Palma And Valldemossa Highlights
Stroll through the peaceful streets of Palma where you will discover the rich heritage of its buildings, then travel to Valldemossa and be transported back in time when you explore a village steeped in old-world charm.
Rising from the sparkling waters, be introduced to the Badia de Palma, a city made of honey-colored stone. This enduring city dates to the 13th-century Christian reconquest of the island, and the Moors, Romans and Talayotic people before that.
Begin your tour walking the teeming public squares, palaces, courtyards, and gardens of Palma. Find crooked, medieval streets lined with aristocratic townhouses, looming baroque churches, vibrant bohemian neighborhoods and markets overflowing with all the bounty of the island.
See the famous Cathedral, La Lonja, Almudaina Palace and enjoy the most beautiful panoramic view of the city from the Bellver Castle.
Travel to Valldemossa, which is only a 30-minute drive from Palma, nestled in the mountains on the western part of the island. A village steeped in old-world charm, Valldemossa lies in an idyllic valley in the middle of the Tramuntana Mountains. The ancient blonde stone houses are a contrast against the picturesque surrounding green of olive, oak and almond trees.
This small, quiet village is a jumbled mix of cobbled lanes and houses, making it a place that has always been an ideal setting for writers and music composers seeking inspiration. Frederic Chopin and George Sand spent time in Valldemossa's Carthusian Monastery with its beautiful gardens. A mini piano concert in the Palace of the King takes place every hour and is optional with a fee.
Also, on this full-day tour, you will have a chance to get to the Son Marroig panoramic view-point in the west coast before heading back to your ship.
Please Note: The admission fee for the concert is 8 Euro per person and an additional 6 Euro per person would be required for the Cathedral if you wish to go inside (optional).

Shore Excursions Group was created with one goal in mind: to provide exceptional travel experiences to cruise passengers in the ports they visit around the world. To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours.

We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction.

We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.
Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world. These tours generally range in size from 2-12 people compared to larger tours which can number up to 50 people. While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.
