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. Add or delete elements as you like. Just message me with your ideas, and I will help you to create a memorable visit. UCLA Graduate in Fine Arts & Design Professional Degree in Guiding, Assistance, and Tourist Information Official Tour Guide License GTOIB - 2204 I've worked in advertising and as a writer contributing articles about Mallorca's cultural and gastronomy scene for Finest Addresses Mallorca, the US-based Cuisine Noir Magazine, The Culinary Scoop, the Nile Guide, and as founding editor and journalist for Mallorca Golf&Go!

Palma goes better with wine! We'll delve into the city's past, discovering its secret corners and the island's wine culture. Mallorca has over 90 wineries, and it is impossible to visit them all, so we've put together the best of the island's wines and an introduction to its treasure of native grapes, all in one place and without leaving Palma! Ever heard of Callet, Manto Negro, Fogoneu, or Gorgollosa grapes? We'll taste the final product and discover what makes Mallorca's wines so unique with our fun and entertaining wine expert in a cool bodega surrounded by over 600 local, classic, and international wines.

If arriving for the day on a cruise ship, we will meet up in Plaza de La Lonja. Private transportation can be included upon request. During the first 3 hours, we will: - Stroll through Palma's historic streets. - Discover its secret corners. - If visiting in the morning, we can include a stop at the city's indoor fish, produce, cheese, and ham market. (Market closes at 2:30 pm) After the walking tour of Palma, it will be time to try some wine. - We will head over to my favorite urban winery to taste a selection of 3-4 wines. - The bodega visit lasts approximately 1 hour. * Winetasting is for those 18 years and over. Children and non-drinkers are welcome on this tour. I would happily entertain the kids by taking them to Palma's oldest ice cream parlor, shopping, or other sites during the wine tasting. * This tour can be customized to your interests.
