Andrea Ferraioli, who comes from a long line of local winemakers, bought the brand in 1980.

Organic wine and extra-virgin olive oil tasting at Casa di Baal near Amalfi

Casa di Baal is a farm located just a few kilometers from the Amalfi Coast and the archaeological site of Paestum, producing mainly organic wines and extra virgin olive oil. The Ancient Greeks and Romans chose this land more than 2000 years ago for its privileged location and the Romans called this region “Campania felix” which literally means fertile countryside.
Today the farm is run by the Salerno family that lives on-site and aims to run it as a closed cycle where everything that is consumed is made in the farm, in complete respect of nature.
The farm is located in an exceptional natural context: it is 150 meters above sea level, between the Amalfi Coast and the Cilento Coast. The influence of the sea breeze – the coastline is less than 10km away – and of the mountains in the back give a unique characteristic to the wines produced here.

The visit to the farm is a complete experience: it starts with the tour of the vineyards with an explanation of the company’s philosophy, based on biological farming and biodynamic processes; it then proceeds to the winery where the grapes are transformed into wine, and where the wines are bottled and stored for aging.

Two different tours and tastings have been designed in order to accompany you on your journey to discover the flavors and scents of the territory.

  • Basic Wine Tour (Duration 90 minutes)
  • Full Wine Tour (Duration 120 minutes)

Mallorca guided tour with lunch and transport

The true beauty of Mallorca is actually hidden to most tourists, who spend all their time on the busy beaches that everyone knows. Instead of following the crowds, we’re keeping it super-local on this Mallorca tour that shows you where to find the real beauty that only locals know.

We’ll meet in town, then take a comfortable local bus to reach the beginning of our walk. From there, the trail we’ll follow is a historical path, once used by postmen to go from one village to another. As we walk, we’ll learn about native Mediterranean plants, and stop to admire the panoramic view from a mountaintop. We’ll land in the historical village of Serra Tramuntana.

We’ll then arrive at a hidden beach – well, hidden to the tourists, that is! Locals love to go here, and we’ll join them as we soak up the sun and sea, and dig into a delicious lunch of typical Mallorcan food and drinks, such as empanadas and cocas de trampò. We’ll also dig into some delicious desserts such as ensaimada or gatò with almonds… delicious!

In the summer months, you can work off your lunch with a dip in the sea; in winter, just lie out in the sun and soak up that easy Mediterranean vibe.

In the afternoon, we’ll again board the local bus to take us back into Palma, where you’re free to explore on your own.

Note that this walk is fairly easy and along a marked trail. The walk will take about three hours (including stops), with elevations of 300 metres up and almost 400 metres down.

The true beauty of Mallorca is actually hidden to most tourists, who spend all their time on the busy beaches. This tour shows you where to find the real beauty that only locals know. You’ll trek out to a unique corner of the island, far beyond the massive beaches of the south.

You’ll take a comfortable local bus from the town to reach the beginning of the walk. From there, the trail you’ll follow is a historical path, once used by postmen to go from one village to another. During the walk, you’ll learn about native Mediterranean plants, and stop to admire the panoramic view from a mountaintop. You’ll land in the historical village of Serra Tramuntana and discover Arabic influences in the local architecture and agricultural traditions.

You’ll then arrive at a hidden beach. Locals love to go here, and we’ll join them as we soak up the sun and sea, and dig into a delicious lunch of typical Mallorcan food and drinks, such as empanadas and cocas de trampò.

In the afternoon, you’ll again board the local bus to take back into Palma, where you’re free to explore on your own.

This walk is fairly easy and along a marked trail. The walk will take about three hours (including stops), with elevations of 300 metres up and almost 400 metres down.

Spanish lesson and guided tour with breakfast in Mallorca

This Mallorca tour is an adventure in language, culture, and food (all the things we love about travel, really). Instead of sitting in a stuffy classroom, we’re going to practice our Spanish skills over a hearty breakfast on the island of Mallorca. We’ll gain a better understanding for how the Spanish language influences how locals think and live. Find out the difference between uro and ido, and learn when it’s the right time to let your Batuadell or Cagondell phrases fly.

