Your private tour begins with a panoramic drive through Palma, giving you an overview of Mallorca's capital before exploring its historic centre on foot. Travelling in your private vehicle, your guide will introduce you to the city while you pass some of its most important areas and landmarks.
The panoramic route takes in different sides of Palma, including the seafront, marina and port area, as well as some of the city's main avenues and neighbourhoods. We will also make a photo stop at a panoramic viewpoint, where you can enjoy excellent views over Palma and its bay.
We then continue to the historic old town, where the walking part of your private tour begins. Your guide will take you through some of Palma's most characteristic streets and squares while explaining how the city has developed over the centuries and pointing out details that are easy to miss when exploring on your own.
The walk takes us into Palma's monumental quarter, dominated by the magnificent Palma Cathedral, known locally as La Seu, and the neighbouring Almudaina Palace, whose origins reflect centuries of Mallorcan history. The standard tour includes an exterior visit to these monuments, although entrance can be incorporated into a customised itinerary if requested in advance.
We will also walk towards Palma's old city walls, one of the best places from which to appreciate the relationship between the historic city and the Mediterranean. From here there are beautiful views across the Bay of Palma, with the marina, port and Bellver Castle forming part of the panorama. Throughout the tour, your private guide will provide historical and local context while leaving enough time to enjoy the city, take photographs and experience Palma at a comfortable pace.
Palma de Mallorca Private Tour Customer Reviews
Palma has a wonderful contrast between its busy waterfront and the quieter streets of the old town. We particularly enjoyed discovering this difference during the tour. The Cathedral and Almudaina Palace gave the historic centre a real sense of character, while the views from the old walls were simply lovely. The combination of driving and walking worked beautifully and meant we could appreciate both the wider city and its more intimate corners.
I arranged this private Palma tour for clients who wanted to explore the city comfortably and avoid a large group excursion. The combination of panoramic sightseeing and a guided walk through the historic centre suited their plans very well. They particularly enjoyed the Cathedral area, the old city walls and the views across the bay. From an organisational point of view, having a private itinerary was useful, as it allowed the experience to be tailored to their interests. My clients returned very happy with the day.
We were only in Palma for a few hours from our cruise, so we didn't want to waste time figuring out buses or taxis. Being collected at the port was a big help. We drove around some of the main areas first, then had a proper walk through the old town. The whole thing was easy and well paced, and we got a much better feel for Palma than we would have wandering around on our own.
I would definitely recommend this tour to clients who want to see some of Mallorca's most scenic areas without joining a large group. The combination of Valldemossa, the Tramuntana coastal road and Port de Sóller works very well. The private format also gives more flexibility than a standard organised excursion, which is especially useful for cruise passengers or travellers with limited time.
One of our favourite days in Mallorca. We loved exploring Valldemossa and learning more about the village before continuing through the mountains towards Sóller. The route itself was beautiful, with plenty of amazing landscapes along the way. Having a private tour made everything feel much more relaxed...
Beautiful city, especially the Cathedral and the old town. We also liked the views from the city walls. A very nice way to see Palma.
Our guide Melanie really made the difference from all other tours we have experienced. She knew so much about Palma, but never turned it into a boring history lesson. We enjoyed the walk through the old town and had plenty of time to stop for pictures. Very pleasant afternoon.
Booking was very easy and the communication was good. We wanted a private tour of Palma and everything was arranged without any problems. Nice experience.
