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

My sisters and niece have never been to Mallorca — while my husband and I have been here many times. We all learned so much with Alvaro! We went on an amazing 3 hour walk through Palma - stopping to taste Mallorcan delicacies! Alvaro knows where to go and what to order — some things, even as a chef, I have not tried before! Alvaro is knowledgeable and fun to spend an afternoon with in Palma. Definitely worth it and good for lots of age groups. Lots of walking - so littles may need a stroller if part of the group. My niece is 9! She did great! A wonderful afternoon with Alvaro!

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 tour with Alvaro. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting and we saw places we would never have seen. We also had food and drinks we would never have chosen and all were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend Alvaro for a tour. Excellent tour

The tour was very interesting and Alvaro showed us some hidden places! Even though it was a food tour he also told us a lot about the history of Palma :) The food was amazing and very authentic. You could really see that the places and food are also his favorites. Way better than expected

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

We did a food tour with Alvaro in 2023 which was amazing. We loved him and Mallorca so much we came back in 2025 with the in-laws so they could experience a food tour with Alvaro. He is super knowledgeable and will answer any question. The foods we tried were amazing. We will be back for a 3rd time soon. We came back