We’ll meet at the Saint Francisco Church, then walk to a historic bar in the city centre. How old is this bar? Well, locals have loved this place since the 1700s. The bar feels almost magical inside, and is a pleasure year-round — in the summer, locals come to enjoy ice cream or horchata, while winter visitors order up hot chocolate and ensaimada cakes.

In this cosy spot, we’ll enjoy a cultural breakfast and share some key Spanish words that will help you to better understand the local culture and lifestyle. The experience will be very informal and interactive — more like a conversation with friends than a lesson. We’ll share cultural stories and you’ll walk away knowing the good, the bad, and everything in between about Mallorca and Mallorcan culture!

You may fear that you won’t learn much in such a short experience, but don’t worry, we’ll help you to keep practicing at home, too. After our session, we’ll bid adeu (not adios) and you’ll get your own Spanish book that you can bring home with you as a souvenir.

Hams Caves

Ten million years in the making, the Hams Caves were worth the wait. More than just a cool place to escape Majorca’s summer heat, this system boasts three caverns – each offering a different visual experience. Located just outside Porto Cristo in the east of the island, the Hams Caves make for an ideal family outing.

Despite their millennial age, the Coves del Hams, as they are known locally, were only discovered in 1905. Visit the Round Cave, a vast open cavern that’s straight out of Jurassic Park. It has a botanical garden and its microclimate attracts many species of birds.

Then there’s the Classic Cave. Made up of 12 galleries and an underground lake, which is where the Sea of Venice musical show is presented. And there’s the Blue Cave, which all TUI guests visit. State-of-the-art lighting has brought it to life, and there’s an auditorium, where you can watch the Discovering the Past documentary. Insta-perfect spots include ‘Samson’s Pillars’ and the ‘Pit of Hell’.

Hams Caves

Hidden East

You’ll snack your way around east of Majorca on this tour. Visit the market in Manacor or Inca, enjoy a mini-train through the olive groves of Son Mesquidassa and drop into Els Calderers country estate. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.

With stalls selling fruit and vegetables picked from nearby fields as well as artisanal produce, your first stop at the farmers’ market in Manacor or Inca promises to be a fruitful one. Taste some of the goods on offer, then continue to Felanitx to hop aboard a train bound for Son Mesquidassa – an olive growing finca.

You’ll journey through acres of olive groves and wind up at the main house, where a spread of ‘pa amb oli’ will allow you to taste its olive oil after a guided tour. The day ends at Els Calderers, a manor house. Stroll through the gardens, poke around its ethnological museum and see the farm animals.

Hidden East

Son Amar with Transfer

The fun never stops in Son Amar – this all-singing, all-dancing show will wow the socks off you. This dinner show dazzles audiences with its creativity, innovation and special effects. Evenings out just don’t get any better than this pulsating and enduring extravaganza – one of the best in Majorca.

With singers, dancers, acrobats and more, Son Amar is a non-stop carousel of sensory delights that’ll keep you toe-tapping, laughing and dancing in your seat. And with a four-course dinner and a glass of wine included, this star-studded evening is a must-see spectacular suitable for all the family. For that extra special occasion, choose the VIP option – you’ll get the best seats in the house, accompanied by an upgraded menu and wines.

And it’s not just the show – the venue is something else. Set in a converted 16th century manor house that’s been converted into a state-of-the-art theatre, Son Amar evokes of the grandeur of the Majorca of old.

Son Amar with Transfer

Rancho Grande – with transfer

Saddle up for an exciting adventure at Rancho Grande – the island’s biggest working horse ranch. Choose between a morning canter along the beach or a sunset horse ride through rural Majorca. Pick the evening trip and there’s plenty for non-riders too, like a wagon tour of the ranch, live music and a delicious barbecue feast for all.

