How to get to Liverpool from London
Liverpool is about 220 miles or 355 kilometers from London. While you can drive, by far the best way to get to Liverpool from London is by train. You can find all the practical information for your journey below.
The best and easiest way to travel to Liverpool from London is by train. A direct train from London’s Euston rail station to Liverpool Lime Street station takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. The train makes several stops on the route but you do not have to change trains. The journey is quick, relaxing, and comfortable.
Direct trains from Euston Station run once an hour. There are also indirect trains more frequently, but the journey takes longer, so it’s not something to even consider for a day trip. Here you can see train schedules and get tickets.
TIP: For a Liverpool day trip from London, we recommend that you take a train at around 7 am. This will allow you to make the most of your day. !!! The day tour from London to Liverpool that we mentioned above already includes a train ticket with departure at around this time.
Good to know: If you book your own train tickets, you should know that the cheapest rail tickets are released about 12 weeks in advance so book your tickets as early as you can. This is particularly important as you will need to depart London at peak travel times to ensure a full day in Liverpool. Peak travel times are before 9.30 am on weekdays. The train will be busier and tickets are usually more expensive.
Good to know: Children under 5 years are free on English trains but they are not guaranteed a seat unless you pay for one.
TIP: If you are traveling as a family, it may prove more cost-effective to buy and download a digital Family and Friends Railcard. This card costs £30 for one year and gives discounted rail travel for up to four adults (33% off) and four children aged 5-15 (60% off). This might not make sense for just one train journey, but can be of great value if you are planning more train trips in the UK.
London to Liverpool drive time is 4 hours 15 minutes without stops or traffic delays. It is a 220-mile / 355-kilometer journey. You will need to take a break on route so you need to allocate at least five hours for a one-way trip.
Plus, most of the route is on major motorways so it is not a scenic journey. You will also need to find parking once you arrive and pay parking fees. So we do not recommend driving to Liverpool from London, and definitely not if you just have a day or two.
With a rail tour
As already mentioned before, you can also book a day tour from London to Liverpool. There are several options and none of them is an actual organized tour. Instead, you receive train tickets, the Magical Mystery Tour in Liverpool is prebooked for you, and you also get other tickets and information to help you plan a perfect visit on your own.
The best option for this trip at the moment is this highly-rated tour. It takes away lots of guesswork and preparation.
TIP: No matter how you book your train tickets, read below on how to actually plan your time once you get to Liverpool.
London to Liverpool day trip itinerary
Below, you can find all the details, practical information, and useful tips on what to see and how to plan your day in Liverpool.
Early morning: arrive in Liverpool & walk to Albert Dock
Catch the 07.07 am train from London Euston to Liverpool. This train arrives at Liverpool Lime Street Station around 9.20 am.
Follow the signs to the Royal Albert Dock which is just 1 mile away, about 20 minutes on foot.
You could also shorten the walk by catching the Merseyrail from Liverpool Lime Street for two stops to James Street. From here, it is a shorter 10-minute walk to the Royal Albert Dock. But by the time you figure out where to be, you’ll likely be halfway already. So we recommend simply walking.
Follow the signs to The Beatles Story, the first stop on your Liverpool day trip itinerary. You will walk past the historic Salthouse Dock before reaching Albert Dock where The Beatles Story is located. Salthouse Dock is the oldest dock in Liverpool. Its walls are Grade II listed and parts of it date back to the mid-18th century.
TIP: If you feel like stopping for a cup of coffee or a quick late breakfast, you’ll find a few cafes at the docks. A good option right along your way is Rubens Coffee Albert Dock, which is open daily from 8.30 am. However, it would be better to eat on the train or take some coffee to go upon arrival in Liverpool and head straight to The Beatles Story.
The Beatles Story
The largest Beatles museum in the world, The Beatles Story is one of the must-sees in Liverpool. It charts the history of The Beatles from their formation to their breakup. The stories, history, and music of The Beatles come alive through artifacts such as clothes, letters, song lyrics, stage outfits, and instruments.
You can also see recreations of the famous Abbey Road recording studios and a mock-up of the original Cavern Club stage. Kids will get the most fun out of the interactive Discovery Zone.
