      BIKE & YOGA ADVENTURE exceeded all expectations!
      From start to finish, everything was simply exceptional. Our guide, DiZsa, was not only incredibly kind, friendly, and fun, but she also infused the tour with unique touches like aroma therapy and sound therapy, making the experience truly unforgettable. The yoga session at the end was a perfect way to unwind. Throughout the tour, we were entertained and enlightened about Palma in the most delightful way, ensuring we had a blast. Thank you, DiZsa, for your wonderful energy and for making our morning so beautiful.

      Beautiful and Informative tour of Palma!
      We had a group tour with Valentin and it was great! He was very friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable! He brought us to very beautiful and interesting places, and gave very detailed and fascinating descriptions about them. We loved every minute of the tour and would absolutely do it again!

      Most enjoyable, scenic, and educational tour
      We booked a bicycle tour of Palma de Mallorca through our cruise line. We scored Palma Bicycle Tours! Jackie was our guide, and she provided our small group of about 12 cyclists the best ever excursion experience! We made several stops at key spots to take photos, and to listen to Jackie's thorough and interesting narrative! One of the many interesting encounters was transacting with the cloistered nuns by purchasing baked cookies (out of this world) via an archaic lazy Susan type device designed to allow the nuns to remain unseen! The baked goods alone are reason enough to visit! The bikes, Specialized brand, were well-worn and also well-maintained, and easy to ride! Navigating the streets of Palma allowed us to cover a lot of ground in a charming setting! Be sure to use your bicycle bell to alert pedestrians as you ride alongside them, and as you approach tight turns and intersections in some of those narrow cobble stone streets! Jackie took her time, and it was easy to keep up! Highly recommend Palma Bicycle Tours, and Jackie!

      Cruise ship excursion "Biking in Palma" October 2023
      Yesterday we did the Biking in Palma excursion while sailing on RCL Symphony of the Seas. Our guide was Jackie, and she was excellent. Jackie took our group along the marina to the Cathedral. The riding pace was very relaxed but good. We stopped at the convent where cloistered nuns sell cookies and cakes through a rotating turnstile. This preserves their vow of silence. The ride stopped for a refreshment break later, and then we stopped at the main square before returning to the port. Bikes were in reasonable good condition, helmets not required. All in all a great value and wonderful trip.

      An excellent way to see the marina, old town and key buildings in Palma. Valentine was an excellent guide: knowledgeable engaging funny charming and helpful. He skilfully managed the tour to keep away from crowds as much as possible. One of the best tours Ange and I have ever done. Highly recommended.

      Outstanding Overview Touring highlights of Palma de Mallorca
      Had an amazing bike tour with Valentino w/Palma de Mallorca. Took this tour via our cruise excursion and was pleasantly surprised! Valentino was excellent providing interesting insights to the locations we visited. Thoroughly enjoyed the bike tour because of him. Well done and highly recommend!

      Not my favorite tour
      We tend to book a private tour rather than through the cruise ship however this time we picked wrong. We arrived early to the designated meeting point (bike shop) and then had to wait. In the meantime, a group from our cruise ship arrived , bikes/helmets were distributed and they were on their way. We then got our two bikes ( the tires needed to be filled ) but there was not a helmet for me, so our guide Jackie, very nicely offered hers. We were unaware that we would then have to ride to the other bike shop to pick up other riders and a helmet for me. By the time we rode to the other bike shop and got those riders ready, it was 45 minutes later than the start of our tour. Palma de Mallorca is a lovely place. For me, I would just say that I found the bike tour stressful. The bike lanes, when there were some along the waterfront, were extremely narrow with other cyclists coming at you in the other direction. The streets were often crowded with people and cars, making us often having to walk our bikes through busy sections. I lost sight of the group more than once. With all this, I found it hard to enjoy my surroundings. I did enjoy stopping at the nun cloister and buying the cookies. At another point we were meandering through small winding alleys and I noticed that my husband and several others were no longer behind me. But since there were so many turns, I chose to stay with the group so I didn't get lost or separated from the guide. After yelling ahead for them to stop, Jackie went back to find the other part of the group, one of their chains had come off the bike. I am comfortable on a bike but I did not find this the most enjoyable way to see the city, but maybe that is just me. It is not a tour I would do again in a busy city.

