Bilbao Tours

"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."

"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."

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

"Santiago, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! We had a private tour due to my husband’s walking disability. Santiago was waiting for us at the Puppy. He was so knowledgeable about the artists and structure of the building. His many interesting anecdotes about the structures, art, and artists made the tour very memorable. Our tour was supposed to be an hour and a half but Santiago did not rush us and we spent a full 2 hours with him."

"We had a really fantastic tour around Bilbao. Our tour guide Johan was fantastic…..very knowledgeable , attentive and very proud of his city. The bikes were a great way to get around. We will definitely be returning to Bilbao and will hire bikes again."

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

"We were met by our driver at the airport. Our drive to San Sebastian was very nice. The scenery was interesting with some clouds over the hills. Thank you!"

"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."

"I had a great overview of the Basque history from Gernika and the daily lives of the locals. A glimpse into the historical houses of the aristocrats was a great add on and the Butron castle. The ride and the several stops along the Basque coast is not to be missed. The people their livelihood and the terrain that shape the locals was a great eye opener. The picturesque and small quaint villages were just so mesmerizing. Stephane was a great tour guide. Multitasking and managing the wheels at the same time. He did give a great understanding and melding things together for his tour. This is a nice piece of heaven I must say, truly a world heritage site that everyone must see at least once in their lifetime."

"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"

"We had a wonderful guide Javier Conde who went far and beyond his city tour and guided us on even using the subway to get to our bus to SAN Sebastian and around the city. His tour also helped us know Casa Viejo well so I could go back to the cathedral for mass and all the important places I wanted to go back to. Very informative and helpful. Nice and pleasant tour. I hope you get him!"

"I like small group tours...more personalized....i absolutely recommend this tour to all of you game if thrones fans...the places we visited were awesome..our tour guides was so great in explaining and showing those set location of GOT...i had a great time..it was worth it"

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

"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"

"Our driver was timely, professional and nice. Everything was as expected and made our trip very easy."
