What to expect

If you want to get a feel for Menorca's past, this trip to the island's former capital is ideal. Ciutadella's cobbled lanes, churches and palaces make it a joy to explore by foot. Helen, one of our guides, says "I've lived in Ciutadella for over 30 years and know every single corner, every secret." You'll conclude the tour with some free time to discover more under your own steam or shop for souvenirs.We kick off with a guided tour. There's palm-shaded Plaça d'es Born, considered one of Spain's most beautiful squares. Plus, there are the lavish palaces tucked down the surrounding alleys. You'll visit one of these aristocratic mansions, the 17th-century Casa Olivar, which is stacked with antiques and tapestries, and boasts lavish ceiling frescoes. "The old town is a maze of narrow, winding streets fringed by honey-coloured buildings bathed in sunlight, while the tiny fishing port is pretty as a picture," says Helen.You'll then have a couple of hours to wander around at your own pace. Have a poke around a huge variety of shops in the centre, including places to grab souvenirs, trinkets, clothes and more. It's also market day, offering even more local produce, textiles and leather goods. Don't miss out on picking out some abarcas for yourself – you'll see most of the locals donning these typical Menorquin sandals. Or, use your time to visit a museum or two, head to one of the atmospheric harbour cafés or check out the baroque cathedral. Before the end of your tour, you'll head to Monte Toro, the highest point on the island, for a chance to take in the sea views and take some pics.

We enjoyed seeing more of the Island and Daniel was very knowledgeable and friendly! Excellent job! A little more time would have been good as this was only a half day tour. Especially at the first stop to have had more of a leisurely look around as you have a coffee and biscuit stop included. We were lucky as there was only 2 coaches at this time, at peak busy times you would easily run out of time.

It was a fantastic experience and a great way to learn more about the island’s culture and history. What I particularly enjoyed was that our guide was a local. He was not only knowledgeable but also very engaging—his stories and insights really brought the history of Ciutadella to life. It felt more personal and authentic because he clearly had he clearly had a real passion for his hometown. northern part of the island, where we went up to the highest point in Menorca. The views were stunning.

We had a lovely time, at mount toro you can see a 360 view of the island which was amazing and tried a menorca cake with a drink. The history of the church was fascinating. The walking tour in the old capital was good but I felt personal the guide need to interact with people more and at glances for google up on his phone to find information with was a bit concerning. Overall is was good but don’t book on an extremely hot day.

Only gripe was being collected late and with all the pick ups and drop offs en route, the half day trip starting at 8:30 took most of the day, as we arrived back around 3pm. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyable experience with Daniel who is extremely knowledgeable. Would have liked more free time to explore independently however, so I feel another trip to the beautiful city is necessary.

The city itself was beautiful and well worth the visit. The guide was knowledgeable but a bit difficult to understand at times. Our journey time to Ciutadella was split on the way in and direct on our return. The guided tour was an hour long which leaving 2 hours of free time. We felt that the amount of free time could easily of been extended to allow us to explore more of the area and and would have gave more time for lunch and nosing about without constantly clock watching. Despite that great.

We arrived in Ciutadella at 9.30am with the Coach and had to wait seated in the coach for over 1 hour because the Tour Guide was very late, this was unacceptable. The walking guide of the town and Casa Olivar with the guide was good, but we did waste 1 hour waiting on the coach!
