We spent the afternoon with Cesar visiting Valdemossa and surrounding areas. Cesar was a wonderful guide, he was very well informed, extremely generous and helpful. We had planned to hire a car and drive ourselves around Mallorca. Instead, we booked this tour and all 3 of us were very pleased that we did. If you want to see Mallorca, learn about the culture, history and lifestyle on the island, we thoroughly recommend booking a tour with Cesar. Highly recommended.Valdemossa Day Trip

If you're looking for someone who not only knows the best places to see but can also give you the history of the area, Cesar is your guy! He has an amazing knowledge of the area, its history (dating back to BC) and all the best places to see. I had a compressed time frame in Palma and wanted to get the most of my days and Cesar made sure I saw as much as possible and I don't think there were any questions I had that he couldn't answer. What a great experience! Highly recommended.Amazing experience, so much knowledge!

Cesar was an absolute pleasure to spend our day with in Palma. We visited Bellver castle and Valldemosa. He was attentive to our needs and made sure they were met. We invited him to join us for lunch (paella) as he was such a pleasant companion. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would use him again if we are back in the area. He is very knowledgeable and is a genuinely nice person to be with. Excellent day!

My sisters and niece have never been to Mallorca — while my husband and I have been here many times. We all learned so much with Alvaro! We went on an amazing 3 hour walk through Palma - stopping to taste Mallorcan delicacies! Alvaro knows where to go and what to order — some things, even as a chef, I have not tried before! Alvaro is knowledgeable and fun to spend an afternoon with in Palma. Definitely worth it and good for lots of age groups. Lots of walking - so littles may need a stroller if part of the group. My niece is 9! She did great! A wonderful afternoon with Alvaro!

I booked this introduction to Palma experience as my sister and I were making our first visit to Palma and were only staying for the weekend - so we couldn't afford to waste time in the wrong parts of town! Cesar was on time and so friendly we were immediately at ease and absorbed in the information he was telling us, and the places he showed us. We would never have got orientated to the place, or learned so much about Palma without Cesar's excellent introduction and top tips for eating, drinking and visiting. We felt that we had met up with a friend and really enjoyed out time with him.A fantastic start to our weekend break

Suzanne did a great job of pointing out key details of paintings ands sculptures in the huge Prado museum that we would have otherwise missed. She shared some interesting details about the artists as well. I should also mention that she got us tickets and we were able to avoid the long lines and enter through a side door. Overall well worth it.Relaxing and inspiring tour of the Prada

Suzanne was nothing short of remarkable. We cannot recommend her enough. We were in town for only a few hours with our toddler and not only was she incredibly accommodating, but also kind and included our little one in all of the activities. Suzanne not only showed us the tourist highlights, but also helped us dig deeper and visit a few places locals frequent. Our time with Suzanne felt more like time with an old friend and we are incredibly grateful for the time we spent together and the stories she shared. Please do yourself a favor and book Suzanne!A great guide for a wonderful city

10 tastings tour of Mallorca with Alvaro was one of the best experiences we had on our trip. Alvaro is obviously passionate about the city, it's history, and architecture. We stopped by 3 different places and tried multiple foods and drink from the area. I really can't say enough good things about this experience. Alvaro described so many details that we would not have known about otherwise. He was obviously friends with many of the locals. At each of the places we stopped to taste test he explained each dish and what it meant to the culture and even in some cases how it was prepared. I highly recommend this tour for any foodie and also recommend Alvaro, a great guide. Thank you Alvaro!One of the best experiences of our trip.

Our group of four girls started our 4-day stay in Palma with the '10 Local Food Tastings" with Álvaro and it was the highlight of our trip and a great way to find our bearings in this lovely, welcoming city. Álvaro was in touch ahead of our meeting, which was reassuring and met us at the appointed place at the agreed time and from the 'get-go' he was giving us chat, pointing out interesting places, facts and so on. Having spent time in Dublin working, his English was perfect and the chat and banter was great the whole way around the tour. The food at the local food market was interesting and challenging - offering those already familiar with Spanish cuisine the opportunity to try something new. Food wasn't his only passion; he truly loves Mallorca which was evident as we weaved around the city for some time before our next stop - which was welcome as the tapas at the food market was quite filling. We stopped at viewing points, churches and all sorts of interesting spots; Álvaro certainly knows Palma, and Mallorca in general, and was happy to share his knowledge recommending places to visit, to eat and drink and how to get about the island, if that's your thing. Next food stop was a tiny little family bar offering some lovely local delicacies and some fantastic Vermouth which was followed up by a visit to a beautiful traditional café to enjoy some wonderful Ensaïmada served with hot chocolate and refreshing sorbet. A short walk to the Plaça Major where Álvaro left us to continue on around the old town ourselves. In total, Álvaro spent more than 3 hours with us - it certainly didn't feel like that, but time flies when you are having fun!! Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this fun tour and would certainly recommend spending time in the company of Álvaro. For us the ten tastings were just perfect (although in total, I think we actually had more - five tapas, two different sandwiches with two different olives, a glass of Vermouth, some Ensaïmadas, sorbet and hot chocolate) but for people looking for a full-on foodie experience they might prefer something more focussed on just the food rather than the tour.Time flies when you are having fun!

