Splendid tour with good local food and friendly guides. - Very well organised tour with friendly knowledgeable guides. The food was excellent as was the one glass of wine. One thing to be aware of is there are two identical bars in the market. Remember which one has the tapas!!

Variety, authenticity and taste in old Palma - Melanie spoke English and German, was very kind and knew the good spots to give us a taste of authentic Mallorcan treats while walking around old Palma. The bottle of cold water during this heatwave was a welcome boon!

Interesting tour with a local guide - We've stayed in Palma a number of times but this was our first walking tour. Melanie, our guide, was brilliant. She really knew her stuff - and was very entertaining!! We thought we knew the city well but Melanie took us to places we'd never been before. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great introduction to Palma and to Mallorcan cuisine. - I loved the trip to the market with our guide Melanie, who was very informative, both with the history of Palma but also it’s food. We started off going to a convent where we had some locally produced cookies by the nuns, before going to the market, where we had a drink and a plate of bocadillas, which is Mallorcan tapas but all on one plate, which was really tasty. We then moved on to a shop selling lovely ham and finished in a cake and ice cream shop. All this was done at a leisurely pace and with Melanie showing us some of the sights of Palma that we would never have found. Highly recommended.

A good walking tour - Walking around the city and learning about the history was the great, Janeanne was a super guide, very friendly and knowledgable with excellent English. The stops were all really interesting but the main tapas at the market was very disappointing- all mixed in a bowl together, didn’t taste good, very unappealing. Nice glass of wine though and other taste stops were fine and in places we wouldn’t have found ourselves.
