Spend eight hours exploring northern Mallorca with pickup from the south. Visit a traditional market, walk Alcudia’s walled Old Town, stop at Port de Pollença, and swim at Formentor Beach. Guides may speak Spanish, English, French, German, and Italian. Bring swimwear, a towel, and cash.

“Our overall experience of the day was very good, the only stressful part was at the very beginning, where we we’re staying the map you sent was not very clear at all, even the staff at the hotel were not sure, but pointed us to one possible car park, then the taxi driver had no idea where to take us ( we had to take a taxi as my mobility isn’t that great) but we guessed in the end.

2.Mallorca: Alcudia Old Town, Market, and Formentor Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 231 reviews · from $67Best value

Spend seven hours exploring Alcudia, its market, Roman ruins, and old walls before taking a boat from Pollensa Harbor to Formentor Coast. You get about an hour at Formentor Beach, then stop at Colomer's Viewpoint. Multilingual guides may include Martina, Jose, or Chris Winkler.

“The guide, Chris Winkler, was extremely impressive and has the patience of a saint as she spoke five languages to the full coach load of tourists! The saving grace being that her voice was very pleasant so the lengthy talk in languages other than English didn't get irritating. The travel agency is very lucky to have her. The day was extremely well organised and every tourist returned to the bus on time. Mallorca has some beautiful countryside scenery. Alcudia was extremely busy but we managed to visit the jam packed market, walk along the city wall, meander around the town, and visit the cathedral well within the allocated time. Very…”

3.Formentor with boat trip + local market

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 73 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $70

Spend about eight hours exploring northern Mallorca by air-conditioned coach and boat. Depending on the day and pickup area, visit Sineu or Alcudia market, stop at Mirador Es Colomer, relax at Formentor Beach, and sail to Port de Pollença. Hotel pickup, a guide, and the seasonal boat ride are included. Guides such as Sebastian and Antonio have led multilingual departures.

“An excellent way to see the north of the island if you are staying in Palma. The trip takes in Alcudia, Porta Pollensa and the beautiful Formentor. We were a little bit rushed and I would advise anyone with walking problems to think carefully about booking. My mother had difficulty keeping up with the walking from the bus to the resorts. Nevertheless, very good value for money - I would recommend this tour.”

5.Mallorca: Market Visit and Traditional Cooking Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 29 reviews · 4 hours · from $171

Meet Deborah at Palma’s Mercat de L’Olivar, sample local foods, then shop for ingredients before cooking a four-course seasonal Mallorcan meal at Forn de sa Llotgeta, an 18th-century bakery. Groups are limited to eight, and the workshop includes recipes, ingredients, two wine glasses, and lunch.

“This was an excellent experience in every way. To have a guide with deep knowledge of the island’s history, food culture, and culinary traditions started our week in Mallorca on the best footing. The market visit was incredible, followed by a few hours at Deborah’s impressive, feel-good studio. It was a beautiful space to prep, cook and dine. And Deborah is a great instructor. Afterwards, she gave us guidance on some out-of-the-way places to visit, including restaurants and museums. Her classes change with the seasonal produce. We had winter, and are looking forward to intend to another season in the future. We love this island!”
