i'm not so sure you should do these things with your rep.
almost every trip can be done through one of the local travel agents instesd
often they have better times than the tour company, less crowded, cheaper!
for example western waterpark, local agent was offering 2 adults and up to 4 kids for 60% cheaper than tour company, admittedly this was in magalluf. but the tour company one still charged for coach even though it is just about walk able or about 4 euro cab ride!

Have you thought of hiring a car. We find in the long run a lot cheaper than going on tours. Also, come and go as you please.

Look on Trip Advisor website, there is ideas and reviews about lots of different trips. When you decide what trips you want to do check prices with your hotel reception, sometimes they can give you a good deal.

There's one trip most companies do, where you go on the "orange train" between Soller and Palma. Sometimes there is also a boat trip round Soller harbour, and a coach ride over the mountains. It's quite a long day out but you see lots of things.

You can't really do a tour OF the whole island, as it is quite a big island!

thanks everyone will try your ideasxphx

Then I agree with the majority. Try the local tour operators, you will get a better deal that the company rep.

Hi Parker,

when in July are you going? We return on Sat 11th july so if you have not already gone I will tell you how we got on and who we went where with as we are a couple with no children and Non-drivers so will be reliant upon tours and local transport!! I know there is a brand new show opening called 'Come Fly With Me' I looked on the internet and it looks quite expensive but a really good show so maybe as a special treat!! We have done Son Amar so many times in the past so I think its time for a new show. We go on 27th June so let me know your dates.
Cheers!
Tony
