Dragonstone, Mundaka und Guernica ab Bilbao

Going to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe was AMAZING but in all honesty the whole trip was fabulous. There was a hiccup in the reservation resulting from what I thought was a 1/2 day tour to an 8.5 hr tour. The company was so accommodating! I would book with this company any day over others. They were so helpful with providing alternative options that we ended up staying the entire tour! José was the BEST guide. Enthusiastic about his job and the guests on the tour. It really showed that he loves what he does. A ton of information about the towns etc! Even gave out his number for after the tour if anyone needed further recommendations for the area. I have never had the experience before. Best tour company/guide EVER!

A decent tour but needs work. Those who have mobility challenges, or problems, walking up and down steep hills will find this tour very challenging. In addition, it was rushed it, especially considering how far Dragon Stone was away from where the bus dropped us off. At the second stop, we barely had time.(1 hour) to grab something to eat before it was back on the bus. Considering how busy it was walking around the town to see anything else was out of the question. At the third stop the guide did give us some local flare, but spent a little too much time in my opinion discussing the politics of why Picasso made his Guernica mural. There were some German tourist in our group, and I felt the guide was a little too pointed about the fact that it was German military that bombed the town. In all of the locations there were a lot of hills a lot of walking, and while for most people that’s probably not a problem. The things that we’re being shown, if people have those challenges, I mentioned at the first, they are going to have a hard time keeping up and will not enjoy this tour.

Excellent trip and host. Highly recommended

Great day trip! Our guide was amazing and very informative! Good hike to the church … it is a bit of a trek, but well worth it. All entrance fees were included.

Our guide was extremely helpful and informative. She gave us lots of good tips when exploring and directions.

WONDERFUL! Our guide Nora was incredibly friendly, helpful and told extensively about the area! A lot seen and learned!

Wonderful tour, the guide Nora was very good, adding a Basque touch because she is from there. Gaztelugatxe is a great place worth seeing even if you are not a fan of Game of Thrones. The day I went, the heat was almost 40 degrees, so there were uncomfortable moments, but it is worth it; Mundaka, Bermeo, and Gernika have their charm. My only "complaint" is that this tour requires very good physical condition; the uphill, downhill, uphill, downhill, and especially the final uphill (the return) are very demanding, and not everyone can handle it. I think it should mention something in the activity description on the Viator site; the guide warned me when we arrived, and it is indeed a strenuous tour. Aside from this detail, I highly recommend it!

I would recommend this trip to anyone that has a spare morning in Bilbao. Dragonstone was an excellent physical challenge and we got rewarded with a stop for lunch in Mundaka. Guernica was interesting finish to the trip. All in all, good glimpse into the more country side of Basque. And also, give Adur a promotion! That guy is knowledgeable and a comedy gold.

Great tour, I did not expect it, and with our guide Nora, we had a Basque perspective that made the experience more interesting because she is a native. The road transfers are very quick, and Mundaka and Gernika have their own charms, but the star is Gazteluatxe; it is impressive, and with the idea of 'Juego de Tornos' in mind, it is even more interesting. My only observation is that it is a physically demanding walk and it is not clear in Viator's description. Right there, we witnessed a helicopter rescue of a person with a fracture. I believe that if you do not have good physical ability, you lose some of the magic of the place, and it can also be dangerous. Nora warned us about how demanding the tour is when we arrived, but it would be more helpful to know this when booking. I had a great time anyway!

We got this trip as a last minute option for our final day in Bilbao. It was interesting, The guide Asier was really friendly and knowledgeable, telling the group about the culture and local history. Just missed more time to walk around, but if you are running short in time, it is a good option.
