  Guide was very good but the tour only lasted just over an hour when it was advertised as two hours. Also, we nearly missed it as the booking information didn’t explain that guides would be wearing ‘City Experience’ shirts and the pick up point wasn’t exactly where we were told. We only found out when we went to ask them if they knew where our tour was five minutes before it was due to depart!

Oh and Birgit had a little surprise for us (Mallorcan traditional pastry) which was soooooo yummy! N the olive oil experience was pretty cool.

  tour was very informative and gave time for you to do things on your own. Visiting Valldemossa is a MUST DO! Very beautiful and you get to see where Chopin the composer boarded for some time (extra payment for the monastery tour). Cathedral is BREATHTAKING! Would recommend guides assist better with connecting tourists to the transportation area for travel to Valldemossa.
