★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9,957 reviews · 5 hours · from $69Our pick

Review of Palma’s five-hour Magic Catamarans cruise, with coastal coves, swimming, snorkeling, barbecue lunch, drinks, music, and sunset views.

“It was amazing. Great value for money. The crew was fun and very helpful. There was a good choice of songs even though I think the music could have been louder. Listening to innerbloom while watching the sunset on a catamaran is a once in a lifetime experience. When I visit Mallorca again, I will book the magic catamarans with no second thoughts.”

2.Montserrat & Cogwheel Train, Gourmet Wine Tasting & Tapas/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,290 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $81Top rated

Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat cogwheel train, monastery visit, castle winery, organic wine tasting, tapas, lunch, value, and practical tips.

“Absolutely loved it, worth the time & money spent! Mariana was amazing, loved learning about the history of Spain and the history of Montserrat. The bus ride was comfortable and short enough, and the cogwheel train was the same. We were lucky enough to have a lovely, mostly clear day in Montserrat, which made the perfect set up for our wine tasting + tapas session later. This seems like a long tour, but the time you spend at Montserrat actually goes by so fast, because there are so many things to do. So your free time is actually fairly limited here, really would’ve maybe loved another hour or so to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,807 reviews · 5 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $64

Explore Toledo from Madrid on a half or full-day tour with guided walks, historic monuments, optional tapas, and round-trip coach travel.

“Jorge, guide, and Justin, chofer, were very good. We were glad to pick this tour because we were able to visit 5 monuments. Jorge knows his subject and was very kin on answering questions. The only thing is that it was a little hard to understand the English translation. We think it had to do with the earphones. We chose the tapas lunch: wine was good, food was ok and they had us sit at the terrace when it was very hot. The drive back to Madrid was uncomfortable because the a/c was not cooling enough. I should add as a side note because it is not the tour agency’s…”

9.Natural Coves and Beaches Boat Trip & Paella Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,753 reviews · from $63

Cruise Menorca’s south coast from Ciutadella, swim at Son Saura and Cala Turqueta, visit Macarella, and enjoy paella with sangria.

“Nice trip around the island, with 2 stops in 2 of the most beautiful calas in Menorca, where you get the chance to swim in crystal-clear waters (bring your snorkeling kit!). Lunch was good (paella was a solid 7/10, but sangria felt a bit watered, nothing dramatic, but worth mentioning). Yes, the trip it's worth the money, especially since you get the chance to see and experience a lot, without paying for expensive cabs to go around the island. Nice touch the possibility of entering in one of the caves with the boat and actually touch its "roof" for luckRead more”
