Originally from Southern California, I have lived on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca (Majorca) since 1994. I consider myself a local and enjoy showing visitors what I love about Mallorca as though they were my family or best friends. My specialty is visiting the unknown Mallorca, off the beaten path, away from tourist traps. My tours offer more than the usual mass tourism sites, museums, and monuments. I concentrate on a local experience, emphasizing the people, the food, and the smaller places to find hidden treasures for unique experiences and powerful interactions. As I've traveled through Europe, I've noticed that many visitors, especially first-time visitors, don't have the chance to travel outside the capital cities. Come with me to visit Mallorca's specialty wineries, its picturesque markets, beautiful beaches, and coves. Slow down and enjoy my signature tour, "Made in Mallorca. " Visit the workshops of the island's artisans and learn the process of how handcrafted a master luthier makes concert and flamenco guitars. The workshops of contemporary and traditional ceramicists, glassmakers, shoemakers, and many more are open to you. If food and wine are more to your liking, you'll be surprised to know that the island has over 100 wineries! Let's visit a few and pair the wine with a traditional Mallorcan lunch. Visit an olive grove and taste extra virgin olive oil after being pressed. Meet the locals! Much has happened in Mallorca, and it is reflected in the sites, the food, and in the faces of the islanders. This is the Mallorca I would like to show you. Since starting with ToursByLocals in 2012, I've worked closely with US travel agencies, destination management companies, luxury hotels, and cruise ships to show the best of Mallorca to their clients. ** All tours can be customized, and more people can be added to the tours.

Overview of your Mallorca tour

One of my favorite excursions and a favorite with guests since we visit one of the most beautiful spots in Mallorca. Leaving Palma behind, we'll head north to visit an ancient Arab estate that offers an excellent insight into how a rural farm was run in the 10th century. On to Soller, a unique Mediterranean town with French influences. Time to mix with the locals, visit the town shoemaker, and taste homemade "sobrasada" and artisan ice cream made with locally grown lemons or oranges. Let me show you some of my favorite spots in town! A visit to Soller wouldn't be complete without taking in Can Prunera, one of Soller's Modernist jewels. We'll drive along the Mediterranean coast to the village of Deià, which remains a magnet for artists and writers. On our return and time permitting, we can visit the town of Valldemossa. **If visiting from mid-October, we can take in an olive press and see how extra virgin olive oil is made.

Gina is an excellent guide! We spent a fabulous day with her. She took us to the areas around Palma. She took us to places that were off the beaten path that we would never have found on our own. Gina thoughtfully explained the history of the island, and the different peoples who have ruled and populated it and gave us context to understand present-day Mallorca. She is knowledgeable and thorough. We would highly recommend using Gina. We enjoyed our time with her and know that you will, too!

Gina was very professional, personable, & informative with the history and development of the area around the Cathedral, an absolutely magnificent place! Then a drive into the countryside to a Vineyard for wine tasting and lunch at an absolutely gorgeous site. We were impressed with the information shared and the passion exhibited by our winery hostess! (My husband has taught wine classes for over 40 yrs). Lunch included local foods: cheeses, meats, breads with 6/7 delicious wines, an excellent day!

Definitely 5 stars! I love Tours by Locals because of tour guides like Gina. She even took us to church, as it was a Sunday, and waited for us. We got to see the 'off the beaten path' Spain. If I could post pictures, you'd definitely take this tour. Such unique history. Amazing!

Our tour was changed due to the national celebration of All Saint's Day. It was still wonderful and interesting. Gina was very knowledgeable.
