e l’atmosfera così speciale di questa parte di Maiorca.
Formentor e il nord dell’isola offrono davvero una combinazione unica di natura spettacolare, arte, sport e vita mediterranea 😊⛳
Maiorca è una destinazione molto internazionale e popolare, soprattutto in alta stagione, ed è vero che alcune zone possono risultare un po’ più costose — ma proprio per questo cerchiamo sempre di offrire escursioni ben organizzate e con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Con Nofrills Excursions, da oltre 20 anni esperti a Maiorca, lavoriamo per far vivere il meglio dell’isola ai nostri clienti.
Grazie ancora e speriamo di rivederti presto! ✨🌊

Great day trip
We travelled in a comfortable coach & visited a huge market at Sineu which had lots of clothes but also food and artisan work.
We then headed to Port de Pollença for a boat to Formentor & spent time in the gorgeous sandy beach & calm clear sea.
On the way back by coach we stopped at Mirador de Es Colomar for a stunning view. We really enjoyed the day.
Operator response

It’s one of our favourites too — combining the lively Sineu market, a scenic boat ride from Port de Pollença, relaxation on the beautiful Formentor Beach, and the breathtaking views from Mirador de Es Colomer.
At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience, we love creating well-organised tours that blend authentic local life with Mallorca’s most stunning landscapes. We’re so glad you had a great day and hope to welcome you again soon! 🚤🌞

Formentor views
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
