Detailed 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.
2
Meet your private guide in central Palma de Mallorca, and enjoy a leisurely stroll to the ‘monumental area’ where many of the city’s sights can be seen. As you walk, ask your guide as many questions about the city and the island of Mallorca as you wish; the beauty of a private guide is that the commentary is tailored to your interests.

Pass by
Pass Almudaina Palace, originally built as an Arabian fortress, and then head through the twisting streets of Palma de Mallorca Old Town to admire the old city walls. Stop to soak up the views over the Bay of Palma and gaze at the city backdrop to see Bellver Castle and other significant monuments.

Stop 4
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.
