Palma is a city bursting with ancient history and modern culture. Take a self-guided audio walk with Sandra, a longtime resident, to find out what stories and anecdotes its streets have to tell.

Starting in the majestic Parc de la Mar, you’ll trace the path of history from the ancient Talayotic culture through the Spanish Inquisition and the elegance of old Palma to end the walk in the vibrant Plaça de Cort. Along the way, you’ll explore the city’s churches, bars and gorgeous courtyards.

The tour is ready whenever you are. It plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline. Start the tour in the app, put your phone in your pocket, and let Sandra direct you through the streets.

The total walking distance is 2km and takes about an hour without stopping, but you can pause anytime! There are lots of bars and restaurants along the way for a quick stop – or a long one!

I used the Voice Map audio guide on the Palma's Alternative History Tour.

I found that this innovative App was an excellent way to do the tour at a time and pace that I wanted. The Voice Map guide gave me a very helpful and informative insight into Palma’s history.

I highly recommend this App and its guided tours and I will definitely check out what guides are available in other cities that I visit.

We arrived in Palma with an open itinerary so looked online for activities and this caught our eye. Its great that you get to go at your own pace and can break off when you want to explore any of the areas more. We definitely saw things we would have missed if we hadn't done the self guided walk. After seeing the Palace we went back another day to do the tour. Will definitely look out for these again in other cities.

This was a really good introduction to the city of Palma. Unfortunately we were there on a Sunday, meaning some is the main points of interest were closed so chose the day you visit carefully.
I would definitely recommend this type of tour, we went at our own pace and paused when we wanted.

Excellent way to discover a town. The pace was great, the explanations helpful, I will look around for other cities as you can also do it from home. Totally worth it! This is my new way of exploring cities.

The experience was smooth and very interesting! From small fun facts of each place to more general history of the city. We will definitely do it again in other cities. The autonomy and privacy it allows is much better than to be in a group tour (and excellent value for money). 100% recommend.

Maybe I'm just too old! 80. I couldn't find the starting place and couldn't work the voice map. So I won't be trying this again.

Very happy with this experience! Was accompanying my mother with reduced mobility and this was something we were able to do at our own pace as opposed to a traditional walking tour where we would have been left behind. Both of us found the content extremely interesting and the route was easy to follow. Excellent value for money. Will definitely look into these self-guided tours on future holidays. Thank you!