Good to know: The Beatles Story is a self-guided tour so you can stay as long or as little as you like. Audio commentaries are available in many different languages. Count around 1.5 hours for a visit.
TIP: The Beatles Story is one of the most popular attractions in Liverpool, so expect it to be busy. Ideally, you come here first thing in the morning, which should help you to avoid the biggest crowds.
Practical information: The Beatles Story is open daily except on the 25-26 of December. You can get timed skip-the-line tickets here. For this itinerary, it’s probably best to book tickets at around or a bit after 10 am.
Lunch at The Royal Albert Dock
Spend lunchtime wandering the colorful, lively Royal Albert Docks which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A good option for lunch is the Peaberry Coffee House. It has a wide-ranging menu including a good-value kids menu. Breakfast is served until 12.30 pm when the lunch menu starts. Pre-booking is recommended.
For something a little different, try The Smugglers Cove. This pirate-themed pub has a two-course menu for kids and an extensive menu for adults. It also offers a traditional roast dinner on Sundays.
Both of these restaurants are just next to The Beatles Story, and you’ll find plenty of other choices in the area. Keep in mind, however, that going for lunch at a restaurant will take up a lot of your precious time.
TIP: If the weather’s nice, you can also pick up a takeaway lunch from any of the cafes or street food stands on the Docks. Enjoy a picnic on the grass or on a bench on the waterfront. This is a great spot to people watch, enjoy street performances, or watch the ferries on the Mersey.
With some extra time to spare, you could pop into Tate Liverpool or Maritime Museum (both free to enter). There are also a couple of short attractions that are ideal for kids including a Victorian-era carousel and riding the Wheel of Liverpool.
However, with just a day in Liverpool, you’ll probably have a pretty tight itinerary, so we recommend concentrating on the main places and activities that you really want to see and do.
Since you only have one day in Liverpool, you’ll have to make some tough choices on how to spend your afternoon in the city. Below, we highlight two of the best options for your first visit – one for The Beatles fans, and one for those who want to see more of Liverpool.
And no, you really can’t see ‘everything’ on a day trip to Liverpool. But the good news is that both options are really nice and so you really can’t go wrong with either. Take a look!
Option 1: Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Take the Magical Mystery Bus Tour, a popular Beatles-themed tour that visits all the major Beatles landmarks in Liverpool. This is one of the most popular things to do for first-time visitors to Liverpool, and a must for The Beatles fans. It’s also the option that is included with the self-guided tours from London that we talked about earlier in this article.
Conveniently, the tour departs from The Royal Albert Dock, so it’s really easy to do with just a day in Liverpool. This will help to minimize your walking on your day trip to Liverpool. If you decide on this option, be sure to book the Magical Mystery Tour in advance. Depending on the season and availability, you could opt for a tour at 1 pm or at 2 pm.
Good to know: This is a 2-hour guided bus tour. You will get to see a lot of Liverpool as well as all the main Beatles landmarks. The coach makes brief stops at Geroge Harrison and Paul McCartney’s childhood homes, at Strawberry Fields, and at Penny Lane. Other locations (such as schools that The Beatles attended) are drive pasts.
The tour is led by a knowledgeable and entertaining guide and accompanied, of course, by music from the Fab Four. The tour culminates at the legendary Cavern Club.
TIP: Be sure to use a bathroom before you board the coach as it does not have toilet facilities.
PRO TIP: If you don’t like big-bus tours, you can also book a similar Beatles-themed tour by private taxi.
Option 2: Liverpool waterfront and the River Mersey
If a visit to The Beatles Story in the morning is plenty of the Fab Four for you, you can opt for an alternative itinerary for the afternoon. In that case, focus on Liverpool’s historic waterfront, which has a lot to offer.
From the Royal Albert Dock, walk along the pedestrianized waterfront to the iconic Royal Liver Building (more info below). It is just a short walk of around 15 minutes.
On the way, you will pass Lovers Locks and several statues including ‘Billy Fury’ and ‘The Working Horse’. An evocative statue is ‘The Crossing’ (sometimes called ‘Legacy’) which depicts a young family emigrating to the United States. Liverpool was the departure point for thousands of families seeking a better life in the U.S.
TIP: The most visited statue on the waterfront is The Beatles statue at Pier Head. The lifelike bronze statues have captured The Beatles in their happier early years. Look out for the extraordinary details on the statues that hint at future life paths such as George Harrison’s Sanskrit belt.
