Our take
This is the version of the Sóller train that best suits a family based in the north, as we recommend in the guide: half a day, no driving, and someone handling the connections. It has fewer reviews than the island tour but a good rating, and it leaves the afternoon free for the beach.

Meeting point

The experience
What you will see
- The wooden train from Palma to Sóller, about 60 minutes through the mountains.
- The Sóller tram to Port de Sóller.
- Sóller's main square and the harbour bay.
How it works
You are picked up in northern Mallorca, the coach takes you to Palma, you ride the train to Sóller, the tram to the port and return by coach. A guide stays with you throughout.
Who I recommend it for
- Families staying in the north, as we recommend.
- Anyone who wants the Sóller train in half a day.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Visitors staying in Palma or the south: there are more direct options.
- Anyone who also wants Sa Calobra: see the island tour.
Accessibility
Check with the provider: you board a historic train and tram.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with a full refund.
