Fantastic Palma Experience - Carlos was an absolutely fantastic guide thru Palma & the Cathedral. He was very informative as he took us all over the city. We really appreciated all the pictures and maps that he shared. It added to the overall informative experience. Carlos was also great fun! We felt as though we had an extremely thorough tour of Palma, and one that was enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.

Great cathedral, unique experience, magical place! - After 8 years of Mallorca, we managed to visit the Cathedral of Palma and Palma city for the first time. An extraordinary structure, beautiful me details—inside and out. Tickets bookable online, in front of the entrance are signs with QR codes. That's where his time slots met. Insider tip: in sunshine around 11am to the cathedral...the colorful church window forms a beautiful color pattern inside on the benches and allows great photo motifs. Magic Moments…:)

Should you make and yet belongs to a malle visit - This is a must for Palma. Ticktes completely unproblematic via online or directly at the checkout next to it. The ascent to the observation terrace costs extra, which should be considered when booking. Please pay attention to the clothing (see info on the Website). Inside, you should take your time, maybe an hour, because it is an impressive building. Afterwards a few photos before on the stairs or/and a hop on/off city tour. Worth it too; station is right next to it. If you arrive by rental car, it is best to park for 5 €! all day in the Sa Riera car park and walk there for about 25 minutes by means of Google maps, also coming through significant streets of the city.

Catherderal Trip - Visited the beautiful Catherdal of Palma. Skip the queues worked well. The interior of the Cathedral was as stunning as the exterior. Beautiful stained glass windows all around. Highly recommend a visit to the city of Palma. All the top shops. Couple of other churches. Lots of little places to sit & people watch.

Great informative tour around the cathedral and old town - Beautiful informative walk in the center or sunny Palma ☀️ The tourguide shared much information about the Cathedral, its history architecture. We continued walking through the cute, narrow streets of the old town and stopped at Maria's favorite bakery and restaurants which she recommended to try if we had the time after. Lovely tour, thank you!

Breathtaking architecture and views of Palma - Had a great couple of hours exploring the cathedral which is so beautiful inside. It is worth paying the extra to go up to the roof terraces (lots of steps to climb) as there are amazing views of Palma. You can appreciate how big the rose stain glass window is when you can stand next to it on the roof. We were allowed to stay on the terrace for 30 - 45 minutes so plenty of time to take in the views and take photos. You have to buy tickets on line, which can be done at the cathedral where a QR code is displayed at the entrance. Visits to the roof terrace is with a timed entry. Highly recommended.
