Pedro was an excellent host and tour guide. He was communicative prior to our booking, he was on time, very informative, personable, and took us to some excellent places for tastings. He made us laugh and feel comfortable, gave us great knowledge of the history of Palma, and tailored the tour to what we wanted. Great afternoon with Pedro

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

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!

We had a great time with Alvaro. It was very informative and we went to parts of Palma which we would never have found ourselves. There is something special about being shown around by a local person who is proud of their island. The food was delicious and above all else we had great fun. Thank you!Brilliant tour

We had an incredible time on our food tour in Palma with Adriana! She was so friendly and welcoming—right from the start, she made us feel like locals as we strolled through the market and sampled delicious bites along the way. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and the food was absolutely amazing. Adriana also went above and beyond by giving us great recommendations for where to eat and drink after the tour. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mallorca—it was one of the highlights of our trip!Palma’s Flavors Brought to Life

Den halben Abzug gabs nur dafür, dass Jorge fast gerannt ist, etwas langsamer wäre schön gewesen. Sehr gute Auswahl der Lokalitäten für Essen und Trinken, Jorge sehr netter Typ der alle Sprachen spricht, hat uns einiges erklärt. Der Abschluss war superlecker, Enseimada und ein fantastisches Mandeleis, es fehlte nur noch ein Cortado....Es war ganz toll,würden 9 1/2 Sterne geben

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

She showed us places we would never have found ourselves. Good mix of history, interesting Majorcan facts and great food and drinks to try. We never felt rushed, the pace suited us. She answered our questions and was passionate about local Majorcan culture. Thoroughly enjoyable tour. Would highly recommend. Local highlights of Palma

Natalia is a passionate and energetic guide, clearly beloved by her community and excited to share it with us. We started at Santa Catarina market where Natalia knew almost every vendor. We got to try numerous different items including sandwiches, tortilla, croquettes, and different types of alcohol (if we wanted). We then proceeded to walk and eat our way around Palma, stopping at places only a local would know about. We finished the trip at an incredible bakery, tasting a variety of sweet and savory foods and drinking hot chocolate.
Even though it was pouring rain, we had an incredible time. Natalia was so excited because the gargoyles on the churches were all spitting water, which she said almost never happens.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in history, culture, and most importantly food!!Incredible insider tour

We spent an absolutely fantastic time with Pedro. His knowledge of Palma and more widely Mallorca was enormously impressive. As we walked around the city he brought the history, culture and food of the island to life in a most entertaining and enagaging way and knew the answers to all of our questions. The historic food establishments he introduced us to were clearly quite the very best of their kind and the food we sampled was truly delicious! We would have absolutely no problem in recommending Pablo to any visitors who really want to experience Palma under the guidance of an expert.Absolutely fantastic!

She had a clear rapport with all of the shop owners and wait staff in the restaurants we visited. I’d recommend booking a tour earlier in the day as one of the stops was closing soon when we visited, but nonetheless, it was a wonderful tour that we would absolutely do again. A wonderful tour!

Our 10 Tastings of Majorca tour with Adriana was a huge highlight of our trip. Adriana is very knowledgable, not just about the best food and drink spots but also the history and culture of Majorca. Every thing we tried was delicious and we were so full by the end. We managed to buy some food and drink along the way to take home to live the experience a bit longer. Me and my husband would really recommend booking a tour with Adriana to explore Majorca like a local, worth every penny! Highlight of out Holiday!

Alvaro was very knowledgeable and showed and told us a lot about the city of Palma. But as a "10 tastings" tour, Alvaro's tour was a disappointment, especially compared with similarly promoted tours we have had in Lisbon and Vienna.
As we started the tour, we informed Alvaro that the three of us were all on "low carb" diets (two of us are diabetics), so we prefer high-protein, low-carbohydrate foods. The first food stop was a tapas stall in a market, and Alvaro did not offer choices or ask what we would like -- instead he just ordered the traditional round Mallorcan potato rolls (coca de patata), which is loaded with carbs and fat nad is the last thing any of us would want. After getting the potato rolls we could see that traditional meatballs were available -- nothing special but they would have been good for us.
After politely finishing as much of the potato rolls as we could, and Alvaro "scolding" us that the proprietor would be upset if we didn't eat all of the food that was offered, Alvaro begrudgingly finished what was left (he is slim and seems to eat very little himself). Before we left the tapas stall, I asked the proprietor what was the large, flat, crusted tapa on display right in front of me (which would be cut into squares for each plate ordered). He replied that it was tuna, which would have been perfect for us!
From that moment, I got the impression that Alvaro simply wanted to order things that were cheap, since the cost of the food evidently comes from what he's paid, and we only stopped at three places and tasted well under 10 things total. On another 10-tastings tour, booked through Withlocals but in Lisbon, we went to 5-6 places and tasted over 15 different things, including 6 things at the very first place! I think that Alvaro could be alright on general Palma city tours, but avoid him for food tours. What we experienced was a city tour with a few snacks thrown in.
