Reviews Valldemossa Carthusian Monastery
“Really enjoyed cathedral and would have loved to stay and look round longer”
“We were told that the route was a picturesque drive up the coast rather than from Palma.That didn't happen at all. We were picked up driven to Palma Hippodrome where a number of german tourists swapped coaches. From there we went up the main road. Then on our return (same route straight to Palma) there was very heavy traffic. That's fine, but we took a detour that took 20 minutes to go round 2 roundabouts just to drop the tour guide off first. A bit shoddy. Left to the driver to drop guests off”
