We've done dozens of bike tours and Jean-Pierre was one of the friendliest and most informative guides of them all with particular attention to the history of Barcelona.
This was such a wonderful way to see and learn about Palma. Fernando was absolutely awesome — incredibly knowledgeable, very funny, and full of interesting stories about the city. He made the history of Palma come alive in a way that was both informative and entertaining. The bike tour itself was easy, relaxed, and a perfect way to cover the main sights without feeling rushed. We learned so much about Palma’s history, architecture, culture, and local life, while also enjoying the beautiful streets, landmarks, and atmosphere of the city. Fernando’s personality really made the experience special. He kept everyone engaged, made us laugh, and clearly knew the area very well. It felt like we were exploring Palma with a fun local friend rather than just taking a standard tour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palma de Mallorca. It was educational, fun, scenic, and one of the best ways to experience the city. Thank you, Fernando, for an unforgettable tour!

Thanks for your review! We hope to see you again!
Our guide Caroline was very knowledgeable and gave us an insight of Palma which was very interesting. Overall a great way to see the city. Our only niggle is that the tour is advertised as 3 hours but we were only out for 2, we only realised once we had finished and dropped the bikes off, we presumed it was an error on the advertisement, maybe the advert should be amended to 2 hours or make the tour 3 hours as stated.. Overall a good experience x
Thanks for your review! We hope to see you again!
