Birgit is a Mallorquin through and through and I don’t think you can find a better ambassador for Mallorca than her. We did two VIP tours with her and both were excellent. She had a very energetic and warm personality. She showed us the local gems of Mallorca that we wouldn’t have known about as tourists. We learned about the culture and flavors of the island. She was an excellent driver and guide who ensured our comfort throughout the day. Mallorca is best explored by car and Birgit allowed us to do that without the trouble of renting our own vehicle and finding our own parking (which was often limited in small towns). We just sat back and enjoyed the scenery. I highly recommend Birgit especially if you are any to see the local side of the island.

My wife suggested this excursion and I am so glad she did as it was wonderful. Our guide Birgit met us at our hotel and after collecting two other couples (German & Belgian) we set off on our trip. Our guide Birgit spoke several languages fluently and although our group all understood English she effortlessly flitted between languages to be inclusive. The journey took us into the west coast and the Miramar region where Mallorca History commenced. After a brief stop in beautiful Valledemossa we visited a small isolated Monastery with only 3 monks which was reached after a 15 minute walk uphill but worth it. Birgit confidently negotiated the small twisty roads through the Tramantuna Mountains in the comfortable vehicle continually pinpointing out numerous interesting sights. We visited the island home of the Austrian Archduke Salvador - a popular wedding venue now. At each stop Birgit surprised us with a local delicacy -Ensaimada at one and cheese and biscuits at another. The final stop was in Soller where we visited the only authentic Olive Farm which was very interesting and where we had a lunch in the owner’s kitchen served by the owner who explained everything and we were able to purchase his olive oil. We were also able to sample his own fresh orange Juice and his neighbours red wine all delicious. The trip lasted some 6 hours but time flew and was made even more enjoyable by the conversation on many topics between ourselves and Birgit (an extremely erudite and charming host) such was the interest that we were reluctant to get out at our hotel at the end! We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour and everyone will get something enriching from it. To Birgit - Gracies and thank you for sharing your love of Mallorca with us.

A truly wonderful day spent exploring beautiful and non- touristy parts of the island. We loved the incredible views from the secret viewing spots. The very best way to see the island. The visit to the genuine olive mill was a highlight and the lunch with olives, local wine and the almonds was great. Alvarado was a wonderful host and incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable day. Thoroughly recommended!

Birgit was an exceptional guide and companion for the tour! We have seen and discovered unique places from Soller Valley, Miramar and Valldemossa! Hidden gems and such an amazing cultural experience! Birgit deserves the full praise! 10/10

Our driver and guide Alvaro was a marvelous host in every way. His humour and wonderful warm and happy personality coupled with his vast knowledge of the history and geography of this beautiful area made the day fun, fascinating and unforgettable. One of the many highlights was visiting the 400 year old home and factory of the olive oil family business in Soller, where we enjoyed wonderful food and lovely hospitality. The monasteries we visited and the history of many famous people linked to Mallorca was truly amazing to learn. The mountains and coastline scenery is spectacular. We have been to Mallorca many times and stayed at resorts but this was such a special opportunity to go up into the mountains and through little villages and farmland and we enjoyed every minute. Alvaro also provided traditional snacks along the way, each with a story from the island which were delicious as well as interesting, and of course on such a hot day bottled cold water was provided to us also. The car was very comfortable and we felt we were in very safe and caring hands with our guide. We would highly recommend this expedition. Thank you Alvero!!

We really loved our tour! They showed us beautiful place far away from touristic places. We could discover so many place which were kind of secret place. They told us so many stories as well. They also prepared us some Mallorca snack and it was delicious. We even had a little lunch in a beautiful place where they make olive oil by themselves. The guide was talking in English and in German very well!!! the only little things that I can say is that sometimes it was hard to follow and understand when she was switching to German or switching to English. (We are french). It would be maybe better if we only had a team who speak only English and another team who speak only German for example. But that’s all, everything was so perfect and beautiful and we don’t regret it.

Birgit was out guide for the day. Exect pickup at the hotel, took us to great places we never would have been without this tour. We had a wonderful day.

Amazing tour : very typical, mature oriented, far away from classic touristic attractions! Our guide, Birgit was fantastic: paying attention to every details, sharing with us all her majorcan culture in open minded, simple and cool way !! Really a great experience! Thank you so much Birgit for those beautiful moments we shared together!

I really recommend this trip! We saw a lot of places we did not know before this trip! Our guide (Birgit) shared with us a lot of information about the land and the culture. She was very helpful and even show us some places in our area where we can eat good, local food. We drove thru the most beautiful places in that part of Mallorca and ate a lot of delicious, local food. If you want to see some magic places in Mallorca then really go for it!

Very friendly and competent guide Birgit. We get a lot of insides about Mallorca and the inhabitants. Was really fun to listen and to talk. Also for our two teenaged girls. The handling of the intercom was really easy. Strong recommendation for sightseeing lovers and people who would like to know more about their vacations’s location

To see and experience local history and food was great. The visit to the monastery was the best + Birgit’s great knowledge and enthusiasm.

Thanks to the team of ¨driveando¨ and Birgit, our ¨driveadora¨, for her attention, for her energy and for getting us a little closer to the Balearic culture through history. Above all, for the love and respect She conveyed to every place She took us. Last tuesday was not the best day of the week but we had a magical experience going through La Tramuntana. It really was quite an adventure to drive with the radios knowing secret roads and hermitages. One of our stops was at Monasterio Miramar where we could appreciate the beauty of Mallorca, learn more about its history and feel a different energy in the air, outdoors. Our day ended at Can Det in Soller. We were lucky enough to meet Tomeu, the owner. We learnt a lot about an ancient family tradition of producing artisan olive oil and the growing of the oranges. We were provided for an excellent snack with its own products and traditions, ¨Pan amb oli¨. highly recommended!!!!!!!!

We thought the tour was great. Bridget brought us to places on the island that were beautiful, informative and less touristy. We definitely recommend this tour if you want to see places outside of the city.

Birgit showed us around the area of Miramar and Soller, which was absolutely fantastic. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations by far. She is very knowledgeable, speaks English and German perfectly, is very caring and gave us travel advice and help gar beyond the tour we did. The stories she can tell about the places and the very intelligent discussions about the historic background etc. makes her my favorite tour guide ever. And btw the idea of self drive guided tours is brilliant, everyone can stay in the comfort of their own (rental) cars and the audio quality of the transmitted explanations were perfect throughout the entire journey!! Most magnificent and an experience that truly exceeded our imagination. Thank you so much, Birgit and best wishes, Anna

Birgit is a fantastic tour guide !! She grew up on the island and knows all the nooks and crannies - her English is excellent and she was a pleasure to be with on the tour - giving us a lot of insight into daily life and what makes Mallorca so special. One stop was at a small chapel down a hidden driveway that had an exquisite view of the coast and ocean. The highlight for me was a stop at a small mill that has been making olive oil in small batches for local growers since the early 1500's - watching the process was fascinating and then we had a traditional Mallorcian lunch at the mill. Birgit really designed a great tour to get a feel for the island and added so many special touches - like sampling special local pastries, crackers and cheeses. If you really want to get a feel for the island, its people and its history - contact Driveando and ask for Birgit to be your tour guide !!