Take the 2-hour morning trip and you’ll enjoy a laid-back trot through a protected nature reserve to canter along the beaches of Majorca’s northern shores. With the evening option, you can hop on a horse for a sunset trail ride through the untouched fields and woods around the ranch or take a horse-drawn wagon tour complete with free-flowing sangria and live music as you go.

Back at the ranch, it’s time for a tasty barbecue feast followed by the chance to release your inner cowboy or cowgirl with some line dancing. There’s also a bucking bronco competition, pony rides, a bouncy castle and a mini-zoo for the kids. It’s good old fashioned Wild West fun.

Rancho Grande – with transfer

Caribia sailing charter

A cruise in which you play a big part in ensuring everything goes swimmingly. The Caribia sailboat charter offers you a hands-on experience as you cruise the southeast coast of Majorca. You’ll be able to help with the sails and even steer the boat before diving into the inviting waters. The cruise is available in either half or full day format, with snacks or lunch aboard.

Sailing out of the beautiful harbour of Portocolom, you’ll glide past secluded coves and rugged cliffs. Capacity on the boats is limited to 10 guests, enhancing the sense of exclusivity. Your skipper will offer you the chance to unfurl sails, change tack and even take charge of the helm – a really special feeling. Relaxing on board is also an option.

And when the captain drops anchor in a gorgeous cove, you’ll be able to dive off the boat for a swim or snorkel in the crystal clear waters. This is what being on holidays is all about.

Caribia sailing charter

Trekking & Boat

This trip invites you to enjoy Majorca’s great outdoors. In a double dose of adventure, you’ll combine cruising in a traditional wooden boat with a gentle hike through the hills and unspoiled landscapes of the island. And after soaking up some spectacular scenery, you’ll round off with a well-earned swim in a secluded bay.

Escaping the hustle and bustle of the beach resorts, you’ll hop on a traditional wooden llaüt boat and cast off into the Med. Starting a circular route of rural Majorca, you’ll come ashore in Cala Murta and hike through the hills towards Formentor – arguably one of the island’s most stunning seafront spots.

You’ll encounter pine-clad hills, oak forests and mountain panoramas as you hear the history of the area. Once there, you can pause to appreciate the views before embarking back on the llaüts to Cala Murata where you’ll stop for a refreshing swim.

Bioparc Valencia is a unique zoo. Its design employs the ‘zooimmersion’ concept, in which visitors are surrounded by meticulous recreations of the natural habitats being presented. Social animals that live together in groups are displayed, as well as groups of different species that coexist in the same habitats. Predatory species are integrated into the visual space but are separated from other species by barriers invisible to the eye of the visitor, ensuring the safety of both the animals and the people. The animals, vegetation and landscape provide opportunities for discovering the complexity of natural ecosystems.

Visitors may begin their voyage through the African realm of Bioparc Valencia by traveling deep into the Savannah, among herds of antelope, giraffe and rhinoceros; while lions overlook the great plain from their rocky heights. You will be able to see hyenas and warthogs as well as the vast wonders of underground life such as aardvark burrows, naked mole-rat nests and termite mounds. Visitors will then venture into the dense equatorial forest in search of gorillas, surrounded by red forest buffalos and leopards.

Mestalla Stadium guided visit

This is your last chance to experience Mestalla, the home of Valencia Fútbol Club and the oldest stadium in Spain. The stadium opened on 20 May 1923 where a friendly match took place between Valencia and Levante. It could initially hold 17,000 fans, but was quickly expanded to a capacity of 25,000.

In the 1970s, Valencia considered moving to a new stadium on the edge of the city, but instead decided to redevelop Mestalla, which was made necessary by the upcoming 1982 World Cup. Works included the reconstruction of the bottom tier, which until then still consisted of a brick structure and was replaced by a concrete one. The stadium remained the same for the next fifteen years. It underwent its last redevelopment between 1997 and 2001, when both ends and one side got expanded with an extra tier, and new access towers were built in the corners.

This guided tour guides will share passionate insights into Valencia’s illustrious past with access to areas normally reserved for players and officials. See the press room and the players’ dressing room, and walk the tunnel to the roar of a capacity crowd.

