Frequently Asked Questions

What does LetzGo's Palma Cathedral, Palaces and Gardens walking tour include?

LetzGo’s Palma tour is a 2.5-hour guided walking experience through Palma’s Old Town combining reserved-access entry to the Cathedral of Palma (La Seu), exterior views of the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, and a curated route through historic squares including Plaza Mayor and Plaza de Cort. Reserved access means you skip the standard entry queue at the cathedral, where your guide interprets the Gothic architecture, soaring columns, stunning stained-glass windows, and the interior elements associated with Antoni Gaudí.

What are the highlights inside Palma Cathedral, and what is the Gaudí connection?

Inside the Cathedral of Palma, LetzGo’s tour covers the Gothic nave, the main altarpiece, and the Museum of Sacred Art housed within the cathedral itself. The Gaudí connection is one of the most surprising elements: Antoni Gaudí was commissioned to redesign the interior between 1904 and 1914, adding a monumental baldachin above the altar and repositioning the choir, interventions that created a unique collision of medieval Gothic architecture and Catalan Modernisme that exists nowhere else in the world.

How long is LetzGo's Palma walking tour, and what should I know before booking?

LetzGo’s Palma Cathedral, Palaces and Gardens walking tour lasts 2.5 hours and covers Palma’s Old Town on foot, including a stop at El Mirador for panoramic views over Palma Bay. The route includes uneven cobblestones, inclines, and stairs, so comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended. Note that the tour cannot accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, or motorised mobility devices. The experience concludes near the cathedral, leaving guests well-placed to continue exploring the old city and the Passeig des Born independently.

What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?

We offer free cancellation and free rescheduling on all bookings made more than 24 hours before your scheduled tour departure time. If your plans change, simply contact us as early as possible and we will rebook you onto another available date at no additional charge.

Cancellations or changes requested less than 24 hours before departure are not possible, and the booking will be treated as non-refundable. This policy exists because our tours operate with a limited number of guests, and last-minute cancellations prevent us from offering the spot to other travellers.

If you are booking for a group, please contact us directly before completing your booking so we can advise on availability and any group-specific arrangements.
