Highly recommend - Excellent guide who understood the cathderal and town. Small group size made it memorable and easier to meet people. I would highly recommend the tour for anyone wanting a more personal tour rather than the larger groups

Inspiring and an experience that is definitely worth the money - We were a group from 3 different countries and aged approx. 20-60 years, but the guide Carlos spoke inspiringly about the island and the city, so everyone in the group participated actively. A fantastic experience and we left the trip with the feeling that we really got our money's worth - happy and full of information and experiences.
Can absolutely be recommended for anyone over 15 years old and who can walk 3-4 km over 2 ½ -3 hours

Autumn getaway to Mallorca - We took the Free Tour with Marina around Palma Mallorca and got to know the city as a person born there feels. He took us to places that are not usually visited and showed us how the inhabitants see each of their wonders. We felt like locals for a few hours.