A visit for everyone and anyone, from all corners of the world!

Excursions in Turkey, by Musement

Pamukkale and Lake Salda

Pamukkale means ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish – and you’ll see why as soon as you set eyes upon its magical landscape. Heading deep into the Anatolian countryside, you’ll also visit Hierapolis, Lake Salda and Cleopatra’s Pool. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.

Leaving Antalya early in the morning, you’ll arrive at Lake Salda Lake after a few hours’ scenic drive. It’s been compared to the Maldives for its long beaches and multi-toned blue waters. You’ll have free time to wander around and savour the beauty of the location

You’ll then head to Pamukkale for lunch. Afterwards, catch a peek of the bright white terraces before exploring the ruins of Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then let off steam with a dip in Cleopatra’s Ancient Pool, where you swim among ancient ruins, before dinner in a forest restaurant on the way back.

Pamukkale and Lake Salda

Off Road Safari

How about leaving the sands of your resort behind for the day and instead go for a spin on dirt tracks? This off-road adventure will take you deep into the heart of the real Turkey, exploring places you didn’t know existed high up in the beautiful Taurus Mountains.

Travelling in off-road vehicles with your experienced guide, you’ll drive into the hills above the coast, feeling the air get cooler as you go. You’ll journey along jaw-dropping mountain roads and through rural villages where time seems to have stopped still.

Bumping along winding roads on and adrenaline adventure, you’ll discover the heart of this enchanting region – the stunning views, untouched nature and the real beauty of the area. It’s the drive of your life.

Off Road Safari

Monster Off-Road, Jet Boat & Rafting

If there’s ever a trip out that combines all the thrills and spills you’d want, then this is it. You’ll ride through a nature park in a Monster Truck, whizz over Koprulu Canyon in a jet boat and supercharge the afternoon with some white water rafting. Even the transfer from the hotel is ramped up a level.

Calling all adrenaline junkies, this Antalya tour comes with a twist. You’ll travel off-road to the base camp from where the unrelenting action is about to be released. Climb into a Monster Truck and set off on a sightseeing safari – but not quite as you know it. You’ll experience nature, but this time bumping over the land in a thrilling experience.

Before lunch, there’s the small matter of getting over the Koprulu Canyon, so a jet boat comes to your rescue. Glide past amazing rock formations and enter the canyon in this supercharged machine. Your last adventure will be white water rafting, when you’ll get to freshen up in the midst of the gentle rapids.

Alanya Evening Safari with Dinner

For a taste of the high life Turkish style, it’s hard to beat this blockbuster evening excursion. It’s a greatest hits of Alanya’s best bits. A cable car ride to Alanya Castle to catch the sunset, a dinner of regional dishes and a bit of off-roading are all on the menu tonight.

You’ll get straight into the action by hopping onto the Alanya Castle cable car. Once at the top, we’ll amble around, taking in the scenery from this vantage point 250 metres above the Med. After a treat from Mother Nature in the form of sunset, we’ll zip down to Meazza gourmet restaurant by way of Alanya harbour. See chefs at work and savour regional delicacies such as kuymak, a cornmeal and melted cheese dish from the Black Sea coast, and halva made from semolina. Delish.

And there’s more. After dinner, we’ll go off-road, heading to the Alanya View Terrace up above the city for a glass of wine. Drink in the views of the city lights shimmering off the Med – a great way to end an amazing evening.

Pirates of Antalya

Pirate Tim and Calypso the Parrot need your help to find their lost treasure. But first you need to be fully trained in all the skills you need to become a TUI Pirate.

You’ll join our crew in search of the booty, and along the way everyone will get into the pirate spirit with some help from the pirate team on the boat. There’ll be lots of fun activities for everyone to join in on.

For our little pirate crew, there’ll be face painting and lots of pirate-themed games to play and for the older pirate crew, there’ll be some pirate challenges to join in with. And no pirate adventure would be complete without a treasure map and clues to follow. There’ll be swashbuckling fun for the whole family to enjoy.

