Bilbao Old Town Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Description
Bilbao's old town was founded on seven streets in the 14th century — some of the original seven are still there. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through the Casco Viejo on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues to Teatro Arriaga, Mercado de la Ribera, and the Siete Calles — three landmarks that take you from the grandest theatre entrance in Bilbao to the best-stocked riverbank market in the Basque Country • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure • Perfect for families, friend groups, and curious travellers; photo challenges in the medieval lanes are more competitive than they look Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish and English. Seven streets made Bilbao — your phone will help you find them.

Fun way to explore old town Bilbao using a simple app that provides easy to follow directions. Added fun competing with each other to answer questions and solve additional tasks. Took us places we would otherwise have missed and provided lots of additional information about the history. We normally do Treasure Trails when on city breaks and this was one of the best we have done to learn about the city and provide entertainment . Great value for money too
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
No overview map of route. Not in advance and not after purchase. So no idea or fits wishes and bought on the gamble. The route through the old town was fun and certainly included all the highlights. A lot of questions are unfortunately gambling / Googling instead of puzzling based on the environment. The questions are specific about Bilbao. We only found out after 3/4 route how far in the scavenger hunt we were, there is no counter or % oid running; after some questions sections you get a one-time progress message.
We are very sorry to hear your experience didn't go as expected and that you encountered some issues while playing. Your feedback is very important to us and feel free to contact our customer support team at mail@explorial.com to request the refund. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we look forward to hearing from you.
