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.
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!
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!
We were very surprised that Palma had so much history to offer! Cesar knew a lot of details and was able to answer all our questions! He listened to our wishes and adapted the tour accordingly. He also took us to an old local bakery, which we would never have discovered ourselves!