Pirates of Antalya

Side by night

All Roman ruins and great sea views, the peninsula town of Side is one of the must-sees in this corner of Turkey. What makes it doubly appealing is that its archaeological relics are randomly scattered around the old town.

An evening visit is the ideal way to combine some sightseeing and dinner. By arriving during the early evening you can check out Side’s showpiece – the Temple of Apollo. Perched on the end of the peninsula, it’s said that Antony and Cleopatra held love trysts under its shining white columns. And you’ll see it at the best time of day – sunset. When the sun has dropped below the horizon, you’ll have some free time on your own to look round.

Check out the other ruins or delve into the old town whose grid-like streets are stuffed with stone houses, shops and bazaars. After this, you’ll end your evening at a harbour-side restaurant where you can tuck into an included two-course dinner.

Side by night

Blue Cruise Alanya

A boat trip that offers the best of both worlds – a tranquil start with a party atmosphere later on. This cruise along the Alanya coast is the perfect escape from the bustling resorts and when you’re fully recharged, get ready to dance along to your favourite top hits.

As you sail out of the harbour, sit back, relax and listen to the waves as you glide out to sea. You can chill out on the main deck and soak up the sun with a drink in hand and, when the captain drops anchor, jump in for a refreshing swim. A fresh and tasty lunch is served on board and, with all local drinks included, you can keep the cocktails coming.

In the afternoon there’ll be a couple more swim stops – bring a snorkel and mask to really make the most of the clear waters. Then it’s time to party. Banging tunes and lots of foam make for a full-on boat party atmosphere so you can dance and sing all the way back to dry land.

Schönbrunn Palace guided tour with a historian

We begin our encounter with the astonishing High Baroque Schönbrunn Palace (built to rival Versailles) with a stroll through the magnificent formal gardens, exploring the Baroque landscaping principle of interlaced nature and architecture that is illustrated everywhere in the layout of the grounds. Approaching the Gloriette, a huge triumphal arch situated on a hilltop with
panoramic views of Vienna’s woods, we recall the military victories that made Empress Maria Theresa’s reign (1740-1780) a highpoint of the Hapsburg dynasty’s political and cultural dominance in Europe. The park was opened not only to the court but to the general public from 1779, a populist gesture that reveals Maria Theresa’s canny charm offensive towards her subjects.

For example, Maria Theresa’s music room was the setting of acoustical delights attended by the imperial family in a glittering Rococo ambiance of gilt mirrors and lavish chandeliers. The six year old Mozart performed here for the family. The Hapsburgs’ devotion to the development of classical music did not end at their support of brilliant professional composers; many of the children were trained themselves as advanced musicians and expected to exhibit their skills in private entertainments held in this space. The Empress herself acted in plays in the private theatre.

The unique “Millions Room” owes its name to a fabulous price in gold ducats paid for it: antiquated Indo-Persian miniatures with rococo-frames, wall hangings manufactured of carved rosewood from the Antilles make the “Millions chamber” one of the most accomplished combinations of Oriental and European decorative art from the Rococo era.

Architecture of Red Vienna: 3-Hour Walking Tour with a Historian

Explore a seldom-visited Vienna on this 3-hour walking tour. In 1919 the socialists gained an absolute majority of the city government following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The areas were also meant to contain shops, libraries, theaters, kindergartens, medical clinics, laundromats, and political clubs.

One of these areas is Karl Marx-Hof. One of the largest estates, it was called the Ringstrasse of the Proletariat. A quick metro ride away is the second estate on the tour, the Reumannhof.

Its desire to remain rooted to the land and tradition, yet at the same time to move forward with new objectives, has made Cascina Chicco, with its 45 hectares of vineyards and over 400,000 bottles produced per year, one of the principal landmark wineries of Roero and Langa. The vineyards are comprised of only indigenous grapevines – a decisive choice in the wine industry that gives the brand a unique style. Please see link for more information.
