Itinerary

  1. 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.

    5 min

  2. This trip will take us first to Valldemossa, where you can stroll through the peaceful cobbled streets or relax and enjoy a coffee while you devour one of the local delicacies such as the 'coca de patatas' (small potato-based sponge cake) as at this time of the day we usually have the charming town to ourselves. You can join our guide for a relaxed walk around the streets or visit at your own pace the Carthusian Monastery and the famous composer Chopin's House (entrances are not included in the price).

    1 h

  3. You will have the opportunitty to see the Royal Carthusian monastery, once a royal palace and the home of the Carthusian monk fraternity. (Entry excluded in the price) The Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa, in Mallorcan "la Cartoixa de Valldemossa", has been used for different purposes over time. Initially it was the residence of King Sancho I of Mallorca and later became the former royal residence and finally the Royal Charterhouse.

  4. This is the birthplace of Catalina Thomàs, the most venerated saint on the island known as "La Beateta", who was born in Valldemossa in the 16th century. In her home, which has now been converted into a chapel, there is a tile at the entrance that represents a scene from the life of Mallorca's first saint.

  5. We will now have arrived in central Palma de Mallorca with our guide, and it´s time to enjoy a leisurely stroll to the ‘monumental area’ where many of the city’s sights can be seen. We will start with a panoramic tour along Palma Marina, taking in the glorius views of Palmas busy harbour.

  6. Stop for photos outside Palma Cathedral (La Seu), and hear how the Roman Catholic place of worship was built on the site of an old Arabian mosque. Then, head inside to admire its circular, stained-glass windows and Gaudi-designed features. The colorful, and often controversial, Modernist artist left his mark on the site, and his eye-catching altarpiece is thought to be the cathedral’s highlight.

    Passes by

  7. You will pass by and be able to admire the beauty of The Royal Palace of La Almudaina, which dates back to the 14th century. It is the official residence of Their Majesties the King and Queen during their stays in Mallorca. Together with Palma Cathedral, they constitute a landmark of the capital of the Balearic Islands. A palace that reflects the artistic styles that have followed one another throughout the island's history.

    Passes by

  8. While you are strolling through the beautiful old town of Palma you will come across the Ayuntamiento de Palma, located in Palma's Plaza de Cort. It was built between 1649 and 1680 by the architects Pere Bauçá, Miquel Oliver and Bartomeu Calafat. Some of the most outstanding elements on its façade are the balcony with seven large windows, the Rellotge d'en Figuera (Figuera Clock) and the Banc del si no fos (Bank of if you don't miss it). The building itself was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasure by decree of 3 June 1931.

    Passes by

  9. While you´re taking in the breathtaking views of Palma Old Town and the historic architecture, keep an eye out for The Cort olive tree! This unique tree, known as the Olivera de Cort, was planted in 1999 from Tramuntana mountain range, as a symbol of peace and rootedness to the land. The Cort Olive Tree is located in the middle of the square, right in front of the town hall. Despite the move and its age, it continues to bear fruit every year.

  • 5Oh My Mallorca!

    Peter was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. My mother was a little impaired in how much she could walk and Peter took that into account and pointed out places she could sit and enjoy a coffee or lite bite while we walked all over.

    Very nice car. A driver and a separate guide was probably not necessary. Beautiful island. We took the train back to Palma, it was a very nice ride. If it wasn't so expensive was probably 4 stars.

  • 5Best guide ever!!

    We had a fantastic time with Marga. We travelled with a wheelchair and she made the accommodation seamless. We were able to see so much and she knows so much history. She is fun, knowledgeable and speaks so many languages. We felt like we were with a friend. She went above and beyond to make our trip memorable.
