Hola! I’m Raquel, and I’d love to show you the many wonders of this beautiful island. I’ve been working as a tour guide for over 20 years, and I still enjoy it just as much as when I started. Guiding isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. Over the years, it has given me unforgettable experiences and allowed me to grow not only as a professional but also as a person. My love for languages, travel, art, and history began early in life. I’ve always been curious and enthusiastic, with a natural passion for storytelling. As a child, I even organized little “tours” for my friends in the local park, proudly pointing out ant nests and tiny creatures I had learned about from my grandfather’s old Larousse encyclopedia. That same curiosity has taken me around the world. I’ve traveled widely across Europe and overseas, including Costa Rica, Australia, Indonesia, and Japan, and I’ve lived and worked as a licensed tour guide in Italy and the United Kingdom. Along the way, I’ve had the pleasure of working with guests from many different cultures, which has taught me to be flexible, open-minded, and attentive to individual needs. I love being a modern-day Cicerone, helping people truly connect with a place through stories, shared experiences, and genuine moments. I’m always happy to tailor my tours to your interests, and I’m glad to help with travel arrangements or answer any questions you may have—even if they’re not directly related to a tour. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I hope to welcome you very soon to Mallorca!

Raquel was an amazing guide. We were a group of 10 friends. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She gave us great information about things beyond the tour.
