About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chumleychumley0 contributionsHighly recommended - Great experienceNatalia was an excellent host and guide. She took us on a lovely walking route through Palma, sharing her knowledge and history of the places we were seeing. We visited some great places, that we would never have found ourselves and got to try numerous fantastic local dishes. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palma. Thanks Natalia!Written 1 October 2024
- Martin J0 contributionsNice, service mindedThe guide, Pedro was a weary knowledgeable guide that had a lot of exiting information about Palma. We had a great time exploring the city with its cousine and history. Hope to be guided by Pedro next time I Palma.Written 26 September 2024
- Y8181KMlisas0 contributionsFantastic experienceWe booked a 1.5 hour city tour with Cesar and we enjoyed every minute of it and I know he gave us some extra time too. We certainly discovered many things that we simply would not have noticed on our own. This tour gave us a really good feel for Palma and its "hidden" gems and I highly recommend Cesar as your guide.Written 25 September 2024
- chwdurango0 contributionsThank you, César, for an unforgettable day!I am so glad I chose this private tour. Our driver/guide, César was the best! He is friendly, very knowledgeable, attentive to his clients’ needs, and hilarious (my granddaughter and César spent lunch time exchanging jokes in English and Spanish). My grandson (9), granddaughter (14), and I had a fabulous day with César! He stopped us at a large supermarket to find non-alcoholic champagne for my grabdson. When he showed us the tennis court where Rafael Nadal started playing tennis and I told him my family loves tennis, he showed us his house and yacht in Porto Cristo, and took us on the way home via Nadal’s sport center in Manacor (even though it was kind of late, he gave us time to look and shop). He stopped us at the beach for 30 minutes so my grandkids could swim. And, to make grandma and granddaughter happy he stopped us at the Pearl factory. We never had a dull moment. He is so interesting and much fun to talk to! Thank you, César, for an unforgettable day!Written 24 September 2024
- Hengirl19700 contributionsExactly day out and would recommend itWe booked a tour around Palma with Pedro. He was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge was outstanding and explained everything so clearly. His English was brilliant and we understood everything as Pedro took his time to explain everything about the different buildings and the history behind them. The cathedral was absolutely breathtaking inside and out. The whole tour was amazing and we never felt rushed - we can’t thank Pedro enough and would most certainly recommend Pedro. His knowledgeable was second to none ❤️ Thank you again Pedro we had an amazing time with you and was an absolute pleasure to meet you .Written 6 September 2024
- meganmhenry330 contributionsTake the tour. Eat the food!Rony was spectacular. He was very personable and full of tons of local knowledge. All of the food we ate was delicious. If you are wondering if this tour is right for you, just do it. We also had our toddler and he was great with him, even when he woke up grumpy. :)Written 1 September 2024

- U1060TKluisad0 contributionsGreat day trip to ValldeIt was such an amazing tour! Cesar was super knowledgeable and a great host. He gave us great recommendations and we definitely recommend others book this tour.Written 29 July 2024
- STtravel20200 contributionsHighly recommendThis is a great tour of the Island, the caves and Porto Cristo (or whatever else you would like to see on the way there and back). Cesar is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and friendly; he made every effort to make this tour interesting for my teenage kids. You can personalize the tour with him based on your interest. We stopped at the Nadal sports center, drove by the soccer/football stadium, stopped for a great lunch and a beautiful beach visit. He goes out of his way to explain every detail of the city based on your interest. Unlike other tour operators he came into the caves with us and explained the details of what we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour with Cesar.Written 27 July 2024
- CBAT690 contributionsWhat a great tour!myself and my two girlfriends did this trip. Alvaro was warm, welcoming and very informed. I have been coming to Mallorca for the best part of 40 years (I was only 12 the first time) but we would never have found the places he took us to under our own steam! Well worth the money! Thank you Alvaro for being such a great guide!Written 21 July 2024
- Curiosity265476427220 contributionsTerrific!Nat was TERRIFIC! After spending a few hours with her we felt as though we’d made a new friend. She is knowledgeable, interesting and fun. This was far more than a tasting tour. She knew and shared with us, all about the history, the culture, the architecture and the people of the island. She gave us tips for shopping, dining, drinking, and touring other parts of the island. We had a great time! You won’t find a better guide to introduce you to Palma and MallorcaWritten 18 July 2024
- ZGhostFace0 contributionsExcellent food tourA really lovely 3 hours out and about, good introduction to Palma as we popped past historical buildings, public art installations and beautiful courtyards. Adriana was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Accommodated food allergies for one within our group without making them feel they were missing out. Food from historic bakeries along with a market hall, other locations and some local wine and vermouth.Written 15 July 2024
- joannac4470 contributionsExcellent tourAdriana was brilliant, we had a lovely few hours going to eateries we probably would not have found in our own! Would definitely recommendWritten 14 July 2024

