Palma de Mallorca: Private Segway Tour with Cathedral & Waterfront

Summary

Roll through palma’s old streets cathedrals art and sea air

You’ll glide through Palma’s lively streets by Segway with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Expect hands-on training, spontaneous stops at sites like La Seu Cathedral and Es Baluard Museum, plus time by the waterfront and golden beach paths. It’s easygoing but full of surprises — you might even end up laughing at your own pronunciation attempts.

What’s the experience like?

I almost bailed when I saw the Segways lined up outside the shop — they looked way trickier than I’d pictured. But our guide, Marta, just grinned and handed me a helmet. “Don’t overthink it,” she said. After five wobbly minutes circling Plaça Cort (dodging a kid chasing pigeons), I got the hang of it. The olive tree in the square is older than most countries, apparently. You can touch its twisted bark — kind of grounding before you zip off into Palma’s narrow lanes.

The first time we rolled up to the Cathedral of Mallorca, sunlight bounced off those huge rose windows. Marta told us locals call it “La Seu” — her voice echoed a little as we paused in the shade. There was this faint smell of incense drifting out from somewhere inside, mixing with sea breeze from Parc de la Mar below. We stopped whenever something caught our eye; at Es Baluard Museum, I tried to pronounce it in Catalan and just gave up halfway (Marta laughed). The Segways hummed quietly under us while she pointed out graffiti that’s actually sanctioned art here — not what I expected.

We zipped along Passeig des Born where everyone seemed to be out for coffee or just people-watching. It’s funny how quickly you go from medieval stone to palm trees and then suddenly there’s golden sand at Ca’n Pere Antoni beach. The ride along the waterfront is smooth but you still feel salt on your lips if there’s wind coming off the bay. At one point my friend almost veered into a group selfie — no harm done, just some Spanish teens giggling at us.

By the time we circled back past La Lonja and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, I realized I hadn’t thought about my phone or even taken many photos. Just moving through Palma like that — sun on your arms, Marta tossing out stories about kings and artists — felt more real than any museum ticket ever could. I still think about that olive tree sometimes, weirdly enough.
