We really enjoyed this bike tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared lots of interesting information about Bilbao's history and landmarks. It was a great way to explore the city. The only suggestion we have is to make the meeting point directly in front of the bike shop instead of the plaza. It would make finding the group much easier, especially for first-time visitors. Overall, a fun and worthwhile experience that we'd definitely recommend!
Very informative 2-hour e-bike tour with Miguel in small group (4 Prsonen). Miguel, who grew up in Bilbao, knows a lot about the city and its exciting development, but was also very flexible about our wishes and expectations for the tour. We can highly recommend the tour.
It was a good overview of Bilbao. The bicycles were of good quality and well maintained. And Jose, our guide did a great job of giving historical points. His English was more than adequate and his concern about safety was commendable.
A great way to explore Bilbao and Miguel was a brilliant guide. He talked about his home city with knowledge and passion, we learned so much about Basque history, culture and language. Thank you!
It was a great Tour. It was our first day in Bilbao, therefore we gained a great overview of the old town and the sightseeing spots. By E Bike it was a comfortable way to get around and to see a lot. Our Guide Jose was very good, you can tell he is very proud of Bilbao and the Basque Country. Which made it easy for us to get excited about the Tour and the City.
Miguel is a great guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. He spoke about history, culture, politics, architecture…. He picked up on what we were interested in and followed up on that. We were a little worried about how we would manage 2.5hrs on a bike (we’re in our 60s), but the e-bikes really do take the sweat out of traveling this way and it means you can cover a lot of ground and get off road, like visiting the old dry docks outside the maritime museum. Overall, we loved it. Thanks Miguel!
We enjoyed seeing some of the major sites in Bilbao. Our guide was sensitive to our unfamiliarity with biking on the streets and tried to stay mostly in bike paths or on the walkways. He was clearly caring about our safety. The E bikes were very easy to ride and comfortable. He took extra time at the Guggenheim Museum, as we were really enjoying viewing the exterior.
Great way to see the city with a wonderful guide Jose. City is very flat but e bike good for the few hills.
Jose was a wonderful guide who is clearly very passionate about his city. Jose gave us an interesting insight re the history of the city which made us feel more connected. Great recommendations for places to eat and options of where to visit during our stay, Great bikes and the perfect duration of the tour. Would highly recommend this bike tour.
We booked this e.bike tour at the start of our long weekend to get our basic orientation and to help decide where to go for the rest of our time. Eduardo, our guide, was excellent, clearly passionate about his city and very informative. Highly recommended.
