The Experience

You meet at the starting point, get your bike and helmet, and hear a safety briefing before the ride begins. The guide leads you through Palma's charming streets and historic quarters, stopping first at Es Baluard Museum for views across the city and bay while the guide explains Palma's history. From there you cycle to Sa Llotja, a 15th-century Gothic maritime exchange with slender columns and vaulted ceilings that still hosts exhibitions, then past the Cathedral of Santa Maria—La Seu—whose rose window and soaring nave dominate the waterfront. The route takes you to the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, originally an Islamic fortress and now a symbol of the island's royal heritage, and continues through quieter corners: the Convent de Santa Clara with its peaceful cloisters, the Basilica of Sant Francesc (which holds the tomb of philosopher Ramon Llull), and the Church of Santa Eulalia with its Baroque facade and bell tower.

The tour includes several stops at beautiful viewpoints where you can take photos and absorb the Mediterranean atmosphere. Parc de la Mar, beneath the cathedral and overlooking the sea, offers a moment to rest among reflecting pools and shaded pathways. After the bike ride ends, you head to a local spot for tapas tasting, combining the culture and sightseeing you've just seen with Mallorcan gastronomy. Beverages are included with the meal.

The whole experience runs three hours and is designed for small groups, so the pace stays relaxed and personalized. The tour suits anyone who can ride a bicycle, regardless of fitness level. If you're traveling with infants or small children, specialized seats and prams are available. The meeting point is near public transportation, and you'll need to arrive 15 minutes before the 10:30 am departure.
