Fabulous walking tour within the seven streets of the old town great start to the weekend in Bilbao. Lots of history, political facts, tips on what to do and food and drinks! Would definetly recommend.
Our guide Miguel did an excellent job of taking us through the "Seven Streets" that define the Old City neighborhood of Bilbao. Along the way he gave us many insights into Basque history, language, and culture, including the current social and political relationship between this autonomous region and the broader nation of Spain. He affirmed the sentiment we saw on a banner that the Basque region is neither Spain nor France as a key to understanding its people and culture. Though this tour basically stays within the Old City, Miguel also explained how to use the regional metro/subway system to easily and affordably access the beach areas at the northern end of the metropolitan area. The tour length was just over an hour and half.
Very informative tour; our guide patiently answered all questions and provided insights into the city's history and architecture, as well as everyday culture, such as the Basque language and the political system.
Excellent guide. Perfect English. Good sense of humour. Attentive to everyone’s needs
Terrific and personable guide, great 2 hours to start our time in the city, wonderful foundation to the trip
It is absolutely recommended to take this tour with Joaquin. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and provides many interesting tips (food, drinks, language, sights...) Thank you!
My tour with Miguel was absolutely exceptional. He was funny, personable, knowledgeable, informative. He told great stories, and was patient with our group. His recommendations for restaurants and places to go and things to see were spot on. One of the best walking tour experiences I’ve had. Thank you, Miguel!
We met our guide Miguel outside the opera house. From first meeting, Miguel combined professionalism and friendliness. Miguel was very knowledgeable about Bilbao city and the Basque region and culture. Miguel gave useful information about the transport system, visitor attractions, local food, and events taking place. The tour is well worth taking.
Great walking tour with a great guide, Miguel. Fun and informative, giving a great insight into Basque culture and history. We can thoroughly recommend.
Interesting old town tour concentrating on the Basque culture
