Hi! My name is Albert. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History and I have been working as a Licensed Tour Guide for twelve years. I am a private guide that offers exclusive tours all over Mallorca and, specially, in its capital: Palma. Since I was a kid my passion has always been History. I am very enthusiastic for Palma because I believe my city holds one of the most important monumental sets in Europe: Palma's Old Quarter. This is why I am trying really hard what I actually love in life to be seen as a true profession by everybody. I am proud to say I am making it so far. History is my life and what I do best is taking people back to the past through our wonderful heritage. If you ever thought history was a boring thing, I will be glad to prove you could not be more wrong. I encourage you to join me and you will realize how thrilling is knowing what happenned centuries ago on the very same streets we are walking by today. - University Degree in History, ratified by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). - National Diploma in Tourist Guiding, Information and Assistance, ratified by the Government of the Balearic Islands. - Specialization in History of the Balearic Islands, ratified by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). - Official Tour Guide License, ratified by the Government of the Balearic Islands.

Overview of your Mallorca tour

If you are looking for something completely different to do in Mallorca, away from crowded beaches and tourist areas, this is the tour you are looking for without a hesitation! You have never probably thought the city of Palma is a place highly rich in traditional pastries. Some of these Mallorcan recipes appeared more than 1. 500 years ago and we still keep the original way of cooking them like a treasure we must leave to generations to come. Join me on this tour and you will be amazed by a facet of Palma you did not even imagine it could exist! You will have the opportunity to taste ensaimada, the most renown Mallorcan dessert. We will savor small pastries that Mallorcan aristocracy comissioned to the best cooks under their service 400 years ago. You will also be able to visit a stall whose owners pride themselves on being the first family in making ice cream on this island. You do not want to miss it! Tour adaptative to your taste for pastries. Send me a message for any specific request.

Meeting location

Hotel in Palma or Parc de la Mar (for cruise ship passengers): you need to take the shuttle bus from the cruise ship to the city center. The shuttle drops you off next to a breakwater called Escollera. Once you get off the bus, go towards the Cathedral (you will see it from where you are). Then, you cross the highway by the pedestrian light and you will be at Parc de la Mar already. Walk to the left as you are facing the Cathedral and the lake and you will see me by the Tourist Information Office.
