Great tour
Leonardo was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. It was uncommonly hot that day. Monitor the weather and bring water. Thankfully we found plenty of shade throughout our tour.

Private group tour of Bilbao (15) with SYLVAIN guide
Sylvain guide: a common crook! he lingers, he offers to stop for a drink that we offer him, we have lunch in a restaurant he chooses, we offer him his meal and after , he charges a huge overpayment of fees of 180 € because he has exceeded the agreed time of his intervention. A real thug! Not to be recommended!

Terrible
Do not book this tour guide. She was sweet, but was very much uninformed about so many aspects of the city.

Bilbao Private Walking Tour
Ligo was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his city of Bilbao. He went out of his way to show us sights he thought would be of interest, many of which you typically don’t get on a city tour. He also taught us a lot about the Basque culture and history in the region. We thought this tour was great value for the money and would highly recommend it, and Ligo, in particular.

Amazing Day in Bilbao Spain especially for Cruisers
Wonderful day in Bilbao taking the Bilbao: Private Custom Walking Tour with a Guide (Private Tour) with Sara as our guide. This tour company and Sara was very effective at communicating and planning this tour. Easy to meet Sara the guide at the agreed upon location. Customized this tour to our desires. Sara was flexible. We stopped for amazing desserts based upon her recommendation. Saw all of the major sites in Bilbao including the top of Artxanda Viewpoint. I would highly recommend this tour and Sara as a guide. Very easy to do this tour as a cruiser arriving in Bilbao. Sara was passionate. She did struggle a bit with English. My feedback is Sara should be more proactive with insights into Bilbao throughout the tour vs just at the sites when we arrive. I would very much take a tour with Sara again! Thanks for a great day in Bilbao Sara & Guydeez Bilbao!

Walking Bilbao with Begoña
I recently took a walking tour in Bilbao led by Begonia, and it was exceptional. Begoña’s deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the experience both educational and engaging. She was warm, personable, and tailored the tour to our interests, which made it even more enjoyable. Her insights into local traditions and landmarks brought Bilbao to life in a way that I would have missed on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the authentic side of Bilbao!