Royal Liver Building 360
The Royal Liver Building dates back to the early 1900s and is a Grade-I listed building. Sitting on top of the building are the symbols of Liverpool, the famous Liver birds.
On the ground floor, you’ll find the Visitor Center (free to enter). Exhibitions inside detail how the building was constructed and its colorful history. In addition, we highly recommend the Royal Liver Building 360 experience.
This guided tour gives you access to the 10th and 15th floors where you can get a fantastic 360-degree view of Liverpool. There is also a newly opened audio-visual display in the clock tower.
Good to know: The full tour is not suitable for people with access difficulties. You can travel to the 10th floor by lift but from here, the 15th floor can only be accessed by stairs.
Practical information: If you want to go to the top, be sure to book the tickets for a specific time slot in advance. You will need to allocate 70 minutes for the guided tour. Count at least 1.5 hours for the overall visit.
River Mersey Cruise
After all the sightseeing, you can rest weary feet with a 50-minute sightseeing cruise on the River Mersey.
The cruise departs directly opposite the Liver Building at Pier Head. It travels a loop of the River so you can see both the Liverpool and Wirral skyline. The route travels as far as Dockers Clock and Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral. There’s also an audio commentary so you can learn about the buildings you are seeing as well as the city’s rich maritime past.
Practical Information: Ferries depart every hour on the hour. Pre-booking is advised. Arrive at the dock at least 15 minutes before your departure time.
Good to know: There is both indoor and outdoor seating available on the boat. We recommend dressing warmly and staying outside.
After your cruise, walk from Pier Head to The Cavern Club on Mathew St. It’s a short 10-minute walk.
Late afternoon: The Cavern Club
No matter which option you choose above, The Cavern Club will be the next stop on your itinerary. If you booked the Magical Mystery Tour, it ends here (and the entrance to the Cavern Club is included in your ticket). And if you opted for the second sightseeing option, you can easily walk here after your river cruise.
The Cavern Club is forever linked with The Beatles. It is where they launched their career. But the club still operates as a music venue today.
The club has a main stage for daily live music and a separate live lounge for special events. Live music is performed each day from 11.15 am. Beatles tribute bands also perform here. Check the lineup for the day of your visit here.
Practical Information: Unless you go with one of the tours where the standard entry to the club is included, you cannot pre-book The Cavern Club and have to pay at the door on entry. However, you can pre-book events in the live lounge. A ticket for the live lounge includes general admission to the rest of the club but not vice versa.
Good to know: Children are welcome in The Cavern Club but only until 8 pm.
TIP: Mathew Street where Cavern Club is located is home to some of Liverpool’s most popular statues. Be sure to visit the John Lennon and Cilla Black statues.

Before you leave from Liverpool back to London, you’ll likely want to have some dinner.
If you are looking for traditional British food, The Cavern Restaurant is a good option. It has a surprisingly affordable menu for such a popular location. Its restaurant sits two floors above the basement music venue and the menu has a wide range of options. The restaurant serves a traditional fish, mushy peas, and chip dinner. You can also try ‘Scouse’, a Liverpudlian dish made from stewed beef and vegetables.
A popular option nearby is Smoke & Dough. This is a highly rated restaurant in Liverpool ONE, just 5 minutes walk from The Cavern Club. If you order meat, it is cooked in front of you on a grill at your table. Kids will be mesmerized.
Another nice place for dinner is Lunya. This is a popular Catalonian tapas restaurant on Hanover Street, a 7-minute walk from The Cavern Club. They have an extensive menu that includes a street food section, and a very extensive kids’ menu. Plus, for the end of a long day of sightseeing, there is a long cocktail menu.
Evening – back to London
Return to Liverpool Lime Street Station to catch the train back to London Euston. The railway station is just about 0.5 miles, 10 minutes walk from the Cavern Club or the above-mentioned restaurants.
The direct trains to London leave once every hour and take around 2 hours and 15 minutes. The last direct train leaves at around 8.48 pm, although times vary.
Of course, you can also opt for an earlier train, but booking one of the latest direct trains would allow you to make the most of your day trip to Liverpool.

