Your Itinerary

No Frills Excursions

(Pass by)

An excursion is much more than just to take you from your hotel in Mallorca to the venue. Our philosophy is that every excursion in Mallorca should be an experience and we use the best guides and choose the best itineraries to ensure that we create unforgettable experiences.

Parc de la Mar

Meet your private guide in central Palma de Mallorca, near the Parc del Mar, and take a leisurely stroll to the so-called ‘monumental area’ where the bounty of the city’s sights can be seen. As you walk, feel free to ask your guide as many questions about the city and the island as you wish; one of the benefits of a private guide is that the commentary is tailored to your interests.

Palma de Mallorca

Learn about the island’s Jewish heritage and the community that lives in Mallorca today as you explore the old 16th-century Jewish quarter, and then finally discover the Art Nouveau side of the city by taking a look at Palma de Mallorca’s intriguing Modernist architecture and developments.

Catedral de Mallorca

Stop for photos outside Palma Cathedral (La Seu), and hear how the Roman Catholic place of worship was built on the spot where an Arabian mosque one stood. If the site is of particular interest to you, upgrade to include admission and head inside to admire the circular, stained-glass windows and Gaudi-designed features. The colorful, and often controversial, Modernist artist left his mark on the site, and his attention-grabbing altarpiece is considered the cathedral’s highlight.

Admission Not Included

Palau de l'Almudaina

Pass Almudaina Palace, which was originally built as an Arabian fortress, and then head through the streets of Palma de Mallorca Old Town, a charming warren of twisting streets, churches and 16th-century courtyards filled with trees and fountains. Scout out hidden gems such as the Convent of Santa Clara and the Arab Baths, and hear interesting tidbits of their history from your guide.

Pete was fabulous, extremely knowledgeable on history and entertaining personality. Pete took pictures for us and was attentive to explaining the architecture and culture.

Anthony_J

Our original guide called in sick. New guide offered non-private option or cancelation. Chose to go. Our guide was extremely prepared and very interesting. At conclusion we were left with good direction on how to continue on our own. Good experience.

I was excited for this tour having been to palma several times and done my own exploring as well as a segway tour I was hoping for something different. Our guide had some good local info of the old buildings and quarters etc but we paid for the cathedral to be included on the tour but turns out this does not mean a tour of the cathedral. Our tour therefore was only approx 2 hours and then we were left to walk around the cathedral on our own

Jens_H

Very knowledgeable guide, could answer all our questions about the history of Palma and Mallorca, as well as show us the hidden historical gems that other tourists easily miss.

Vivienne_T

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative morning learning a lot about Palma. Peter is an engaging host who was keen to ensure we drew the specifics we wanted from the tour. Highly recommended.

Ilya_S

The guide was not only a native English speaker but very knowledgeable about Mallorca's history and incredibly accommodating regarding customizing the tour to our wants/needs.

I don't recommend this specific tour to anyone. I had canceled this tour, along with having problems of their app on line and still they charged my credit card and refused to refund any charges. There are many other customers that are complaining about this service and hopefully they will do the same. I have gone through my credit card to argue the fact and my monies will be refunded this way, especially when I have an email stating that I canceled my request within the cancelation policy. Very bad business.

Our tour guide Michael was excellent. We loved learning so much about the history and architecture. Highly recommend this tour. Also recommend getting tickets to the cathedral with your tour prior to the tour date.

We have visited Palma many times and thought we knew it well. But we didn’t know its history and so decided this time to get a guide to fill in the missing bits! Albert was a fabulously knowledgeable and fascinating guide. He is a historian and his ability to tell the story of Palma from the first Roman settlement to the present day is extraordinary. His attention to detail brings everything to life and we discovered parts of the City we had never seen before. It was a magical three hours which went far too quickly. If you would like to really understand Palma and its history then Albert is your man!

Michael was an excellent and funny guide. Wonderful way to see the city! Fun and relaxed compared to a large group.
