Great museum, good guide, Group too big

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is fabulous and our tour guide did a wonderful job leading our LARGE group through the crowds. He was knowledgeable and patient. We were disappointed with the size of our group, which was 20-25 people. We chose viator because they usually have the advertised "small group" tour

Great day at Bilbao Guggenheim!

Excellent overview. Beatrice was helpful, informed, and a good communicator. There was a mixup regarding place to meet, but that had to do with central office, not the guide.

Should not miss!

Nora is an incredible guide! She brought in history, Basque culture, and lots of information about the museum outside and art inside. So worth it! Her knowledge and tour helped to truly understand the museum. She is one of the best guides we have had in Spain while traveling!

Cultural tour with sympathetic guide and interested in explaining us what we were seeing. The easy and rushed guide was a g

Visit with a guide is fundamental otherwise was visit to see works without understanding anything of what represents who was the artist
