In a day you will discover medieval Bilbao, Casco Viejo or popularly known as "The Seven Streets", with its cobblestone streets, cantons, squares and charming corners, witnesses of the intense commercial and port activity that made the Villa grow. Its walls, the Gothic cathedral of Santiago, the Plaza Nueva, the emblematic church of San Antón and the ancient ruins on which it sits, or the bustling market of La Ribera welcome more than 500 years of history and an urban vitality for which seems to pass the time. We will continue the tour of the well-known Ensanche, a key sign of the progress of the Villa. The visit shows the urban development of Bilbao and its architecture from the 19th century to the present day. A look at the pulsating heart of a city that exudes tradition and avant-garde. The visit ends in the most Bilbao style, we go for pintxos !! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). The pintxo is the 5th essence, a snack of the size of a bite.

JAVIER CONDE is the perfect tour guide. As a history professor, he communicated in English well and knew Bilbao’s history and architecture by heart! He showed the most beautiful buildings and answered kindly all my questions! Definitely, this tour is highly recommended!
Javier is an excellent guide. We are glad to know that you enjoyed it. We will tell. Thank you
We booked an 11:30, received confirmation, and went to the address listed on the site. Unfortunately, all of these tours depart from the Guggenheim, no matter what the booking site says. We had a bit of a fiasco but Viator customer service got it fixed. Thank you Viator.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused
Javier was an excellent tour guide! We walked through the Old and New town areas and talked about the history, the culture and the architecture. I also expanded my tour the following day for the Guggenheim tour. We spent several hours talking about the museum, both the exterior and interior. Javier talked about the various artists and their exhibits inside as well. Explora Norte sent me several emails and allowed me to expand my tours before I got to Bilbao. They communicated well and were flexible. I highly recommend them.
Javier is one of our best guides, a passionate person who tells the story perfectly and it is very pleasant to enjoy the ride with him. We are glad to know that you enjoyed it and thank you for choosing us.
Great tour to get an overall perspective of the city as well as ideas of things to do outside. Guide was a little rusty on english but we worked together and I didn't feel the tour suffered. Lovely insights into archtiecture.
We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the tour
Tour was terrific Our guide was helpful in every way. She was punctual, knowledgeable, personable, and offered many insights into the town. It was a perfect tour for a one day stop in Bilbao.
Begona gave me a comprehensive and engaging walking tour of Bilbao. She is an outstanding and knowledgeable guide. Could not have enjoyed my wonderful one on one tour more.
Nos alegra que disfrutéis del recorrido.
