Cesar met us as planned and provided a wonderful experience in Palma de Mallorca. The tour description of Highlights and Hidden Gems was "right on point". He accommodated our pace, included everything we could hope to see in 3 hours, added a stop for book purchase and toured with us in the Cathedral to truly enhance our visit. We would highly recommend him!Learn about Palma!

Frank hat durch seine Persönlichkeit und sein Wissen unsere Tour zu einer ganz Besonderen gemacht! Er hat uns so viele wunderbare Orte gezeigt, wo außer uns keine Touristen zu finden waren, und so spannende Geschichten erzählt, dass sogar unser Teenager begeistert von der Tour war.

I took a tour in Mallorca with the guide Rony, and it was an unforgettable experience, especially because I was on my own, yet I never felt uncomfortable. Rony has a warm and professional approach that immediately put me at ease, allowing me to enjoy the evening without any worries. He took me to discover hidden corners of the island that I would hardly have found on my own and shared stories and curiosities that made the visit even more fascinating. Thanks to his recommendations, I also got to savor the authentic flavors of Mallorcan cuisine in the best places, away from the usual tourist spots. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island, especially if you’re traveling solo, Rony will make the experience unique and enjoyable!Discovering the hidden corners of Mallorca

Cesar was prompt and didn’t waste any time on sharing his vast knowledge of Palma. The tour was fantastic value for money and a great mix of culture, history, architecture and food, all delivered in a way that will ensure we wont forget the facts. The walking tour took in most parts of the City and Cesars warm, engaging character brought it life with his historical recollections and local knowledge. Excellent Guide

Frank was a fantastic guide. He has a deep knowledge of the history of Mallorca and a passion for the city. His tour brought the streets, architecture and monuments to life. I’d highly recommend booking him. Although I know Mallorca well and have been coming here for years, this is the first city tour I have done. He showed me many places I’d not heard of or been to before and delivers the tour with a great energy. Historic walk through old town Mallorca

We loved our tour with Pedro. He showed us things we would not have found on our own. We met in Placa Cort in front of an incredible 600-year-old olive tree, Olivera de Cort. Great start! We saw something interesting right off the bat. He spoke with us about the kind of tour we preferred. We wanted a little of everything—history, architecture, culture, and interesting tidbits. He delivered. Inside the city hall, are fascinating giant people. There is also a cardboard mache representation of the dragon of Na Coca. He told us that urban myth. The sky was phenomenal that day, so we got outstanding photos of the church. He also took us to the Arab Baths. The surrounding garden was beautiful. We were served some local pastries. Pedro had the most expressive eyes and showed a lot of enthusiasm for his town and its uniqueness. It was one of the best days of our vacation.Fabuloso!

Pedro was very informative and gave us an overview of Palm and Mallorca's history. He tied this in with the architecture and prevalent buildings and churches. My father has hearing aids and he was particularly observant with his needs. Pedro planned the tour according to our wishes. He executed it perfectly 👌 Thanks Pedro for your cheerfulness too!!Great tour!

At the beginning of our tour he asked us about our interests and we received a tailor-made tour showing us many hidden places of this beautiful city. César is not a typical guide, he is a host!

Wir hatten mit Frank die "Highlights & Hidden Gems of Palma de Mallorca" Tour gebucht. Frank war ein toller Gastgeber, der die Stadtbesichtigung mit sehr vielen Informationen zu Geschichte und Gegenwart kombiniert hat. Es war sehr kurzweilig und Frank war mit Herz und Seele dabei. Ein wunderschöner Spaziergang mit vielen interessanten Informationen. Eine klare Empfehlung, wenn man auch Hintergrundinformationen zu Land und Leuten haben möchte. Sehr informativ und kurzweilig

We arrived in Palma Saturday February 10 2024 in the morning, Frank was very flexible on our tour times. We met Frank at our meeting point and our adventure began. Our tour was to be 3 hours long but extended out to 4 hours. To have a Professor guide you around the city was amazing. The conversations we had along with the sights made Palma memorable. If you have a chance to have Frank as your guide, you will have no regrets. Frank thank you so much for an enjoyable tour. Craig Palma with Frank

Frank hosted my wife and I for a highlights and hidden gems walking tour in Palma which was terrific and did everything we hoped it would. Frank's expertise in social history provided a great anchor for stories and insights to be woven from, all of which were told in an highly engaging and personable way. The time flew. We usually do a walking tour early on in city breaks to get our bearings and work out what we want to see again or where we have seen enough. It was a well curated walk and with plenty of suggestions of additional things to explore, some not always obvious from other sources. As well as an accelerated induction to Palma, we were able to more effectively plan our remaining days as a consequence. Frank was charming company too.Informative and engaging

Cesar met us right on time and we started on a delightful walking tour of the highlights of old Palma. Cesar was very accommodating of our individual needs as we made our way. He shared his vast knowledge of the history, including transportation routes, buildings (and the families who own and live there), culture, and numerous other historical tidbits. He was very personable and engaging in his interaction with us. As we wrapped up our event, we asked him to recommend restaurants and other sites for our following days on Mallorca. He responded later that day with a detailed itinerary for the rest of our stay, complete with dining recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cesar and give him our highest recommendation. Outstanding tour of Palma's old city

We had a day in Palma towards the end of our transatlantic cruise and because we had an afternoon sailing trip already booked, we needed a flexible option for our morning. The cruise port is about a 50-minute walk away from town, so while it would be possible to walk, we decided to take a taxi, which was easy enough. Originally, I had booked this tour for 9am and while it was easy to change the time to 9:30am and I did receive confirmation, I wish Withlocals would issue a new voucher instead of just saying we could use the old one because I kept questioning myself looking back at the booking and our plans for the day. This walk with Cesar seemed perfect in terms of getting a lay of the land and a little snack. I also liked that it included the Arab baths, which seemed to be a must-see when I was looking for things to do, although in the end, that wasn’t the highlight for me. It’s so nice to have a private guide and because of our early start time, we were able to walk through many of the charming streets before they got crowded. I love hearing about people’s experiences living in a city (and even seeing pictures of their dogs and gardens, if they’re willing to share). We also had the opportunity to try something different (than the expected ensaimada) because we were there on a Saturday when the convent bakery was open, so that was something special. Cesar was friendly and knowledgeable, and I wish we’d had more time afterwards to duck into the shops he’d pointed out and peruse the craft and food booths that were along the waterfront that day, but we’ll have to come back. If you don’t mind an early start though, I definitely suggest it to avoid the heat and the crowds.Lovely morning stroll through Palma

Cesar was an excellent guide. We spent one afternoon in Palma in the old town on an awesome walking tour. Then the next 3 days he was our guide/driver on the entire island. He was always punctual, professional, excellent driver, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about his island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Mallorca and did more things because of him that solo travel wouldn’t have included. Tell him what you want and he can make it happen. Or he can suggest. We couldn’t be more pleased. If my husband and I return to Mallorca in the future, he will be who we call for touring. We are happy to recommend Cesar. He is a top rated guide and knows the island like the back of his hand. A bucket list destination checked off with the help of Cesar. You can’t find a better guide!Awesome guide
