Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Mallorca's tapas tradition started with La Crisis (Spain’s 2008 financial crisis), when a lot of people in Palma did not have much money. The bars were empty during the week. So, to boost business, the local bar owners of Palma met and came up with the "Ruta Martiana". The concept: affordable prices and one drink included with an order of tapas. From that moment, they never stopped the Ruta Martiana tradition on Tuesday evenings, and today you’ll find those once-empty bars filled with locals. But because we think tapas are great every night, we’re extending the tradition beyond just Tuesdays!
Throughout the evening on tapas nights, little bars offer up delectable tapas and pinchos (a slice of bread with vegetables, fish, or meat on top), paired up with a tasty glass of Spanish wine or ice-cold beer. But the Ruta Martiana symbolises more than just eating and drinking. It signifies meeting old and new friends, checking out different bars, and sitting on lovely terraces — as well as eating delicious local food, of course! It is the most beloved Spanish dinner ritual, and you can’t come to Mallorca without trying it!
On this very special and private Mallorca tapas tour, you will have a local guide all to yourself so you can guarantee that all your questions about the island will be answered! We’ll walk the narrow streets of the old city centre to find the best tapas bars of Palma. Each bar has its own speciality, and we won’t stop until we’ve tasted the best of each place! Want to try the biggest tortilla in Mallorca? Or maybe taste some authentic Spanish jamón? Or how about a few divine fresh fish pinchos? The grilled rib lambs are perfection, too, so don’t forget those! For each tapas you order, you can choose a glass of local wine, cold beer, or soft drink.
Too overwhelmed with choice? No worries, you can ask your guide for some recommendations to help you make the most delicious decision!
