Andreas was great, gave us Mallorca history, guided us thru the city, cathedral, arab baths and as an added bonus many of the beautiful art displays around the city. The best part of our tour was the tapas restaurant recommendation at the end of the tour and he even ordered for us. Great tapas and white sangria!Great tour guide!

We were a group of four adults and two teens and our tour with Cesar exceeded our expectations. He provided us with interesting history and pop culture, while also making the content engaging for all of us. We got to see the big sites and a number of hidden gems that we would have missed, if we’d tried to visit the city on our own. We loved Cesar’s kind and caring energy! In depth guide; great with teens

We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour with Alvaro in Palma de Mallorca. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and incredibly enjoyable. Even before the tour began, Alvaro was fantastic with communication. We had some unexpected travel delays, and he was so understanding — adjusting our meeting time without any hassle. That flexibility really set the tone for how thoughtful and accommodating he is. The tour began with a visit to the stunning cathedral, where Alvaro brought the history and culture of the site to life with engaging stories and a deep knowledge of the region. His passion for local heritage really made the experience special. When we mentioned wanting to switch things up a bit, Alvaro didn’t miss a beat. He took us to one of the oldest bakeries in the area, where we enjoyed an authentic Palm de Mallorca dessert — easily the best dessert of our entire trip — paired with a rich, flavorful espresso. The surprises didn’t end there. Alvaro then led us to a charming local spot where we had a refreshing vermouth along with a plate of olives, meats, and cheeses. It was the perfect way to relax and take in the atmosphere of the town like locals. To top it all off, Alvaro personally made sure we found the best taxis so that we could return to our ship with time to spare. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and Alvaro was a huge part of that. His warmth, knowledge, and flexibility make him a guide I’d recommend to anyone visiting the area. Don’t miss out!Unforgettable Walking Tour with Alvaro

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

Our group had a private city tour with Pedro. He made sure first to find our interests and level of detail for the tour. We learned about history, architecture, culture and more. The visit included the buying of cookies from the convent Santa Clara - done in the old way with the nuns remaining unseen. He pointed out details in the cathedral that we would have missed on our own. We highly recommend tour with locals and Pedro was excellentInformative and interesting

We booked a 3h sightseeing trip with Cesar, the "Creator of Memories". And indeed he did create memories for us. Focussing on our areas of interest he showed us the very best of Palma and many hidden gems. I will never again forget Drago and Caracol ;-) Skipping the lines was very convenient, too. Cesar is very nice, easy-going and relaxed, and full of useful information. Highly recommended!Perfect trip with Cesar

We enjoyed our time with her and will make sure to make gut use of the suggestions she gave us.Harmonic start

César loves his city Palma. Touring with him felt like touring with a long friend that knows much more about the city than the usual tourist knowledge. He doesn’t do it for the money. It’s kind of a calling for him. My advice to you: Try him out.He is the best. Period.

We did the Private Walking Tour with Cesar and it was amazing. Not only did he show us the secrets of Palmas Oldtown, that we never would have encountered in our own. Spending Time with Cesar was also fun, we had many laughs and not a single one of our questions remained unanswered. Highlights were his deep insights to the history of Palma, connecting the dots and spots while walking through the narrow streets away from the crowds. We highly recommend this tour and especially Cesar! Thank you so much! Absolutely amazing

Met Adriana as arranged and proceeded to enjoy her company for the next few hours. Friendly and informative, she took us to off the beaten track to discover sights we would have been unlikely to find on our own. Took us at our own pace, both of us senior citizens, and kept up lively conversation throughout. At our request, she mailed us details of her favourite local restaurants and tapas bars which goes above and beyond expectations. To summarise, lovely lady, splendid old town walk and no hesitation in recommending her to other visitors to PalmaSplendid private walking tour

We’ve traveled extensively over the past two decades—on every continent except Australia (so far)—and have had well over 100 tour guides, including more than 40 through Withlocals. In my work as a global health researcher, I’ve also had countless encounters across cultures and countries. And I can say, without hesitation: Cesar is the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge of Mallorca was both expansive and precise—not just facts, but stories that brought the island to life. He shared fascinating historical and contemporary insights into the island’s people, society, and geography with remarkable depth and clarity. We did two tours with Cesar. The first took us to the Drach Caves, with a stop at Nadal’s Tennis Academy and lunch at a fantastic local (non-touristy) restaurant. The second was a 1/2 day trip to Valldemossa and Deià. While the destinations were beautiful, what made the experience unforgettable was Cesar himself. Cesar is not only a tour guide—he’s an active commercial pilot, flying to/from London 2-3 days/week (!), a published novelist, a songwriter, and a person with a rich and inspiring family history. He even played us some of his own musical recordings during the drive, and they were truly exceptional. Above all, Cesar is deeply engaged—with the world, with the people he meets, and with living a full and meaningful life. His openness, kindness, and humanity moved us deeply. I’ve never written a review like this before, and I don’t expect I ever will again.Best guide ever in 20 yrs of global travel