Tips for Visiting Liverpool from London
Here are some practical tips and info that you may want to know when planning a day trip to Liverpool:
- Take a very early train from London and a late train back as it will give you a full day in Liverpool. You can rest or catch up on sleep on the train. Also, arrive at the station well in advance – it can be overwhelming when busy.
- Avoid traveling by train on a Monday or Friday morning. Also, tickets on a weekend usually cost more. Either way, get your tickets in advance.
- Pick up a continental breakfast at London Euston or nearby before you board the train. This will save buying expensive food on the train. It will also save you time once you arrive in Liverpool. There are several cafes, supermarket outlets, and pastry shops on the Euston Station concourse. Some of them are open as early as 6 am.
- Book in advance. This counts for all the attractions you want to visit and the tours you wish to take, but also restaurants (especially for dinner). It will save lots of queuing time, especially in peak season, AND you’ll be sure you can actually visit the places you want at the best time that fits your sightseeing itinerary.
- You can use online maps, or download one to your phone before you arrive in Liverpool. This day trip to Liverpool itinerary minimizes walking, but it’s useful to have a map to guide you from one place to another.
- Unless you want to be part of the action, avoid visiting Liverpool on football match days. Liverpool city center gets very busy when Liverpool or Everton host a home game. You can check the match schedules here. Similarly, the city is very busy when horse racing is on at the nearby Aintree Racecourse. The busiest day is on Grand National Day in early April.
- Wear comfortable shoes. As with all city trips, you’ll be walking a lot, so be sure that your footwear is comfortable and your clothing is adapted to the ever-changing English weather.

Tips for Saving Money in the Philippines
Take note of these important tips to help you lessen your spending when in the Philippines:
Book in advance
Save money by making an online flight booking and hotel booking ahead of time. Rates are often cheaper when booked in advance, allowing you to take advantage of early booking discounts. Consider booking with agencies like Guide to the Philippines that offer flexible cancellation terms, giving you peace of mind in case your plans change.
Take public or shared transportation when possible
Opt for public transportation or shared airport and city transfers whenever possible to save money on transportation costs. Shared transfers and sea transfers are economical alternatives for traveling around, helping you save money while exploring the Philippines.
Stay at budget-friendly hotels
When visiting the Philippines, consider staying at budget-friendly hotels. These accommodations offer affordable rates without sacrificing comfort. Look for guesthouses, hostels, or budget hotels that provide basic amenities at lower prices. By choosing budget-friendly accommodation, you can save more money for exploring attractions and experiencing local culture. Keep an eye out for discounts or promotions offered by these hotels to maximize your savings during your stay.
Go where the locals eat
Choose local eateries and street food stalls for affordable and authentic meals. These food spots offer delicious Filipino dishes at lower prices than most restaurants, helping you save money while enjoying local flavors.
Book shared tours or activities
Consider booking shared tours or activities instead of private ones. Shared tours, such as shared island hopping tours, are often much cheaper and can provide a budget-friendly way to explore popular destinations and attractions. By joining group tours, you can enjoy the same experiences at a fraction of the cost, allowing you to stretch your travel budget further and make the most of your time in the Philippines.
Avoid traveling during peak season
Traveling during the peak season and holiday season, from March to June and from November to December, can lead to higher rates for accommodations, transportation, and activities. Consider visiting during the off-peak seasons, from January to February or from July to October, to take advantage of lower prices and fewer crowds.
Essential Travel Tips about Money in the Philippines
Traveling in the Philippines requires smart money management to make sure you’ll have a smooth trip. From choosing between credit cards and cash to knowing where to find ATMs and understanding local tipping customs, these essential tips will help you handle your money wisely during your stay.
Credit Card vs Cash
When visiting the Philippines, it's best to have both cash and a credit card on hand. While credit cards are accepted in big cities and luxury hotels, it's still best to carry cash, especially in remote areas where card acceptance may be limited. Cash is universally accepted and handy for small transactions at local establishments. However, having a credit card for emergencies or larger purchases is a good idea.
ATMs in the Philippines
When traveling in the Philippines, you'll find ATMs in cities and popular tourist spots, but they might be scarce in remote areas. These machines are convenient for withdrawing cash, and many are part of international networks like Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus, and Plus. This means visitors with international credit or debit cards can easily withdraw Philippine Pesos.
