Great walking tour around the old town, even though it was hot and sticky. Richie was very good and showed us several good places especially at the market. Unfortunately I don’t eat chicken, and the substitute pasta dish was very low standard. Everything else was great.
We appreciate hearing from our guests. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
Super guide. We have been to Mallorca many times and still gained new experiences. Food was great. It is recommended.
Your review was a pleasure to receive. Knowing you came away with such positive memories is exactly what we hope for. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
We have done many many Secret Food tours because we find the guides are local and excellent sources of knowledge and the food is plentiful and authentic. They also cater to dietary requirements. Alicia was fabulous. A true local with so much knowledge and lovely and fun. The only thing I would change is the ‘secret food’ which was a packet of cookies…. Substandard for secret food tours in my experience
We're pleased you chose to spend part of your time with us. Your review reflects the kind of experience we aim to create every day. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Our guide Alicia was great! The variety of the food tasted on the tour was very good too. We loved how Alicia wove in some history about the city along the tour. The size of the group was perfect too.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! Your kind feedback is greatly appreciated and will be shared with our team. We hope to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.

Great tour with Richie! It was super informative and he was friendly and accommodating. All the food was great. A very enjoyable morning. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed this tour with Richie, who has lived in Mallorca for 35 years and knows the island well! The food was delicious and plentiful. Just the right mix of savory, sweet and typical dishes. Highly recommend!
It’s wonderful to know that your experience unfolded just as you hoped. We're delighted that so much of it stayed with you afterward. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future!
We have to say we really enjoyed our tour with Richie. We booked a group tour (2-12 people) but it was only the two of us by coincidence, we didn't mind at all. With Richie being a great guide and answering all the questions we had about food, the culture and telling us about a ton of stuff we didn't even know to ask he definitely surpassed our expectations and guided us through an assortment of various delicious dishes and ingredients. With a length of a little more than 3 hours it was great fun. We were definitely full afterwards so since the tour starts at 10:30 we wouldn't advise on having breakfast before, it's easily enough food. Overall we highly recommend the tour and advise on considering a private tour for smaller groups. It's well worth the money. : )
We're so glad to hear that you had a memorable experience! Knowing that you enjoyed your time with us is what we strive for. We hope to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours soon.
