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 boasts an enviable handicraft culture that has endured thanks to the proud local craftsmen and women that keep the old craft-making traditions alive.
On your shopping tour, we’ll visit a number of stores that have been around for over 100 years, many of which are still family-owned and operated and specialise in unique goods made right here in Mallorca.
Our first stop will be in the atmospheric Jewish neighbourhood, where we will visit a pearl shop and learn why Mallorcan pearls are so popular.
Our discovery of local products continues with a stop to appreciate the many varieties of traditional baskets and other delightful wicker products that are all made locally.
As we stroll through the narrow old streets we will arrive at a footwear store to learn about the different types of shoes of the Balearic Islands, their history and their traditional use.
From there we’ll visit a pottery shop where you will discover the pots, pans, casseroles, fruit platters, hot pots, oil bottles, jars, jugs, and ladles, all made with earth in the charming village of Pòrtol, at a factory that has been run by the same family for five generations.
A journey through the most famous products of Mallorca would not be complete without a food experience! We will stop at one of the oldest bakeries in town where you will taste the famous llonguet, the Mallorcan sandwich made with sobrassada or cheese.
After our Made in Mallorca tour ends, don’t forget to ask your local guide for tips on which restaurants to visit and which secret local spots to discover.
Please note that this itinerary is subject to change. As most of the shops we visit are small, family-owned businesses, they sometimes unexpectedly close or alter their hours for the day. In such a case, we'll visit other nearby shops or attractions that still keep with the theme and essence of the tour.
