The Experience

The tour starts at the bike shop in central Palma, where you collect your bike and helmet. From there, the guide leads a leisurely pace through the old town, stopping to view Palma Cathedral from multiple angles and learning its construction history without entering the building itself. You'll pass the Basilica de Sant Francesc with its Gothic and Baroque architecture, pause at a working convent in the middle of the old town to hear about its daily life, and cycle past the city hall with one of Mallorca's oldest olive trees nearby.

The route takes you along Passeig des Born, a tree-lined avenue now filled with historical buildings, luxury shops and small cafés, and includes a stop at a beautiful Gothic civil building with fine architectural details. The guide speaks English throughout and sets a pace suited to casual cyclists rather than athletes. If you've arranged the tapas upgrade in advance, the tour ends at a local bar where you sit down for three tapas plates served pincho-style, paired with your choice of water, beer or coffee.

The bike shop itself stocks water and cycling maps if you want to explore further after the tour ends, and they repair bikes in the workshop there. Public transport is available nearby if you need it. Minimum age is 12, and the tour requires a minimum of 5 participants to confirm.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see Palma's main landmarks without navigating the city on your own, and the tapas upgrade works well if you'd rather end with food and a drink than cycle back to your hotel. The leisurely pace and small-group format (minimum 5 participants) suit casual cyclists who want to learn the city's history without rushing.
