Excellent walking tour with Natalia. History combined with local knowledge made it very engagong
Nicola, our guide was interesting and took us to places that we probably would not have found on our own. He also encouraged us to raise our eyes and see the wonderful Majorcan modernist buildings that are a feature of Palma. He also gave us some good restaurant and bar recommendations. It was a blisteringly hot day so to be honest the tour was probably 20 minutes too long and Nicola carried on despite our hints that we were tiring! All in all a very good tour and way to get full value out of your stay in Palma.
Wonderful tour! Nicola was an excellent guide! He has a wealth of knowledge about the island, architecture, and history. It was a pleasure - highly recommend.
Fantastic tour around Palma with Nicola. We booked a small group tour and were surprised it was just the two of us but it was still a great experience. We got to see some of the quieter places in Palma along with all the top tourist sites. We really enjoyed the visit to the market & churches especially the nuns bakery. Was a great way to start our holiday & highly recommend doing this.
Our guide, Joan, was wonderful! He was truly knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. I highly recommend this experience! He also took some fabulous pictures of us along the way.
Inconsistent starting time to the tour. We would have preferred more historical context than our guide provided.
Great Nico was friendly and very informative.
Palma de Mallorca was a delightful surprise! A blend of art, landscapes, monuments, churches, cultures with an incredible selection of things to see and do that go far beyond beach life. Not to mention excellent cuisine. I highly recommend it even just for a long weekend, because the city center will surprise you!
Jan was an excellent tour guide. He was personable and answered all of our questions. We covered the central part of Palma and Jan filled us in on information as we walked. I would highly recommend Jan for tours of Palma de Mallorca.
Lots of interesting local information and historical context for the sites in Old Town Palma. Our guide, Elie was charming and informative and covered a lot in just two hours. Highly recommend!