Before your trip, it's a good idea to check with your bank to ensure your card will work in the Philippines and to learn about any fees or restrictions that may apply. This way, you can avoid any surprises and have easy access to money throughout your trip.
Tipping in the Philippines
Tipping isn't mandatory but is appreciated by service staff and tour guides. Some restaurants may already include a service charge, so check before tipping separately. Typically, tipping is around 10-15% of the total bill, depending on service quality.
What Are the Different Ways To Pay in the Philippines?
In addition to cash and credit cards, there are various digital payment options available in the Philippines, including debit cards, GCash, Maya, and GrabPay. These digital payment platforms offer convenience and security, especially for online transactions and transportation services like taxis and ride-sharing.
Spend Your Money Wisely in the Philippines
As you get ready for your Philippines trip, make sure you're familiar with Philippine currency basics to handle money smoothly while traveling. Also, remember to consider the best time to travel and what to bring to the Philippines to make the most of your adventure. Don't forget to check out all-inclusive Philippines vacation packages for hassle-free travel arrangements.

Highlights of Kruger National Park
Safari operators have many ways in which they sell a tour to Kruger Park. We only focus on authenticity and originality, the rest is mere confetti. We call this “the lion walks” because this safari is all about walking or driving along the game paths that this magnificent beast walks at night. Start out for 3 nights in the national park at a private lodge specialising in walking, overnight trail or guided drive safaris ending off in a private concession where privacy and game viewing come together effortlessly. This really is the best, we’ll stand by it any day!
Days 1-3: A Serious Adventure
At a local airport, meet your experienced driver who will transfer you privately to your game lodge for the start of your safari.
Depending on the makeup of your family/friends, we design this part around you. From a beautifully appointed game lodge with game drives and kids activities to trails camps specialising in walking safaris, we can deliver it all including sleep-outs on specially designed platforms. The only thing you need to bring is your safari gear and a varying degree of bravery… Are you ready?
The concession is found within the boundaries of Kruger National Park and offers some of the best game-viewing opportunities in Africa including all of the members of the Big 5.
Days 4-6: Greater Kruger Awaits
We move you to one of the best game reserves in Greater Kruger. These reserves are legendary and offer the best chance of seeing the many beautiful animals that inhabit this 4.9 million-acre wilderness. The lodges are built around what you want to experience and range from luxury lodges to small, eco-glamping camps.
In conjunction with this, you can also enjoy extras like a Panorama Route tour or some adventure activities included in the transfer. That way, you miss nothing, besides maybe your mind from all the beauty!
Day 7: We Say Cheers
After a last morning safari we will leave the reserve and head back to the airport in time for departures.
This safari can also be extended or act as an add-on to any of our other awesome safaris below.
PLAN YOUR JOURNEY
This unforgettable journey is a favourite safari with guests from all over this beautiful globe of ours and showcases just a few of our favourite experiences. It can be changed or bits used to create your own bespoke safari, either for your partner, family, group of friends or as a gift.

Recent statistics by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) put luxury goods and services spending by the world’s super rich at US$1.8 trillion in 2013, with US$1 tr spent on services and US$460 bn allocated to one-of-a-kind travel adventures.
With this niche segment gaining an edge, premium travel and hospitality will be in the focus at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2014. The new focus ‘Spotlight on Luxury’ will bring together luxury brand exhibitors, targeted luxury buyers and visitors for both inbound and outbound travellers.
The region is known for its penchant for a luxury lifestyle. According to a 2012 Credit Suisse report, the number of millionaires in the UAE is set to grow by 12% by 2017, reaching 48,000 individuals. GCC nationals also spend 260% more on airfares against other nationalities, with between 40-60% booking business class travel, and also spending 430% more on accommodation and 558% more on dining.
“If you look at the region there can be few places that have such a concentration of luxury five-star hotels, from super yachts and multimillion-dollar homes to dining opportunities. The luxury theme clearly resonates well and so we have a dedicated platform for discussion and brand showcasing this year,” said Mark Walsh, portfolio director, Reed Travel Exhibitions.
Luxury retail in the UAE is valued at around US$6 bn per annum, according to a Q4 2013 report from The Chalhoub Group. Further, 82% of the leading luxury brands have a presence in Dubai.
