Getting to know Palma on foot is discovering the city as it beats today and as it has grown over the centuries. It all begins at Parc de la Mar, with the silhouette of the Cathedral over you. From there we will enter the old town, a labyrinth of narrow streets that hold stories, characters, and small details that make this city special. The route passes through spaces as representative as the gardens of s'Hort del Rei, the Almudaina Palace, the Parliament headquarters, and the Plaza de Cort, where the City Hall stands. Each stop helps to understand Palma beyond its monuments. One of the special moments of the tour comes when we enter a Mallorcan courtyard of a stately home, one of the most authentic ways to understand how the noble families of the city lived. To close the experience, you will access the interior of the Cathedral of Mallorca and the cathedral museum, where pieces that are part of the island's most valuable heritage are kept.

NOT disability friendly
Very disappointed, it is not specified how many stairs are involved in this visit, making it challenging to do with anyone who struggles walking such as the elderly or young children, should be disclosed that it is not suitable for certain groups.
Response from the operator: Thank you for raising this point. We’re sorry that the physical demands of the visit were not as clear as you expected before booking. We understand that information about stairs and walking conditions can be particularly important for guests with reduced mobility, families with young children, or anyone who may find this type of route challenging. Rather than defining the experience as unsuitable for specific groups, we believe it is important to provide sufficiently clear information so that each guest can assess whether the visit is appropriate for their own circumstances. Your feedback is therefore very useful, and we will take it into account when reviewing how the walking requirements and accessibility of the excursion are communicated in advance.

My experience with CityXperience
Yesterday, Friday, June 26, Our guide Yvan was fantastic. We toured the old town and the cathedral. Excellent in all his explanations.
Response from the operator: Une belle façon de découvrir Palma, entre les rues de la vieille ville et la visite de la Cathédrale ! 😊 Merci surtout pour cette mention spéciale à Yvan et pour avoir souligné la qualité de ses explications tout au long du parcours. Nous lui transmettrons avec plaisir votre compliment. Merci pour vos 5 étoiles ! L’équipe CityXperience

Average tour in palma
Pros - Good sightseeing around the city (old town) Visiting inside cathedral (part of tour) Cons - Crackly head phones, so couldn’t really hear the walking guide half the time. If you did it wasn’t very loud Long winded Most of the time you’re walking around the old town and not actually in the cathedral Overall okay for something to do, and if you’re interested in history.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Palma’s Old Town and the visit inside the Cathedral. We’re sorry, however, that the audio equipment made it difficult to follow the guide properly. Being able to hear the explanations clearly is essential on a walking tour, so we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we will take it into account when reviewing the equipment used. The tour is planned to dedicate a similar amount of time to the guided walk through Palma’s historic centre and to the visit inside the Cathedral. We therefore appreciate your comment that the walking part felt considerably longer, as it helps us understand how the timing of the experience can be perceived in practice. Thank you for highlighting both what you enjoyed and what could be improved. Feedback like yours helps us review the experience from the traveller’s perspective. The CityXperience team

Average
Initially, the meeting was at 8:00 AM in front of the hotel; he arrived at 8:10, not in front of the hotel as the excursion coordinator indicated. The cathedral guide, Esteban, was super nice. As for the departure guide, JAIME, it was pitiful; on the return, we had a meeting at 4:30 PM, and I waited for him since 4:15 PM in front of the cathedral, but he never showed up. I had to contact CITYEXPERIENCE; the customer service representative informed me that they did not wait for me. This is unacceptable.
Response from the operator: Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Nous sommes désolés de lire que cette journée ne s’est pas déroulée comme prévu. Comme il nous est impossible d’identifier la réservation avec les informations actuellement disponibles, nous vous invitons à nous écrire à sac@cityxperience.com en nous indiquant le numéro de réservation. Si vous ne l’avez pas, merci de nous préciser le nom de l’hôtel où vous séjourniez ainsi que la date de l’excursion. Nous serions reconnaissants de recevoir ces informations, car elles nous permettront de revoir le service en détail et de comprendre exactement ce qui s’est passé. Un salut cordial, l’équipe CityXperience

Great visit to the Palma Cathedral.
A very beautiful experience; our guide, I’m sorry I don’t remember the name, was excellent and explained everything very well during the entire visit to the cathedral, and especially had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend going there.
Response from the operator: Pas besoin de se souvenir du prénom pour garder un excellent souvenir du guide ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que ses explications et surtout son humour aient rendu votre découverte de la Cathédrale aussi agréable. Merci pour votre recommandation si enthousiaste et pour ces 5 étoiles ! L’équipe CityXperience

Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mallorca.
How much does Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h) cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mallorca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h) take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mallorca is not rushed.
Is Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mallorca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h)?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mallorca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mallorca and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mallorca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mallorca?
+
On Outty we rank every Mallorca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mallorca Full Day Tour Valldemossa Deià and Sóller Experience, Cala des Moro, S’Almunia & Best Coves, SUP & Snorkel by Van, Luxury Catamaran sailing with welcome Drinks Tapas Max10-12Person. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mallorca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h)?
+
Included: Guided tour of 90 minutes and entrance to the cathedral (according to option selected). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Guided route and visit to the Cathedral of Palma (2h)?
+
Meeting time and place: 10:50H Elevator Parking in front of the Tourist Information Office in Parc de la Mar https://www.google.com/maps/place/39.567080222327554,2.6456987857818604 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
