What to expect
Your guide meets you (at your hotel or a central point) and walks you through Palma's key landmarks, weaving history and architecture into the route. You'll enter the cathedral without queuing—a genuine timesaver in high season—and have time to absorb its scale and detail. Midway through, you pause for ensaïmada: the guide explains how this sweet, layered pastry became essential to the island's identity, and you taste a proper version, not a tourist-trap replica. Expect candid recommendations for restaurants, cafés, and shortcuts that help you navigate like a resident rather than a visitor.
Good to know
Cathedral towers aren't included, only the main interior. Prams and pushchairs work fine on the route. Public transport is readily available if you decline hotel pickup. Tipping is optional. The pace suits all abilities.
