You might begin by the lake at Parc de la Mar, facing Palma’s Gothic Cathedral. Here your host sets the tone and answers first questions from getting around to how locals spend their days. Some guests linger in the view, others move quickly into the city.

Bearings at Plaça Major

Get your bearings in Palma’s main square.

Your host could guide you into the heart of the Old Town at Plaça Major. Some guests pause here to understand how Palma’s neighborhoods connect, while others prefer a quick overview before continuing into surrounding streets.

Everyday Life at Mercat de l’Olivar

Step into Palma’s bustling daily market.

You might walk through Mercat de l’Olivar, where locals shop for fish, produce, and daily staples. Some guests choose to pause and learn how locals eat, order coffee, or shop; others simply take in the atmosphere before moving on.

La Rambla and Side Streets

Follow your interests through leafy boulevards or hidden alleys.

At this stage, your host adapts. Some guests choose cultural details like churches or façades. Others prefer lifestyle cues like boutiques and cafés along La Rambla. The walk flexes to your curiosity, never feeling rushed or rigid.

Ending at Plaça de Cort

Finish with bearings for your next days.

You might close at Plaça de Cort, with its town hall and olive tree. Some guests use this spot to recap practical tips and plan the days ahead, while others pause briefly before heading back into Palma’s Old Town with new confidence.

What travelers think of our Spain experiences

Pamela Sep 2025

The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the food experience great. Pam

Robert Sep 2025

Largely focuses on the Gothic Quarter, but provides a great introduction to Barcelona City. It is two hours of constant walking.

Maryanne Sep 2025

Great way to get oriented to a new city and learn fun facts. Patricia was able to answer our many questions.

Mike Sep 2025

Johnathan showed us everything he could with the limited time he had. Walking with him was like walking with an old friend who is showing you around the new neighbor you just moved into. Great sights to see! Great little spots to check out! I’d love to spend a weekend in Barcelona just to see what else he’s got!

Lawrence Sep 2025

Nicole was very patient. We delt with rain most of afternoon and he was still able to maneuver the city and provide just the right amount of history and background.

Marcia Sep 2025

We had a wonderful tour with Lisa around Madrid! She customized it according to our wants and preferences and showed us places and points of interest we would not have gone to on our own. Lisa is very personable and easy to talk to. She made us feel at home in a city we’ve never been to before. I highly recommend this tour!! 5 stars!!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
