Itinerary
This excellent, gothic style fort is known as the oldest round castle in Europe. In was built at the beginning of the XIV century by King Jaime the second. It is built upon a mound and looks around onto a forest, which offers beautiful views of the city, the port, the mountains and the plains.
One of the main urban parks in the capital that is situated right next to the Cathedral underneath the ancient wall. It has green grass, trees, family areas and a great lake that symbolises the old act that the Mediterranean bathed the Cathedral and Wall.
Situated in the commercial heart of Palma, it is one of the most modern markets in Europe. They offer local, seasonal products and local specialised produce. Nowadays, it is a popular meeting point for tourists and residents due to its great variety in food.
The city of Palma has been forming over centuries as a city with a variety of architectural styles thanks to the different cultures that inhabited the island. We will know the main shopping streets such as Calle San Miguel or Plaza Mayor, which was the seat of the inquisition until 1823 and today is a beautiful historic square of Palma.
The main religious building of the Island is the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, better known as La Seu. With Gothic influences, it sits above the sea on top of the ancient roman wall of the city in the Bay of Palma. It is declared a monumental-historical-artistic piece and its building was started by King Jaime the first in 1229, in honour of Santa Maria.

Traveler reviews
Guidedless guided tour..
It was such a 'nice' 'GUIDED' tour and only for less than 33 euros! We got picked up from the hotel in a nice bus, brought all the way to town where the 'GUIDED' tour was supposed to start. While still in the bus, our tour guide Ivan had explained, that they have more than one tour option and so once we arrive, we will be divided according to what tour we chose. When i showed him my booking, for the second time ( the first was before getting on the bus), I was told like to a stupid child that we have FREE TIME, and we do not get a guide, for a GUIDED TOUR... now few days prior we went to town with city bus and walked around and for the same experience (apart from a fancy bus, rude 'guide' that apparently have a selective reading I guess, and a time limit if we wanted to be brought back where we were picked up) for only €2 each way..
Bad experience
They did not give us the transfer, either the outward or the return for exchange of person...? , we had to organize ourselves on public buses, hot and crowded with payment of ticket.comunque 64 € of the experience purchased on the site, They took them off the paper...
Palma day trip
Very knowledgeable guide who gave us so much information about the city and cathedral. Myself and teenage daughter. We had about an hour in the cathedral and about 30 mins with the guide walking in the streets. The bus has been delayed getting us there due to traffic volume and road works. So the walking tour may if been longer. But we had a good few hours to ourselves exploring Palma. Clear guidance on pick up, comfortable air conditioning bus
Brings Palma to Life!
Jaime, our guide was so personable and knowledgeable about Palma's history and culture. He put it all in a way that really brought it to life. And he had a great rapport with all of us, as well as a good sense of humor. He also walked us to a restaurant he recommended for our lunch, which was outstanding. If you can specify Jaime when you book this tour, do so!
Magnificent Mallorca
Great tour but slot of walking. Every step worth it. We had a very knowledgeable guide which made them experience well worth it
