Valldemossa, Deia and Soller with English Speaking Guide

Overview

Your Venture Ashore representative will collect you from your cruise ship terminal and escort you to your air conditioned transportation which is parked right by your cruise ship.

This popular half-day tour offers fantastic photo opportunities, breathtaking views, an opportunity to view the scenic beauty, and the chance to see the ‘other’ Mallorca – the one that mass tourism hasn’t discovered yet. Your coaches or mini-coaches have an official English-speaking guide depart and return to the port (transportation will be parked alongside your cruise ship, not a lot of walking to meet your tour, we have access to the port).

VALLDEMOSSA - We journey through the stunning Mallorcan countryside to Valldemossa – a beautiful town located 15 kilometers north of Palma and surrounded by the Tramuntana mountain range. This well-maintained town with its old streets, charming buildings, well-kept gardens, hanging baskets, and small street cafeterias and bars create a relaxing atmosphere. The most famous attraction is the Cartuja de Valldemossa. This monastery was the home of Frederic Chopin, the Polish composer, and his partner George Sand during the Winter of 1838-39. Entrance to the monastery is optional and is approx. 13 Euros (payable locally).

DEIA – dating back to the pre-historic era - is a small village with just over 850 inhabitants. Rock-built houses dot the hillsides and valley, building controls are exceptionally strict here to ensure the character and ambiance of the village is kept. Since 1946 when the artist Robert Graves made Deia his home the village has been a meeting place for artists. Deia is also very famous with Celebrities, your guide will point out the 'special celebrity' houses!!

SOLLER – Soller town with its’ central plaza (ideal for sampling a cool drink and traditional tapas), small gardens with lemon trees and flowers along the streets. One of the most impressive sights of Soller is the church designed by a student of the renowned architect Gaudi – centrally located; the church is open to the public except during the afternoon siesta period. In Soller there is a delightful Ice Cream Factory that produces up to 38 flavors of ice cream... why not treat yourself to the true Mallorcan Ice cream.

Venture Ashore guarantees to get you back to the port in plenty of time.
