Free Tour of Mahón with an Official Guide in 2 Hours
Overview of the tour in Menorca
You are about to discover the capital of Menorca!
Did you know that fantastic legends run through the streets of Mahón? Or that among its mansions there are still ghosts of old merchants and corsairs that remind us that the city was sacked by Barbarossa himself in the 16th century?
Let's discover one of its most important historical moments. Remember that throughout the 18th century, Menorca was under the rule of Great Britain for more than seventy years.
We want to explore with you the vestiges of the British footprint in the city of Mahón!
We will begin our visit at Plaça de s'Esplanada to discover some of the most significant buildings of the time: Els Quarters, the Town Hall, the Principal de La Guardia, and, of course, the Governor's Palace.
Did you know that incorporating the color red to the facades as a decorative element is a frequent peculiarity in civil buildings, which has been called English colonial architecture?
And above all, do not forget to try the Gin Xoriguer, a gin made in Mahón since the 18th century. Some Mahon artisans decided to start making it since the sailors and soldiers could not find gin in the bars on the island.
This activity includes:
- Plaça Esplanada
- Ciudadela de Menorca City Hall
- Recorrido por el centro histórico de la localidad.
- Guía local acreditado.
- Seguro de responsabilidad civil.

Things to note
The crisis caused by the coronavirus has forced all businesses to transform their products and services in order to offer the highest levels of safety, responsibility and quality to their customers.
Therefore, in accordance with state and regional regulations, at Arkeo Tour® we have implemented 6 essential and mandatory measures in all our activities:
1) Our guided tours are carried out only with small groups (maximum 20 people including the guide). In this way we achieve a better organization and management of the group, and a separation of at least 2 meters between each person.
2) Our itineraries have been designed to avoid possible crowds and avoid small spaces. In addition, they are one-way routes to avoid crossing paths with other groups. Our guides coordinate live to share information on less crowded itineraries.
3) All our guides have been trained in the prevention of health risks and the fight against the coronavirus. The person in charge of the guides and the person in charge of customer service make up the Arkeo Tour® risk management committee and carry out daily monitoring of the security measures.
4) In all our guided tours we use voice transmission and amplification equipment. In this way we guarantee the highest quality in the explanations of the guide and we can maintain the safety distance between the members of the group.
5) Our team uses approved masks in all our activities and daily control of the temperature of each of the guides is carried out. Likewise, we will have hydroalcoholic gel for the use of all our users.
6) We have completely digitized the reservation service, thus avoiding the transfer of documents. The reservation confirmation can be downloaded from any mobile phone to show the guide at the beginning of the visit. The sending of brochures and information is now also done completely electronically.
