Bilbao Tours

"Sam had fabulous English and was very knowledgeable about Bilbao and Basque history. We were very lucky as tourism had not yet picked up so we had Sam all to ourselves for the tour. He was very easy to talk to and he brought the City to life for us. Very interesting 3 hours with him."

"We loved our bike tour through Bilbao with Miguel. He knows a lot about the city, the region and the culture and was open to answering any questions we had. We learnt a lot, saw different parts and landscapes of Bilbao and really enjoyed the company. We highly recommend!"

"Our tour guide is very professional and it’s nice to pick us up from hotel. Overall spent 5 hrs to see those amazing scenery around Bilbao is great!"

"Santiago was the most informative tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and even provided interesting insider information. This tour was totally worth it and highly recommend!"

"Excelent company and explanation from our guide Yon Ander. The girls at the two wineries we visited were grate!"

"Personality of our guide and her knowledge and great history lesson. Good fun and as we say in Ireland good craic."

"Great tour! Stefan was a great guide. I went in November 2021. Because of Covid we couldn’t go to the French side, no Bearritz and no Saint Jean Dr Luz. I actually liked it that we could spend more time in Hondarribia and San Sebastián. We also went to Getaria. Although it was short and rainy, I was happy we went because it was the filming location of the movie Spanish Affair. Stefan suggested the movie Spanish Affair to us. When I watched it after the tour I was delighted to see how many specific details about the Basque Country I could pick up. I highly recommend you seeing the movie after the tour. And do learn some Basque phrases. It’s fun! Kaixo means Hello Agur means bye Eskerrik asko means thank you Couple of tips: 1. Wear layers. It could be very cold especially along the coast. 2. Do try out different Pintxo bars in San Sebastián. I recommend the dish served in a crab’s shell. I don’t know what it was called but it was delicious. I saw at least two places serving it and both times it was great. The name of the Pintxo bars are Casa Alcade and Baztan 3. Don’t be afraid of the crowd in front of the bar. There is no line. Simply grab a ordering sheet with numbers, survey the offering in the bar, and pick your dish. Alternatively you can order Pintxo Caliente from the black board"

"Javier was excellent. Passionate, informative and gave us a generous amount of time to ask questions and look and the art. Top notch...thanks for making our trip to Bilbao memorable"

"This was a great wine tour! We visited Marques de Riscal and a family owned vineyard with our guide Zak. He is well informed and we had a great day all in all! Thank you Zak!"

"It was a great tour with a knowledgeable guide. He not only showed us the listed destinations but also drive us to some additional photo stops and recommended some places for lunch."

"Learning the history and being able to ask questions. The enthusiasm of the guide. Everything is timed very well."

"We had a very good time on the tour. There were only four of us so the guide was able to give personal time to all. The town of Laguarida was wonderful to explore."

"We had a great guide called Laiene who was very knowledgable and friendly and we really learned a lot of information about Bilbao and saw places we wouldn’t have seen .we would really recommend doing this tour on your first day as it helps to put everything into context"

"The tour was superb. Irene led us on a delicious journey across Bilbao. The food and wine was excellent. She was so interesting and informative. I would thoroughly recommend her tour."

"Our tour guide, Joe, was fantastic. He was very informative about the area and had a plan to take us to various areas along the Basque coast; however, he was flexible with the timing and the places we visited based on requests within the group. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip through Spain and definitely recommend."

"The tour of San Sebastian and the Basque Coast was great. Zach was knowledgeable and accommodating and knew the right places to go for a quick day of sightseeing (and eating!). Highly recommend."

"Irene, the cooking instructor is a gem! She grew up in Bilbao, gave us a short tour then went to her villa for the hands on cooking class. She paired each pintxos with wine. Irene makes you feel like family. Wonderful way to spend the afternoon! Highly recommend this class."
