Itinerary
Pass by: We will start our tour in Palma, a city that was founded as a Roman camp on the remains of a Talayotic settlement. The city was subjected to several vandal raids during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Byzantine Empire, later colonized by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa) and, in the 13th century, by Jaime I of Aragon. From here we will start our route to the northwest of the island. Ready?
This beautiful Mallorcan mountain village, its ancient and cobbled streets, was once occupied by Georges Sand and Chopin, either to live or to visit, it should definitely not be missed. Its most famous attraction is the Monastery, the palace that belonged to King Sancho.

Traveler reviews
A must for people who want to hear and see the best of Mallorca
Great tour with a great tour guide. He gave us so much information on the history of the island on the way to the little city that was very interesting. Then walked us to the church and monastery telling us about the monks and Chopin. We walked through the buildings and stopped to hear a musician play a melody of Chopin's pieces for about 10 minutes which was beautiful. Then was taken to a pearl jewelry store where we entered a contest for a piece of jewelry which someone won when back on the bus. We had time to eat and shop. We highly recommend this tour and that wonderful man who guided it.
Very quaint .....
do not miss the visit of this characteristic village in the highest part of the island, known as the ideal place to have a snack with their typical and excellent croissants .....
Beautiful Valdemossa Horrible trip
The pick up was very confusing, horrible experience. No map to go around the village Valdemossa is beautiful and a lot to see.
Pretty nice for afternoon.
Tourist mountain village where CHOPIN once stayed. Plenty of souvenir shops, quite affordable and a few hidden gems to eat or drink.
Horrible experience
Horrible organisation. Never seen that (I travel a lot) A first time on Wednesday, July 24, the excursion was cancelled without telling us. We were told to come back today Friday, July 26 at 2 p.m. We called the company 6 times that told us to wait at a certain place. (with WhatsApp on video!) An hour after the bus still didn’t pass, we called again. The bus was in Valdemossa without us!!! Never choose TripAdvisor or Viator