“We will also be holding several luxury-themed seminars, which will examine key opportunities in global luxury travel arena,” said Walsh.

Coningdale Homestead is a 4300 acre working sheep, and cattle property it is located in Scots Corner. Just 35 kilometres from the country centre of Armidale – 6 hrs 4 mins from Sydney CBD. It is on the banks of the Wollomombi River.
The guesthouse offers accommodation in two Queen bedrooms, each only accommodate 2 – so the property is not suitable for children.
It has a great sense of Old Australian history – as it was founded in 1915.
A basket breakfast is complimentary for you, but you can choose instead to pay extra and have a full breakfast in the historic family dining room. Perhaps even plan to organise a special dinner in this grand room.
Enjoy 4 wheel drive farm tours – these are ‘hold onto ya hat style’ – exciting, and will be long remembered. The National Park with bushwalks up to a gorgeous, tall waterfall is right next to the property.
Farm activities and many meals choices in the dining room are at extra charges. Alarm Clocks and linen and blankets are provided here.
Please Note : DO NOT leave a message in the comment section for this farm, as this is not a Booking or Enquiry Website it is an Information Site so please if you are interested in this farm telephone them!
Just as a Rough Price guide : $150 per person per night for farm stay
$1200 for a 2 night Standard Weekend for 4 adult persons / all food and activities.
$2400 for a 4 night Standard Midweek for 4 adult persons / all food and activities.
Please note that school holidays and holiday/special event weekends are not considered standard times in most accommodations.

Some say that a vacation with a baby isn’t real freedom, but a change of atmosphere - even if you need to be on-task and care for your baby - can still be relaxing.
What should you take into account before you book a family vacation? Here, we highlight several categories to really pay attention to.
Check that you can freely move a stroller around the hotel or resort grounds. Have you ever longed for a secluded Galilean rental cabin with a panoramic view? Make sure that the path to the cabin is smooth and you can easily push a stroller along, and ask if you can park the stroller inside the cabin if you want to. Also, rural hotels or those with units scattered over a large area can be fun for older children as they are transported in a small open-air car. With small babies, this can be difficult, so take this into account.
Babies under the age of one don’t need specific activities. What’s appropriate from birth? Here's what you can do: Beach, pool, (of course, first check with a doctor that it’s ok to take the baby into a pool and hold onto the baby the entire time), easy hiking trails that are suitable for babies in a carrier, etc. As your child grows, you can start going to places like big playgrounds and petting zoos.
Besides for breastfeeding or formula, if the baby has already started on solids, prep before vacation. Check cafe menus online to be sure they have foods kids like, make sure the guest house will have something to give your baby to eat or taste and bring with you jars of baby food, smoothies or things you made yourself at home.
Does the property provide a crib or playpen for the baby? Is there also a mattress? Ask these questions, but for babies and toddlers, the safest option is a foldable pack and play. Be sure to keep pillows and large blankets away from babies and young kids.
If long trips are hard for your babies, go somewhere up to two hours drive away. For longer drives, stop every hour to stretch. If your vacation includes a flight, take a night flight so that the baby will hopefully sleep through it, bring several small sleeping mats and prepare a comprehensive list of things your baby will need during the trip.
Experience brings wisdom, so ask parents for recommendations of places to go and things to do. Find out where their successful vacations with babies were, which challenges they faced and what you need to pay attention to.
Have a fun family vacation!

This is an excellent new property in Sioux Falls. It is in very close proximity to the mall and a lot of the major medical centers. The rooms are very clean and modern. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Sioux Falls area.
Your coupon (that we’ll email you) gets you 20% off when you spend at least $250 on tours, activities and more that you can book on TripAdvisor or Viator. The more you spend, the more you save!

We have had another wonderful holiday in Villa Marc.
You are a great holiday company. Kind staff, super villas and fabulous car hire.
We are at the airport now - very sad to be leaving.
We are back in July to try another of your villas!
Adios y Muchas gracias,
Thank you for a fantastic holiday that we have just had in Villa Marc - as always we had a great time.
With kind regards
A wonderful holiday at Villa Mark
Very clean and lots of facilities and a big plot and a nice swimming pool
Excellent cleaners on 4 days in the 2 weeks and good groundsman/poolman
Thank you, we wholeheartedly recommend the villa for a holiday.
