The experience

The tour starts in Palma's Old Town, where narrow cobblestone streets wind past centuries-old buildings. You'll walk through Plaça de Cort, the historic center anchored by an olive tree that has stood as a symbol of peace in Mallorcan culture. The route takes you to the Convent de Santa Clara, a quiet refuge from the busier streets, then to the Baños Árabes: Arab Baths dating back to the 10th century, where Moorish architecture survives in the stone and vaults. This is the kind of detail most visitors miss without a guide pointing it out.

From there you move through the city's religious landmarks: La Bodeguita del Medio de La Lonja, a historic building designed by artist Guillem Sagrera; the Santa Eulalia church with its Gothic façade; and the Basilica de Sant Francesc, a Gothic masterpiece that has anchored the skyline for centuries. The guide explains what you're looking at and why it matters to Palma's story. You'll also stop at Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo, a historic café where locals have eaten traditional Mallorcan pastries for generations: a chance to taste something if you want to, though food is on your own. The walk ends at Parc de la Mar, a park between the sea and the city where you can see the Cathedral of Santa Maria, and Plaça de la Seu, where you can sit with a drink and let the day settle.

You pick between a small group tour or a private one at checkout. Both follow the same 2-hour route with a guide who speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French. A minimum of 2 people is required for the group option. The tour is a walking tour of the exteriors and the streets. You're not going inside the monuments themselves, so you see the architecture and hear the history from outside. The guide helps arrange entry tickets to any sites you want to visit separately, but those visits and their costs are your choice. Wheelchair access is available throughout the route, and the tour suits all fitness levels.

What are the Arab Baths and why are they on this tour?

The Baños Árabes are 10th-century baths built during Mallorca's Moorish period, and they're still standing in the middle of Palma's Old Town. The tour includes them because they're a rare surviving example of that architecture and a hidden detail most visitors walk past without noticing.

Do I go inside the churches and the royal palace on this tour?

No, this is a walking tour of the exteriors and the streets. You see the Basilica de Sant Francesc, Santa Eulalia, and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina from outside and learn their history from the guide. If you want to go inside any of them, the guide helps you book entry tickets separately.

Can I do this tour alone or do I need to be in a group?

You can choose a private tour for just yourself or a small group tour with other travelers. The small group option requires a minimum of 2 people. The private option is just for you and anyone you bring.

How long is the walk and what's the pace like?

The tour is 2 hours of walking through Palma's Old Town and along the waterfront. It's suitable for all fitness levels, and the route is wheelchair accessible throughout.

What's included and what do I pay for separately?

The tour includes the guided walk, help booking entry tickets to monuments, and the guide's time. Entry to churches, museums and the palace is separate and at your own cost. Food and drinks at Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo are also your choice. Public transport during the tour is at your own expense.
