The Experience

The tour begins at Caixa Forum and moves through Palma's charming streets with a guide who knows the city's untold stories. You'll walk past landmarks and through hidden alleys, stopping to taste ensaïmada—the local pastry—at a century-old café where locals still go. The Cathedral visit includes skip-the-line entry, so you step inside without waiting at the door. By the end, you've covered the seafront and reached the Baluard Cultural Center, and the whole thing holds inside three hours.

The group stays small—no more than 15 people—which means the pace stays manageable and the guide can answer questions without rushing. Your guide is a local expert fluent in your choice of English, Spanish, French, or German, and they offer personalized recommendations for where to eat and what else to see once the tour ends. If you're staying in central Palma, hotel pickup is available on request for an additional charge, but only with the private tour option; otherwise, you meet the group at Caixa Forum.

The tour works for all fitness levels and infants can ride in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are nearby if you prefer to make your own way to the start point.