Would like to say we were pleased with Villa Marc which met all our expectations without any concerns. Taking over the villa was simple with good instructions, and we appreciated the included car hire, with a simple collection and return procedure. The villa staff who changed the linen and maintained the pool were pleasant and helpful.
We would certainly consider using Best Pollenca Villas again.
I can honestly say that we had a fantastic time at Villa Marc and everything worked out brilliantly! We commented many times on just how perfect the Villa was for our family. Everything from the Car hire pick up at the airport to the Villa was a success thanks to your very detailed and easy to understand instructions. We will certainly be coming back to stay with you again. Many thanks once again. Kindest regards.
Steve & Family
An excellent experience all round....Lovely, well equipped villa, comprehensive information and updates from the very helpful Pollenca office staff before and during our stay, great service from Vives Car Rental, and excellent service also from the cleaning and gardening staff at the villa. We could not fault The Best Villas Pollenca, and would highly recommend the company to our friends and any prospective customers. Many thanks for contributing to a memorable holiday.
Kind regards from Stephen and Bev
We have just returned home from a fabulous holiday at Villa Marc and would like to thank you and the team at the Best Villas Pollensa.
To everyone at TheBestVillasPollensa
We have just returned from a lovely week at Villa Marc.
Thank you to everyone.
The villa was fabulous (we have stayed before but it was even better this time).
The car hire arrangement with Vives was brilliant. So convenient!
The cleaning ladies were lovely.
We are coming back in October to stay in Villa Lleida and we can't wait!
Thank you for everything.
We always find your admin' first class.
Villa in good order, only issue is we appear to be bitten in lounge area which was our only complaint last year. Towels, equipment plentiful and excellent condition.
Car hire is very good and easy to use
It all contributes to a enjoyable holiday
As usual you meet all our needs, hence our decision to rent the same Villa next year.
Thank you for a good holiday.
Your service very Good.
Car hire arrangement was excellent.
Villa was excellent.
We have used two other villa hire companies previously in Pollensa - we would rate Best Villas Pollensa as the best company we have used to date - well done!
Your staff very helpful and the booking system was very easy.
Beautiful villa, very well equipped. The bedrooms are spacious and the dining aread lovely. The kitchen is well-equipped.
Your service EXCELLENT - When we had a problem e.g. the lock didnt work on the front door and the gas ran out, it was sorted very quickly.
Car hire VERY GOOD.
Your staff have always been very helpful, thank you.
Villa very good (we have stayed there before, so knew what to expect) and clean.
Car hire much easier than renting from the airport, no one there when we arrived and neither barrier would open for 2nd floor car park at airport, but still a lot less hassle than other hire companies.
We enjoyed everything except the rain!
Services were excellent as usual.

The booking is always easy with you.
Villa Marc was absolutely beautiful. Furnishings, linens, crockery, glassware, gadgets were all good quality. Having pool towels is very helpful thank you.
The car hire is one of the best things about using Best Villas. Collection and return is so quick and easy. Much better than queueing for ages at a desk. The car itself was very nice. My sister uses your company too and she thinks the car hire is brilliant too. It makes the start of the holiday so much better. A definite 5 stars for the car hire!!!!
I have been coming to Pollensa for many years now and have stayed in so many villas with so many different companies, but we have realised that The Best Villas Pollensa is better. We loved the location of Villa Marc and the outdoor space was beautiful. We love visiting Pollensa old town. We also love going to eat at Stay in Puerto Pollensa and we love having lunch outside the Hostal Bahia on the Pine Walk. Everything is so relaxing. We walked up to the Puig Maria on Easter Monday. It was wonderful. But most of all we loved coming back to the villa. It was beautiful. The orange trees were gorgeous and the beautiful smell of the jasmine in the garden. It is our favourite villa so far!
I would rate your services as excellent.
You do everything very well. I can not think of a way to improve things.
This is a beautiful villa and we are having a lovely week. We will certainly be booking with you again.
I hope you all had a lovely Easter.
We had an excellent holiday at Villa Marc.
The villa was very clean and tidy and the pool maintenance were excellent.
Thank you so much.
