Soller train ride and town is worth the visit.
We attended the Soller Train and Tram Half day tour on 9/28. Our tour guide was Pelaya. Due to the tour, we had a dedicated car on the Soller train which provided enough room for the group. The train ride was a relaxing ride out to Soller. Once in Soller, we were given about 30 minutes to explore the town. From Soller, we took a tram ride to Playa en Repic which was a beach town. We then had about 30 minutes to walk around. The best part for us is that we were coming from a cruise group and Pelaya and the bus driver actually dropped us off at our Cruise terminal even though our original meeting point was at Poppa's which would have been about a 20 minute bus ride back to the ship. Also, we would recommend that more time was available at Soller and less time in the beach town since the beach town really is just to get something to eat and take a break.

It’s busy and loud it was...
It’s busy and loud it was enjoyable but lots of people and lots of sitting and would liked more time to explore the town more
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! 😊🚂 We’re glad you still enjoyed the experience despite the crowds. The Sóller half-day tour is primarily about the historic wooden train and tram journey, with spectacular scenery along the route, rather than spending a long time exploring Sóller itself. We understand you would have liked more time in town, but the short format allows you to experience these iconic Mallorca journeys in just half a day. 💙🌴 Select 20 more words to run Humanizer.

Sóller Half-Day Excursion – Great Fun!
We had a fantastic time on the Sóller half-day excursion. Our guide, Camy, was brilliant — full of enthusiasm and really helped make the experience enjoyable. The tour is primarily about experiencing the historic train and tram rather than exploring Sóller itself, but the train journey is awesome, with some fantastic views along the way. The tram was great fun too. It was busy, as you'd expect in high season, but the driver kindly let our five-year-old daughter stand up next to him for the journey, which she absolutely loved! The final destination, Port de Sóller, is beautiful, and there was enough free time to have a paddle in the sea and enjoy an ice cream before heading back. They might be called No Frills, but we certainly had plenty of thrills on this half-day trip! Despite it being high season and very busy, it was a really enjoyable experience. Thank you, Camy, for making it such a memorable trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🚂🚋🌴 We're delighted that you had such a memorable time on our **Sóller Half-Day Excursion** and that **Camy's** enthusiasm helped make the experience even more enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to her! As you rightly point out, this excursion is primarily about experiencing Mallorca's **historic Sóller train and tram**, with spectacular mountain scenery along the way, rather than spending a long time exploring Sóller itself. We're also pleased that you had enough free time in Port de Sóller to enjoy a paddle and an ice cream. 🍦🌊 High season can certainly mean busy trains and trams, but we're thrilled that this didn't stop you and your family from having such a great time. And we absolutely love your final line — **“No Frills, plenty of thrills!”** 😄 Thank you for choosing **Nofrills Excursions**. We hope to welcome you back for more thrills on your next Mallorca adventure! 💙

Awful frightening experience
Absolutely awful customer service. Missed coach back due to guides mis information, Left to fend by myself to get back to hotel over an hour away. No help or concern for my welfare. Disgraceful. Do not book
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, your version of events is simply not accurate. There were 55 passengers on the excursion that day. Every single one of them was at the agreed meeting point at the agreed time except you. The guide clearly explained the meeting place and departure time, and all other guests managed to return without any issues. When you called the guide, the main problem was that you were unable to explain where you were. In fact, despite several attempts, neither the guide nor our office could determine your location because the information you provided was unclear and inconsistent. It is extremely difficult to help someone when they cannot identify where they are. Despite this, the guide remained at the meeting point for almost 15 minutes beyond the scheduled departure time, causing delays for the other passengers. Eventually, it became impossible to continue making dozens of other guests wait, and you were advised to take a taxi back. What is particularly surprising is that after the excursion you visited our office, where the situation was reviewed in detail, including the timings and sequence of events. During that conversation, it was acknowledged that the problem arose because your mother had become separated from the group and lost track of the meeting arrangements. To claim that you were abandoned, that nobody helped you, or that we showed no concern for your welfare is therefore completely contrary to what actually happened. Both the guide and our office assisted you throughout the situation, despite the fact that missing the departure was entirely outside our control. We understand that missing the coach was frustrating, but it is unfair to blame the company for an issue that resulted from not being at the agreed meeting point at the agreed time. — The Nofrills Excursions Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mallorca.
How much does Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mallorca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mallorca is not rushed.
Is Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mallorca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mallorca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mallorca and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mallorca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mallorca?
+
On Outty we rank every Mallorca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mallorca Full Day Tour Valldemossa Deià and Sóller Experience, Cala des Moro, S’Almunia & Best Coves, SUP & Snorkel by Van, Luxury Catamaran sailing with welcome Drinks Tapas Max10-12Person. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mallorca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is Mallorca: Exclusive Soller Train and Tram Half-Day Tour offered in?
+
