About this tour
When Charlie from our BugBitten team took the family on this private Palma tour, the guide kept everyone — kids and adults — genuinely engaged for two hours. You'll hit the main sights: Almudaina gardens, the Arab Baths, and Olivera de Cort, but the real trick is how the guide weaves in treasure hunts and quizzes that actually make kids care about what they're seeing. It's not a rushed tick-the-box march; it's a local showing you Palma the way they know it, with a snack thrown in and entrance to the baths covered. Small groups only, and carbon neutral to boot.
Highlights
- Kids genuinely invested via treasure hunts and pop quizzes, not bored.
- Arab Baths entrance included — saves queuing separately.
- Local guide with real knowledge of Palma's history and culture.
- Private group means no competing with 30 other families for attention.
- Stroller-friendly route; infants catered for.
- Snack provided keeps energy up mid-tour.
- Hidden gems beyond the obvious postcard spots.
What to expect
The tour kicks off with your private guide meeting your family, then it's a steady two-hour walk through Palma's highlights. Charlie found the pacing works — it never felt rushed, and the guide read the room well, adjusting if kids needed a breather. The treasure hunt element genuinely engages younger minds; they're solving clues rather than just trudging behind you. At the Arab Baths, you get proper time to explore the atmospheric rooms without feeling herded.
The route deliberately avoids the worst tourist mobs, so you'll spot the real Palma that locals actually use. Stroller-friendly pathways make it accessible for littler ones, and the included snack (local produce) is a smart touch that breaks up the walking. The guide's storytelling does the heavy lifting — without it, you'd just be looking at old buildings. With it, you're learning about Mallorcan culture and history through a local lens.

Good to know
This works brilliantly if you've got kids aged 5–12 who need more than just sightseeing; the interactive elements keep them switched on. The private-group setup means your guide focuses on your family, not forty strangers. Entrance to the Arab Baths is included, which saves time and money. The carbon-neutral badge matters if that aligns with how you travel.
Two hours is tight if you're hoping for a leisurely deep dive; it's a flavour, not a feast. No hotel pickup, so you're getting yourself to the meeting point. Palma's old town involves some cobblestones, so if you've got a pram, check the specific route in advance. Peak summer heat can make walking rough with young kids — aim for early morning or late afternoon. The snack is included but may not cover all dietary preferences, so flag anything specific when booking.
Sunscreen, water, comfy shoes (yours and the kids'). Small change for ice cream if they earn it mid-tour.
