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

Enjoy an intimate lunch experience and taste the authentic local cuisine. On this edible journey, I will take you through Palma's culinary history while tasting what the locals love most about their traditional dishes. We'll begin in Palma's colorful central market where the locals gather to buy fresh produce, fish, and meats. Join the locals, pull up to the bar, and have some tapas with one of Spain's favorite drinks. We'll venture out onto hidden streets and in and out of the city's iconic bars, restaurants, and bakeries. Meals are accompanied with wine from nearby vineyards, Spanish vermouth, and hierbas, Mallorca's favorite after meal liqueur. So come with me and let me guide you through the colors and sounds of the market, meet local vendors, hear their stories and the history and culture of each dish you're tasting. Are you ready to join me?
