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 .
Contact directly to local guide of Palma city tours Miguel Corral for tailored tours .

Contact directly to private local tour guide on Majorca excursions e-mail : Miguel Corral 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.

Valldemossa is only 18 km away from Palma (tour of 3 or 4 hours will be perfect)
This itinerary takes visitors around the streets, plazas and most picturesque spots in the village of Valldemossa, an introduction to the places that witnessed French writer George Sand and Polish composer Frederick Chopin's stay on Mallorca.
The celebrated couple resided in this Mallorcan village during the winter of 1838-39. Its landscapes, peoples and customs made a strong impression on the writer, who would set them down years later in a book entitled 'A Winter in Mallorca(1841).
During their visit, the couple stayed in cells at the Royal Carthusian Monastery, admission to which is not included in the tour.
