What to do and see in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands: The Best Sightseeing Tours

May 11, 2022 Kiesha Cripe

The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

It was a great way to see many of Palma´s attractions and their history. We were a little bit scared at the beginning because it was the first time we used a Segway, but our guide, Jane, teached us how to use it very fast. All the time she was checking if we are ok and also giving us useful tips to be sure that we won´t crush along the way, thing that made us feel very secure. Beside all of this, it was a great experience to learn about the history of Palma and to feel the breeze of the see riding a Segway. We will try the tour other time with other friends for sure!

We were able to enjoy and know the map of the sky of Menorca, the stories that emerged from the constellations at different times, as well as anecdotes and more technical knowledge about the stars. From the first second we enter a path to a cornered place, which promises to be magical, to the last observation through the telescope, everything becomes a unique experience. We leave a little wiser, but motivated to know more, and eager to repeat, and greatful for a good and sincere treatment.

I booked the boat for my husband's birthday. The service was impeccable and friendly. The boat is a lovely size and really clean too. The hire was a very reasonable price for the three hours we had it. We stopped over in two locations that we were recommended and both were lovely to stop and swim in. My best experience of 2019, highly recommend!
