Does anyone have any experience of No Frills Excursions in Mallorca?
Due to illness we missed out on our holiday last year so have a little bit extra to spend this year.
We are having a fortnight in Majorca and can book excursions through our travel agent but whilst looking at the various attractions (and Trip Advisor!) 'No Frills Excursions' seem to be a good and simple way of pre-booking excursions?
Any experience of this firm - good or bad - very welcome!
Thanks!

I've never heard of them but you could 'do your own thing' and use public transport; here is a map and you could check times when you get there., We have used public transport in some places we have visited.

Thanks Jalima - it is worth considering and thanks for the map link!

We've found that excursions booked through the travel agent are often more expensive, but you can book them with that agent beforehand online and I think they are cheaper.

The trip to Valdemossa and Soller was very good (it is so long since we went there I can't remember if we did our own thing or booked through the agent).

If you don't have the deadline of getting back to a cruise ship and risk it going without you then I would go for it!

We've always found excursions expensive if booked through the travel company. Last time DH and I were abroad, we stayed in Limone on Lake Garda in Italy. We used public transport to take us to places of interest. We'd rather do that, as tours often don't take in all that we want to see, and you are not limited to the tour times.

We did a trip with No Frills, it was the Rural Mallorca one with a BBQ lunch. It was all good fun and quite informative. They pick you up from your hotel, which means a bit of time taken picking up or dropping off others, but if you just regard this as part of the day out, it's fine.