    Palma de Mallorca was our 1st port during our cruise (Celebrity Infinity). We booked 7 tours throughout our trip and this was the only one that was disappointing. While the town was beautiful, our tour guide, Elizabeth, was not at all professional. She did take us to all of the obligatory stops, but that was the vibe that she exuded - it was her obligation to take us on this tour. She kept a fast pace, rarely looking behind her to make sure the group was together. It should have been our first clue when she approached the first street crossing and she proceeded across as the light was turning, leaving the entire group on the other side. As we biked along, if you happened to be up front, you could hear the information that she was providing- otherwise you were not able to hear anything. At the various stops, she did provide a brief history. During our tapas experience, she choose to sit alone outside, providing no explanation of what we were eating. After leaving the main square, she quickly took off, maneuvering through the crowd rarely looking back. At one point, one couple, along with myself, got separated from the group. We had no way to contact her or anyone in the group, so we attempted to find them by exploring different streets. We were not successful, but finally one of the group members, (not the guide), came back and stood on a street corner, waiving us down. On the trail back along the waterfront, one of our friends fell and the chain came off her bike. Elizabeth seemed annoyed at having to wait, yet again. The trails along the waterfront were very narrow and crowded. Perhaps an earlier start time would have lessened the crowds. Also, one of the bikes had very low air pressure, but no attempt was made to correct it. Overall, it was a beautiful town, but a disappointing tour.

    We’ve made a habit of doing cycle tours at each city we visit on holiday - it’s a great way of getting your bearings and seeing when you might like to go back to later on. This is one of the best! Jacqui had a soft North East accent and was a joy to be around. Great anecdotes and easy history guide! Highly recommend!

    Yesterday (14th August 2023) we enjoyed a fabulous tour of Palma led by an amazing tour guide Caroline! Being from the Netherlands, this was her first tour delivered in English and it was faultless. She was enthusiastic, entertaining, professional and highly informative. We were shown sights we would never have managed to locate without the tour and had a lovely lunch at a local tapas bar. I cannot recommend this tour enough, we are a family of four and everyone loved it. Thank you Palma Bicycle Tours and a special thank you to Caroline.

    Valentin was incredible! Ultimate professional. We loved this tour so much. Made the mistake of booking with the cruise. Not necessary-you can walk to their bike shop from the cruise port and pay much less.

    Incredible tour: randomly King and Queen of Spain were visiting so we saw the changing of the guard. Loved how flexible he was to allow us to see such a rare event. Then a couple actually got engaged! Bonus. A trip we will never forget!

    We really enjoyed cycling along the sea front and the beautiful old town in Palma. The tapas were very tasty and went down well.
    For someone who hasn’t cycled in a while it is a bit challenging as some of the streets in the old town were very narrow and crowded.

    Valentin was an excellent guide on this easy going tour around Palma old town. The balance of information, activity, and humour was perfect. We got some great recommendations for places to try during our stay, as well as learning interesting history. I went as a solo rider and you don’t feel awkward or left out at all, as you’re basically cycling or listening the whole time. Highly recommended, especially towards the start of your trip to get your bearings. Didn’t do the tapas bit, so can’t comment on that.

    We had the fortune to experience this guided tour with Valentin who made our day! Such great tour with stop for traditional tapas and sangria in the old town and plaza mayor. Guide Valentin did great explanations with exciting details and passion of his job and in Palma de Mallorca, always with a smile. Can’t recommend enough, we will be back.

    Less than 4 hours before the tour, the tour was cancelled with no reason given. I reached out to the hosts (because minutes prior to the cancellation I had received a confirmation email) and heard nothing back. I thought this was very unprofessional. I also will note that this is the second floor tour in Palma that was cancelled so just be aware of this if you are booking food tours on Mallorca.

    The tour was part of Sum Princess’s excursion options. Valentin was excellent, he was knowledgeable and kept the group together and safe. We were able to go through narrow streets not available on a bus tour. His knowledge of the history of Mallorca was extensive.
