Old town Bilbao tour
Iker was very passionate about Bilbao , it's history, it's people and it's culture. There was lots of info and he took us around the old town so we felt comfortable later, wandering around on our own. He was very helpful and kind.

Ideal tour with Asier
Asier, our guide, combined stories of his family, the history of Bilbao and his knowledge of interesting places in this town. We recommend Asier and this tour.

Very interesting historical city tour.
This was a really interesting tour given by an extremely knowledgeable guide. We were there at festival time so there was a fantastic vibe in the city. Only advice would be to think about location for finishing up if you plan on doing a bit more wandering the city after the tour is finished.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the festival atmosphere. Great tip about the finishing location, we’ll keep that in mind for future tours!
