Adriana guided me through Palma on an exceptional food tour. She is a warm and friendly person who makes you feel like you are a local (at least for a short time). I tasted amazing food, learned more about the culture and got tips for my remaining time in Mallorca. I felt like I was out learning from a friend who knows the good spots to go. If you are looking for a great food tour, you can stop looking!Not to be missed

We had the best experience in Mallorca with Arianna. In addition to being very knowledgable about the area, food and wine, she is a people person and is someone who you will meet and instantly become a lifelong friend. We toured the places locals visit, had a variety of local dishes and drinks and adjusted the tour as our wishes evolved. Arianna has lived all over the world and has a keen appreciation of the USA and South America as well as Europe. She is a great resource for your traveling questions or just where to find that special food or item in Palma. Our tour was ontime, metered at our pace and ended as planned. You cannot go wrong with Arianna. Feel free to write for more info...gregendom@yahoo.com. Great Food & Culture Tour Palma De Mallorca

We had a great time strolling the streets of Palma with Adriana! She took us to two wonderful markets in the city and in between we stopped at a number of places where there were incredible views of the city. We had several tastings of Iberico ham, local cheeses, hand made croquettes and local wine. It was a very relaxing afternoon and I would highly recommend taking one of her tours! She even gave us a number of restaurant/tapas bar recommendations as well. If you love food and wine, this is the tour to take!Wonderful afternoon with Adriana!

We went on a food tour with Adriana on a gorgeous sunny Wednesday. Adriana contacted me a couple of days before to confirm our meeting location & messaged when arrived. Adriana started leading us around old streets, parks, markets and giving us so many interesting facts and taking us to beautiful views! We tried many cheeses and hams washed down with some local drinks! I know if we had spent the day in Palma without Adriana we wouldn’t have seen what we saw... Highly recommend this tour when you next visit Palma! Thanks so much Adriana x Excellent Knowledge and Lovely Lady

A really lovely 3 hours out and about, good introduction into Palma as we popped past historical buildings, public art installations and beautiful courtyards. Adriana was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Accommodated food allergies for one within our group without making them feel they were missing out. Food from historic bakeries along with a market hall, other locations and some local wine and vermouth. Excellent 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!

I can’t speak highly enough of this tour and of Adriana! Adriana was a fantastic guide with exceptional knowledge of Mallorca. I loved that she knew everyone at all of our stops and we were taken to places she frequently visits that we probably wouldn’t of found or gone to ourselves! Being able to learn about the history whilst tasting local dishes was extremely perfect and the value for money was great, we were so full after all of the food and drinks we got to try, we needed a big nap after! I’m so happy we got to spend the day with Adriana and I recommend to everyone visiting Mallorca! The best tour to do!

From our initial interaction by messages, Adriana was open and willing to tailor a tasting tour for our family of 4 including 2 university age Sons that are not easy to capture and keep enthralled. The entire tour was full of wonderful cultural sites and historical relevance, backgrounds mixed with stops at various cafes with the tastings both food and beverages. One highlight, Wife is a foodie, I had mentioned her as a Chocoholic and we were surprised by a visit to the Chocolatier kitchen/shop owner with an engaging explanation of process and tastings that left us wanting more . . . All our stops were in markets, shops, cafes we could see ourselves revisiting, spending more time in the future. Adriana was vibrant, engaging, personable and the tour flowed well, she often asked for our input, wants, likes etc . . . and the tour was an enriching experience for all. Highly recommended.Enriched in Palma de Mallorca

Adrianna was exceptionally knowledgeable literally about the entire island of Mallorca…food, culture, history, etc. Her demeanor was friendly and welcoming and has vast array of skills in speaking several languages. My husband and I were extremely impressed by her social awareness and discernment as she took the time to know us and customized our tour to our personalities. There is not a single stop or tasting we did not enjoy with Adriana. Spending the day with her falls in the top two of my list on our vacation; and I do not have a single regret other than having more time with her! You will not be disappointed, as a matter of fact she was a blessing to our trip! Thank you for everything!First Class Tour

We had a wonderful time in Mallorca mainly because our tour guide Adriana took us all over and directed us where to shop and fed us all through our tour. We would have been lost without her. And with her, our brief time in Mallorca was rich. Adrianna was smart, well traveled, interesting and knowledgable. She was also interested in us. Very personable. We highly recommend this tour and our fantabulous tour guide Adriana. My favorite part was the Vermuteria. I had no idea that was a thing and now that I do I was able to wow my friends and family with it. Thanks to Adriana. Adrianna was amazing!

We had a fantastic tour with Adriana. She tailored the tour perfectly for the 2 of us and our 11 month old baby. Many great stops with excellent food. We certainly would not have found these on our own. I would recommend doing this tour at the start of a holiday; Adriana's suggestions informed the rest of our trip round Majorca. Thanks!A great start to our holiday

Adriana gave us a great experience of Palma. She was responsive and helpful in the planning stage, attentive, informative and charming on the tour. We really appreciated the way she wriggled us in to the buzzing hotspots of Saturday afternoon socialising and snacking so that we experienced the atmosphere as well as the food! Thank you for a memorable experience. Brilliant guide and companion for the day

Adriana was awesome. For a family of four (14 & 19 yrs) she kept it light, fun and enjoyable. Fist time in Mallorca - many times in Spain. Not just your typical Spanish tapas foods - some truly local dishes - some new to us. Great local insight and learnt some great things about Mallorca foods and culture. Great fun for family of four

Adriana was the perfect guide for us - the food and experiences she picked fit our taste and interests. She brought us to places we would never have thought to visit because they're not very obvious to tourists and they're not in travel blogs. I also really liked that while she shared some local knowledge with us, she did not overdo it. Her energy was also just right for us - engaging but not exhausting. This added to the trip feeling fun but relaxed, intimate, and natural. Thanks, Adriana!Highlight of our Mallorca trip

We liked Adriana as soon as we met her. She was easy to engage with and we were quickly learning about Palma (having been to the island regularly for the last 10 years but never bothered to learn much about the history) but we were not bombarded with information which made for a more relaxing experience and you then remember more of it. Next we need to try a Food experience!Great experience!
