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.

Excellent Guide and Tour with Tons of Value!! - Given the very reasonable price for this tour (as compared to others’ ridiculous expense for even larger groups), I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this tour was amazing. Our guide, Eulalia, a young and studied historian from Mallorca was full of knowledge, enthusiasm, and good humor. There was just five of us and she had much to share both inside the Cathedral and beyond, including many reference pictures to help “your imagination”. The Cathedral is breathtaking inside and the skip-the-line tickets got us in fast. While this was a 2.5 hr. walking tour, there were several stopping points where we could sit and rest our feet while Eualia shared the history and architectural details. Highly recommend!

So much more than just the cathedral! - Eulàlia was an amazing tour guide — she was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much we’d never have known walking around on our own! She even had a lot of reference materials along to show us. It was SO much more than just the cathedral!
