Answer 1

I must admit its been several years since I've been to Majorca. I've been to Porto de Soller several times but I've aways driven there or driven to Soller town station then travelled down to the Port on the tram.

An alternative which I have never got around to doing is go to Palma railway station and ride the Orange Grove Express to Soller then you catch the tram down to the Port.

The cost I don't know its been a long time since I've travelled with tour company's or been in that part of Spain.

Answer 2

I assume you mean the combine package trip by bus/train/tram/boat and back to the start by bus?

My friends and I did this last year starting from Alcudia.

There are 2 types of trip to Soller....a "full price trip"-about €44 per person or a "blanket trip"-about €8 per person.

The difference is that a blanket trip involves being taken to a presentation of bedding supplies etc.for about 3 hours before starting the tour,meaning you get less time to look round Soller.

If you diy the trip it works out to be around €50 per person.

Book the trip via a tour shop,as the rep will try to get you to book the "blanket trip" because they get commision on any sales in the shop.  

Whichever way you do the trip to Soller..you'll enjoy it, the scenery is spectacular!
