Full description

Discover the historic homes of the capital of Mallorca on a 3-hour walking tour of the Old City of Palma. Founded by the Romans, it has had a turbulent history, passing to the Byzantines and Moors before the Christian reconquest. With the help of a fully licensed personal guide, explore the handsome streets of the Old Town and the patios of the stately homes. Boasting monumental beauty and lavish impressions, these unique architectural spaces remain untouched by time. You will be especially fascinated by the 4 enigmas of the Middle Ages. Explore the 4 colors of the enigma - white, green, red, and yellow – and discover how they are constantly present in the city’s monuments and houses. Learn the meaning of the green shutters on the windows of Mallorcan houses, and why the martyrs always dressed in red in Christian iconography. Discover how colors and numbers are linked with the circle of life. You will be walking along the oldest streets of the city. Imagine the life of the people dedicated to different occupations and beliefs throughout the ages, from merchants, to Jewish settlers, the nobility, to pirates.

Interesting and well-founded

Our guide Txemi really knows his way around Palma and has always led us very well around the rush of visitors! We could experience many interesting corners with a lot of history! It was great for us to respond spontaneously to our wishes !. During the tour we were able to marvel at all the important monuments in a reasonable time (not too long and not too short, a total of 3 hours)! In short, gladly again!

very good, very informative, worth recommending!

The tour was very good, all of the different aspects of the city of Palma were explained in an interesting way and brought us closer to the place, a comfortable, individualized style, punctual pick-up from the hotel, this investment was worth it. We recommend this tour with the licensed Palma Tour Guide.

The tour with our tourguide Miguel was absolutely amazing. He knows the history and culture of Mallorca extremely well and is able to communicate this knowledge in an easy and unpretentious way. We particularly enjoyed seeing the cathedral of Palma with him and getting all the insights on the beautiful artworks of Antonia Gaudi and Miguel Barcelon. The tour also showed us some of the nicest streets, squares and hidden houses in Palma de Mallorca. We can highly recommend this tour, it is absolutely worth the money!