We booked this tour as part of a day out in Palma we wanted to get a feel for the city in a couple of hours. We met with our guide in the designated spot and started walking - we saw presumably the most significant parts of the town the bath and the gardens …. We saw the cathedral but from outside, the deduction in marks is referring to the guide who was a very nice and pleasant person but lacked knowledge in depth when it came to the things she showed ….To be honest it all added up to be little underwhelming.

Dear all,
We booked this trip as we were excited to take a day tour of Palma the city. As you can imagine, it is easy to walk around the city and learn about it by just googling things or knowing someone but we booked this trip simply because we saw the tickets to Arab baths were included and the so called 1 local drink/tasting. We were really disappointed with the tour as it was not so much what we excepted. The main reason I paid for this is so we could see the Arab baths but the guide ended the tour without mentioning anything. When I asked why we didn’t see it he said he thinks it’s closed. This is unacceptable as something that is not available to see on the tour shoudnt be advertised. If it is, we shoudnt be charged full price for it. Anyway, we weren’t in the best mood at Palma as our expectations of this experience weren’t fully met.

Enjoyable tour of Palma with a friendly, knowledgeable guide. The tour was booked in advance from the UK and we received good communication and many reminders. Natalia messaged us by WhatsApp in advance with details of where to meet, and also on the day. We hadn't realised it was private tour, which was a real bonus. We saw lovely buildings, learned a lot, tasted local food, took lots of photos, and did a lot of walking. We wouldn't have found these hidden treasures on our own, so this really was 2.5 hours very well spent. Highly recommend both the tour and Natalia!

Alvaro was amazing. He truly loves the city and we left wanting to come back to Palma. We saw so much in 2.5 hours it was surprising. Great history lesson. This was a superb way to learn about the area. If you enjoy walking the city and seeing historic sites you should absolutely book time with Alvaro. He made it a fantastic day. A great value for my family of 4.

Cesar met us right on time and we started on a delightful walking tour of the highlights of old Palma. Cesar was very accommodating of our individual needs as we made our way. He shared his vast knowledge of the history, including transportation routes, buildings (and the families who own and live there), culture, and numerous other historical tidbits. He was very personable and engaging in his interaction with us. As we wrapped up our event, we asked him to recommend restaurants and other sites for our following days on Mallorca. He responded later that day with a detailed itinerary for the rest of our stay, complete with dining recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cesar and give him our highest recommendation.

Wow! I must say I wasn’t expecting much from Palma de Mallorca, but our guide César made this one our favorite excursions. César is passionate and very knowledgeable about this beautiful and quaint city and has a gift for sharing its most interesting stories and sites. There was so much history and so much to see! My two sisters and I all have different interests and César honed in on what was important to each of us and made sure to customize his tour to our individual interests. I also loved that the tour was not rushed. There was plenty of time to soak in the sites and take pictures. We took lots of guided tours while on this vacation, but this was by far our favorite. Thank you César for making our tour so special!

We booked this tour 10 days before travelling, and had the email confirmation and digital tickets.
On the morning we walked to the meeting point and no guide - Daniela……checked my emails to see if we had the date/time/place wrong but no, then saw an email of 20 minutes earlier cancelling the tour!! Disgraceful and such a waste of our limited time in Palma.
Do not use this company.

Natalia was incredibly insightful, personable, and informative. She took us through some of the favorite local markets, an unmissable pastry shop, and historical Arab/Spanish landmarks. Overall, this tour was worth much more than the price especially with the guide that we had. I urge anyone, that comes to Palma, to take advantage of this short and refreshing tour!

We spent a unique and most interesting afternoon with Cesar in Palma de Mallorca. César knows the entire history of Palma and so many interesting stories and details. At the beginning of our tour he asked us about our interests and we received a tailor-made tour showing us many hidden places of this beautiful city. César is not a typical guide, he is a host! The best (guide) host we ever had! Thank you, César, for sharing so many beautiful things with us! Franziska

Cesar is a great and attentive guide. Despite a last minute reservation, he tried to understand our interest to better tailor the tour and explanations. We also had a fun discussion on our common passion of airplanes :)
I recommend him!
