About this experience
Discover the most famous places of interest in Palma de Mallorca during a guided city tour of 90 minutes. Admire the cathedral, take a look at the imposing Almudaina Palace, discover the most important monuments and the narrow streets and enjoy the typical atmosphere of one of Spain's most historic old quarters. We offer two tour times: 11:30 13:30 — this slot is ideal, as the Old Town is quieter and the Cathedral less crowded. Recommended for a more relaxed experience and to avoid peak-hour crowds.

S'Hort del Rei
We will continue to discover the "Old Town" of Palma walking through these beautyful gardens! "S´hort del Rei" which transaltes to "The Kings Gardens" located under the Almudaina Palace. In the 14th century this area had restricted access, and was full of fruit trees, plants, vegetables and colourful flowers. The current garden was renovated in the 1960s by the architect Gabriel Alomar. Alomar based the renovation of this space on traditional Andalusian gardens. Today the garden has cypresses, fountains and a large pond. Take advantage of the great photo opportunity here and capture some images to last a lifetime!

Catedral de Mallorca
Once we come down from the walls we will stop for photos outside Palma Cathedral (La Seu), and hear how the Roman Catholic place of worship was built on the site of an old Arabian mosque. Then, head inside to admire its circular, stained-glass windows and Gaudi-designed features. The colorful, and often controversial, Modernist artist left his mark on the site, and his eye-catching altarpiece is thought to be the cathedral’s highlight. Since you are on our private guided tour you don´t need to wait in any long queues that accumulate at the cathedral (very long!).
45 minutes here · Admission included
Palau de l'Almudaina
Once we have finished the tour of the beautiful cathedral, you will be able to admire the beauty of The Royal Palace of La Almudaina, which dates back to the 14th century. It is the official residence of Their Majesties the King and Queen during their stays in Mallorca. Together with Palma Cathedral, they constitute a landmark of the capital of the Balearic Islands. A palace that reflects the artistic styles that have followed one another throughout the island's history.

Some of the most outstanding elements on its façade are the balcony with seven large windows, the Rellotge d'en Figuera (Figuera Clock) and the Banc del si no fos (Bank of if you don't miss it). The building itself was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasure by decree of 3 June 1931.

While you´re taking in the breathtaking views of Palma Old Town and the historic architecture, keep an eye out for The Cort olive tree! This unique tree, known as the Olivera de Cort, was planted in 1999 from Tramuntana mountain range, as a symbol of peace and rootedness to the land. The Cort Olive Tree is located in the middle of the square, right in front of the town hall. Despite the move and its age, it continues to bear fruit every year.

Can Forteza Rey
This one is for the Art lovers! A must-see building, due to its characteristics. The stylistic decoration of the façade right through to the interior design, shows a strong influence of Catalan modernism, especially some of Gaudí's work - take in all it´s glory and get the camera out to be able to cherish these moments forever!

Informative tour.
Very informative tour with our guide Juan. He was also very concerned to make sure everything was alright with our group due to the very hot temperatures.

We're especially pleased that you noticed his care for the group during the very hot weather.

Walking tour
Not quite the tour we were expecting. Basically a slow walk to the cathedral not much about palma or the old town really should be called guide to cathedral entrance
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the tour was not what you expected, but we would like to clarify that this is certainly not simply a “slow walk to the Cathedral”. The tour takes you through Palma’s historic Old Town, with explanations about its history, architecture, monuments and local stories along the way, before continuing inside the Cathedral with skip-the-line entrance. Our guides deliberately make several stops throughout the Old Town to explain what guests are seeing rather than simply walking from one place to another. The Cathedral is one of the main highlights, but it is only part of the experience. We appreciate that you may have expected a different type of tour, but describing it as merely a “guide to cathedral entrance” does not accurately represent the itinerary or the experience provided.

Wonderful and concise way to see Palma and Cathedral!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🏛️⛪😊 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering Palma's Old Town and its magnificent Cathedral with Jeannine. Finding the right balance between history, local stories and free time is exactly what we aim for, so it's fantastic to know the pace and amount of information were just right for you. A special thank you for your kind words about Jeannine. We'll be sure to pass them on—she'll be delighted to know she helped make your visit to Palma such an enjoyable experience. Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Mallorca! 💙🌴

Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mallorca.
How much does Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour 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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 56 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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour?
+
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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour 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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour?
+
Around 20 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 Mallorca Old Town Walking Tour with Cathedral Skip The Line Tour 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, Best Mallorca Coves: Paddle Surf, Snorkeling and Guide, 3 Hours E-Bike Tour in Palma. 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.
