Oficial Licensed Guides of Mallorca offers a selection of cultural and historical guided tours of the city. From its superb monuments to Jewish quarter, history is revealed with the added touch that their staff are indeed locals themselves; multi-lingual guides that accompany you on a sunny morning or star studded summer evening, telling tales of intrigue and wonder of a life now past.
Tour guides are truly passionate about their job. Let them take you through the peaceful streets of the old town and learn about the rich heritage of its buildings, plazas, palaces and courtyards, past the ancient city walls down to the cathedral.
They will show you what the streets are really hiding and provide a global view of the historic and artistic career of a city with many faces. From the Plaza Cort, Palma’s oldest square, past the Santa Eulalia church, curiosities that would certainly be missed if you go alone are shared.
Then venture along Palma’s oldest street and discover what used to lie below the foundations of the magnificent houses that now line it.
Hear the legends of the dragons, see mystical carvings and enjoy a wealth of historical information you would never find in any guide book, before arriving at Palmas Cathedral and then finally on to La Lonja ( former stock exchange market ) to see the signs left of passing days .

You're smart - While the masses are taking tours with hundreds of other passengers, travelers in the know arrange private tours. Get the information you need and experience your destination like an insider.
You're in control - You choose the time of your tour. You decide which sights interest you the most. You decide when to stop to rest, shop, eat or explore in further detail, all at your own pace, with your guide always ready to give advice.
You're engaged - You can get closer to details and enjoy personal conversations geared directly to your interests.
You're inspired - Local guides love their cities and cultures and want to share that love with you.
You're a guest - That's our philosophy! You'll stop being a tourist and become a guest. It's like having a friend in Europe to take you under their wing and show you what only the insiders know.
You're value conscious - If you are a small group, it's maybe a little more expensive than the cruise line's bus ride, but so much more worth it! If you have a large group, a private tour is always the best value.
You won't be fooled - With large tour groups you are stuck to their schedule, right down to the forced gift shop visit. Sometimes they pass up the most interesting details about a sight because it would be impossible for everyone in a large group to see it. And if you can't hear the guide, or you fall behind because the pace is too fast, you're just out of luck. On your own you walk around with your nose in a guidebook. None of this happens with a private tour!hem with you.
You're satisfied - You get the experience of a lifetime because your private shore tour excursion is personalized just for you and like no one else's.
These tours are chauffeured tours and depending on your port include a tour leader, a driver guide or a licensed guide, all of whom speak fluent English. In many cases we can also arrange a tour in Spanish. These private tours are operated with luxury non-smoking, air conditioned, sedans, minivans, minibuses or full size coaches. So we can handle a private tour for two or a family reunion trip for sixty or more.

Palma throught the colours and numbers
If you like philosophy joing this tour to find out the old four enigmas of the Middle Age. The four colours of each enigma (white, green, red and yellow) how those colours are costantly present surrounding us in most of the monuments and houses when we walk.
What's the meaning of the green shuttles of the windows in Mallorcan houses. Do you know why Hope is always in green colour or why the martyrs always dressed in red in Christian iconography? In this vist you will discover how the colours and the numbers are linked with the circle of life of the humans or the nature.
The tour will take us throughout a city that looks towards the sea. You will be walking on the oldest streets through the most important part of this charming city. You'll be imagining how was the type of life of people dedicated to diferent activities ( merchants, jewish, noblety, pirates ,corsairs...) in each of the four separated quarters 700 years ago. Those endogamic groups left us a very rich heritage that we admire today.
The walking tour last 2 hours about.

Tour of Valldemossa and Chopin. Mallorca
There is an amazing article on Mallorca in last month's National Geographic Traveler. It looks so beautiful, simple and elegant and peaceful, that now I'm dying to go.
Has anyone ever been? Is it as untouched and pristine as it looks in photos? Is it expensive? I assume they use Spain's currency Euro there, right? I understand that it's becoming a popular spot for wealthy jetsetters, so I'm wondering if I can even afford to go on an average budget!
I hope someone can share their experiences with Mallorca
Thanks!
This is our most popular tour covering all the major attractions in Mallorca. Our guide Miguel had the honor to share those experiences whith...illustrious people in Valldemossa

The carriages have platforms at each end which make up for the lack of air conditioning, and provide a better view for railfans.
The views of orange groves have given away to panoramic views of the base of the Sierra de Alfábia range. A series of short tunnels passes and then we enter Túnel Major, as its name indicates, the longest and most important tunnel on the route, built at the route's highest point of 323 meters for a length of 2,856 meters. The construction of Túnel Major began in June 1907 and was completed in June 1910. The chilly air of the tunnel is a shock to the platform riders and only the brave remain to enjoy the lightshow given by the pantograph as it scrapes off the 1200 volts of DC power. As the train emerges, the pantograph has stooped so low you can almost touch it, but perhaps best not to do so.
A stop is soon made at Mirador des Pujol de'n Banya, a panoramic viewpoint and passing siding. Trains bound for Sóller stop here for a few minutes letting its passengers admire the view while waiting for the Palma-bound train to finish its climb up the mountainside. If one looks carefully the Sóller station can be seen slightly to the right of Sóller's cathedral in the valley below.
Twisting our way down the mountainside in a tight "U" configuration, we quickly arrive at the delightful station in Sóller, a town nestled in the mountains dividing the holiday hot spots of the south from the quieter, more picturesque, and rugged northern coast. The station is full of character and Spanish charm which seems to come alive at the coming and going of the few trains which serve it. Passengers waiting for Palma-bound trains are entertained by the shunting back and forth of the engines of the railway, as well as of the adjacent tramway.
Also located here is the depot of the railway, which looks after the 500hp electric locomotives which haul the trains, as well as the tram cars. Steam traction was used in its early days, but the line was electrified in 1929, seventeen years after it opened. The current rolling stock dates from the conversion to electric operation. Official site of the Tren de Sóller and tramway.
The ride doesn't finish here, however; a tramway line using heritage and some home-built cars operates from Sóller to the coastal town of Puerto de Sóller. The tramway, used by tourists and locals alike, runs 4 km. through the heart of the town of Sóller along streets and through its main square, and then via private right of way emerging at the edge of Puerto de Sóller's cove beach.
The tramway was Majorca's first electric railway, operating since 1913. The tramway makes 17 stops along its route but only a handful are used-- those in-between the town centers of Sóller and Puerto de Sóller have limited boardings, mostly by locals (and railfans), and many are "flag" stops. The tramway is single track except at the Sóller terminal, at Ca'n Guida station, at Es Control station, and just past Marysol station outbound. (The penultimate station on the line, Marysol, is the current terminal of the line due to repair works between there and the usual terminal at Sa Pagesa.

We take you by car from the pier in the port of Palma ,
We will find the right place (out of the city) to take the train or the tram,
We will wait for you when you finish the ride,to continue for the rest of the trip.
