- Soller - Sóller, the commercial and cultural heart of the Sierra, invites us to its main square, ideal for relaxing on a terrace while admiring the church of San Bartolomé and the Banco de Sóller building. Both structures are modernist works by architect Joan Rubió, a disciple of Gaudí, who also designed the church’s façade, featuring a stone-carved rose window. Known as the cradle of modernism, Sóller boasts a rich history reflected in its streets and buildings. The old colonial-style manor houses and palaces narrate the story of how Majorcan merchants amassed fortunes trading oranges in France during the 19th and 20th centuries, and how King Alfonso XIII declared Sóller the city’s commercial and cultural hub.
- Port de Soller - Puerto de Sóller, a natural harbor encircled by mountains, offers a variety of activities and points of interest, along with stunning views. The Port of Sóller has a vibrant maritime history, thanks to its prime location in the Sierra de Tramuntana, which established it as the area’s commercial center and a coveted prize for pirates and smugglers of the past.
- El Tren de Soller - The iconic wooden train of Sóller takes us through the distinctive landscapes of the Sierra de Alfabia in the Sierra Tramuntana and the Valley of Sóller. The journey is filled with the scents of orange and olive trees, nature, and the sea, combined with tunnels, steep mountains, lush forests, and breathtaking views, creating an unforgettable experience.

Lmon.tours palma nova sales office petra - I have seen a few negative reviews with lmon.tours, I have to disagree
I booked 6 trips with this company with sales assistant petra.
The marineland is a must for all ages
We never had any problems with them
The lady in the palma nova office was very helpful, jolly & helpful
Petra advised us which trips would not be suitable for us due to bad arthritis in both knees
She is a lovely lady & I found very friendly & helpful
I would rate lmon.tours 5 stars
Thanks petra, you helped us have a great time on our holiday

Beautiful train ride and superb steps to soler and puerto soler! - Very nice train ride and very well organized and easy to find. Stops in Soler and Puerto soler are superb because it is very beautiful. Be careful to plan a nice hourly amplitude because we want to stay there and enjoy these two beautiful stages. The return train is packed so if you can, leave in the morning and come back before the rush , preferably before 18:00 .......and be careful not to miss the last train home. Very nice memory for us.

Could be better - We did the half day tour this week, it was a lovely day and we were picked up 20 minutes after time given which was a shame as that 20 minutes would have given us time to get breakfast at the hotel. Anyway our guide was lovely , named Virginia I think, we were mainly English speaking on the bus so she spoke to us on the mic then spoke to the French holiday makers separately. We were taken directly to Puerto de soller and were given 40 mins to grab a coffee and go to the toilet before getting the tram to Soller, we really enjoyed the scenic journey (sit facing front on the right) and the scenery was stunning, again just 40 minutes to explore Soller before getting the train back to Palma. There was a little market on , such a lovely town, the scenery on the train was amazing (both sides in turn) we stood on the footplate between the carriages.
All in all I would say do it but I’d have liked a little more time at stops but I will re visit both when next in Majorca.

Tram & Train Great, free time in the locations Not So Great - It was very rushed. Only 15 minutes of free time in each location. Didn’t get to experience the locations at all. The tram and train were nice.

Circuit to Sóller - The seller at the Perguera agency is good advice. We made the boat, tram and train tour to Sóller. Very nice and beautiful discoveries. We wish we had more time in Soller. If the Viviane Guide knows his job well. Too bad she's so unkind. She could avoid making unpleasant remarks about the French bordering on rasist.

Hopeless if you have mobility issues but great if you don’t - Hopeless if you have mobility issues. The steps are too high, there is no special area for people with mobility issues to board with help ( like shallower steps or to take time ) and no special boarding zone so you miss getting on the packed trams and have to wait another half an hour to join a fight to get on the next one ( if your going down to the port of Soller )

Take the Bus not the train - Save your money
Small jammed
Packed train and tram that goes through mostly boring fields
We took it one way and then bussed back which is way cheaper , faster and more comfortable
Soller and Port Soller are worth the visit but not by this train

Stressful day with an uncomfortable atmosphere - I was really looking forward to this trip but it was really quite awful. We booked through our hotel and they gave us the impression it was a return trip on the train and tram - fair enough, we could have checked but we didn’t actually get the name of the company until after we had booked. The tour was advertised as 1.15 -7pm. We were the first stop for the coach and as we approached a very abrupt woman (Carmen) got off and barked at us to stay there until she went to get the guest list. When she returned she was horrified at my mother’s walking stick and strongly suggested that we wouldn’t be able to keep up. Again, nothing had been said about mobility limitations on what we had expected would be a very gentle trip. We were told we would need to be able to walk for “12 minutes at a NORMAL pace” and that we couldn’t get a taxi. No one had asked for one…
It took two and a half hours to pick everyone up and get to Palma where we changed buses in a downpour. Carmen took everyone in one direction to start with and then we all had to go back the way we came to find the correct bus. Everyone was soaked. I’m assuming by this time that we were running late and I think the train may have been held for our group as no-one was allowed to visit the toilets before getting on.
The train and tram ride were both lovely but we only had 20 minutes to look around Soller and 45 minutes in Port Soller before the famed “12 minute walk at NORMAL pace” - given that this was back to the coach I don’t know what the rush was. My mum managed it fine but another lady with a walking stick had an asthma attack.
There was no commentary or conversation at all from Carmen until the drive home on the coach. She apologised a number of times for the weather but the weather was bearable, it was her attitude that made for a miserable day. Several people were told off by her during the course of our tour!
I wish we had gone with our initial plan and made our own arrangements but I absolutely would not recommend this company.
The bus driver was lovely!

Port Sóller & Sóller - Pick up time was 8.20am with instructions to phone if bus was more than 15 mins late …. Phoned after 25 mins to be told it was on its way, arrived 50 mins late, no apology or explanation from the driver. Had at least another 3 pick ups enroute with one couple refusing point blank to get in the bus as it was so late. Arrived in Palma to be told we had to transfer to another bus & the passengers on board had been waiting 40 mins for us. The tour guide Antonia was really lovely & explained everything that was going to happen with very clear instructions. Arrived in Port Sóller after a short walk from the bus, absolutely beautiful part of Mallorca however because we were so late we literally had time (20mins) to go to bathroom & buy a bottle of water before heading back to meeting point for tram to Sóller, this was so disappointing as we would’ve loved to explore the port & sit down for a coffee. Tram was fab, arrived in Sóller & yet again hardly any time to explore this beautiful part of Mallorca, visited the square, walked along one the streets & found a fab bakery, grabbed a takeaway coffee & pastry then back for train to Palma (25mins top). Wooden train takes you through some stunning scenery, 45 mins later arrived outside Palma then back on bus for transfers back to pick up points. This took forever as we were one of the last stops & there were at least 7-8 drop offs. The overall experience was so disappointing, we can’t help but think that because they were running so late it curtailed our time, our advice … do not book this trip with Lemon Tours, not worth the money.

Terrible. - Disaster! We had an appointment at 14:30 no one (no driver) came, no one told us when I had sent messages. We had been waiting 40 minutes and no one was there. I clearly do not recommend this activity.
