The company organizes three signature experiences: Maravillas ocultas de la Tramuntana, Molinos, leyendas y pueblos del interior, and Desde Sóller: Molinos y Pueblos escondidos del interior. Each tour combines local knowledge, cultural context, and comfortable transport options, with participants traveling either in their own rental car or in Driveando’s comfortable minivans. Expert local guides provide historical background, interpretive commentary, and logistical coordination using innovative communication systems to keep small groups connected and informed.
Driveando emphasizes authentic local encounters, including visits to markets, traditional villages, and scenic viewpoints. Snacks and regional gastronomy features are included on select itineraries, delivering a taste of Mallorca’s culinary traditions. Guided walks through UNESCO World Heritage sections of the Serra de Tramuntana highlight geology, architecture, and landscape history. The Desde Sóller weekly offering runs on Tuesdays and centers on Soller’s market life and nearby attractions.

One itinerary is a five-hour journey through Mallorca’s rural interior, focusing on cultural, historical, and gastronomic insights. Tours include market visits and local snacks for participants.