I booked Cesar for a private tour of Palma as part of my birthday celebration in Mallorca, and whew, what a gift he turned out to be—not just to me, but to my entire group of friends who flew in from all over the world. From our very first exchange, Cesar was a dream to coordinate with: proactive, responsive, and brimming with creative ideas. When I told him I was planning a custom tour bingo game for my friends, he didn't just say "cool"—he contributed his own suggestions for the tiles! Who does that?! A guide who gets it, that’s who. On the day of the tour, Cesar showed up with such energy, warmth, and charisma, we were instantly charmed. He struck that perfect balance between historical depth and personal connection. Knowing we all had Filipino roots, he wove in thoughtful nods to our heritage—like pointing out the intricate woodwork of Philippine origin at Palma City Hall. That kind of attention to detail? Chef’s kiss. Although our time together was short, Cesar made every minute count, guiding us through Palma's rich history and architecture with infectious passion. It wasn’t just informative—it was joyful. There’s a twinkle in Cesar’s eyes when he’s guiding that tells you this is more than a job for him—it’s his calling. If you're looking for someone who goes beyond the brochure, who’ll make your trip feel personal, magical, and full of heart—book Cesar. Trust me, your only regret will be not having more time with him.The Best Mallorcan Birthday Tour

Wir haben wunderschöne Plätze besucht, Gärten als auch diverse sakrale Objekte , Plazas und haben super Überblick über die Stadt bekommen, auch die Tipps für weitere Ausflüge, als auch für gute Essmöglichkeiten, danke dafür.Souveräne, humorvolle Reiseleitung

If you’re looking for the best walking tour in Palma de Mallorca, stop searching and book a tour with Cesar-you won’t regret it! We spent 3 unforgettable hours on a private tour exploring the historic heart of Palma with this incredible local guide. Cesar started with asking questions about what we wanted to experience and our interests so he could personalize the tour. Cesar is everything you want in a local tour guide: knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and genuinely proud of his island’s culture and history. From famous landmarks to hidden gems you’d never find on your own, he gave us an insiders look. We strolled through charming alleys, admired stunning architecture and even visited a local nunnery that quietly sells handmade sweets to support their cloistered life-something I would never have known about without him! He shared fascinating stories and local customs, it was clear Cesar truly loves helping visitors connect with the spirit of Palma de Mallorca. This isn’t just a sight-seeing trip-it’s a deep dive into the soul of the city. If you’re searching for unique excursions in Mallorca or wondering what to do in Palma, make Cesar’s walking tour your top pick, you’ll leave informed, inspired, and smiling!Palma’s Gems: History & Hidden Delights!

Did the half day tour of Palma with Cesar. Picked him because he was recommended by our friends who did two tours with him on the island. This tour was the highlight of the trip! Cesar is fun, engaging and full of history and interesting facts. The time flew by walking the streets and listening to the history! Cesar also recommended some restaurants and things to do on the other days which were very helpful. Highly recommend him. Incredible tour with Cesar

This was my first time visiting Palma. I didn't want to wander around aimlessly, so I booked this tour. Alvaro was great. We hit the major sites, but he also took us around the narrow streets of the old town, pointing out so many things we would have never found on our own. So much better than your standard cruise ship tour!Wonderful Day in Palma

We did a walking tour on Highlights and Hidden Gems of Palma de Mallorca with Cesar. I can't say enough about how great it was. Cesar will give you history, details, connections with our own countries, and personal details I can't believe you could get anywhere else. It was absolutely fascinating. He clearly loves his city and is passionate about sharing it. We saw more and learned more in a few hours than relatives who spent several days there! Cesar is also one of the kindest people you can meet. In fact he feels like a friend as soon as you meet him. He was so good with my adopted Mom who was in a wheelchair. If you're even thinking about doing a tour of Palma, do it with Cesar!! I would give him more than a 10 if I could.Don't miss a tour with Cesar

I expected there would be more to eat, but it turned out to be just enough in the end anyway. We tasted a few things, got some ideas of what to eat later by ourselves, saw many nice spots in central Palma and got to hear even more interesting stories. Suzanne was very chill, friendly and open. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a taste of Palma, both literally and figuratively :) Especially, if you have any time left in Palma afterwards and can return to taste some more of what you liked most.We're a fan Suzanne

We enjoyed our time spent with Suzanne exploring Palma. She made the meandering through the city easy, pointing out historical facts as we stopped to experience delicious tastings throughout the city. Tried fresh, organic local tastings that I likely would never have tried. And loved them all. It would have been easy to get lost and walk in circles had we not been with Suzanne. And she recommended a few places to explore after the tour, which we did. Thanks Suzanne.Great way to visit Palma
