Nothing better than someone from Bilbao
Our guide José, a native of Bilbao, was able to convey the essence of his town through his knowledge, experiences, and his journey as a guide. Despite the rain, we were able to explore the entire city, its streets and iconic monuments, its history, and the warmth of its people. 100% recommended!

Eskerrik asko Victor. Fue realmente agradable visitar paseando la ciudad con vosotros y fue, por supuesto , un placer conoceros. Envío un saludo entrañable a Puerto Rico

It was boiling hot during our tour in Bilbao, but we forged ahead as Jose showed us all of Bilbao and gave us a very thorough and thoughtful introduction to the city. He recommended a wonderful restaurant which we enjoyed very much. Would very much recommend. Thanks Jose for sharing with us the city we have come to love!

Fantastic walking tour of Bilbao with Jose
What an amazing day we had exploring the fantastic city of Bilbao with our guide Jose. We covered an impressive 14km in this relaxed yet comprehensive walk that included the funicular and secret lift experience to views of and from the upper eschelons of Bilbao. We stopped for a delicious lunch in Casco Viajo at a restaurante organised by Jose. It was a treat to have such a passionate and informed local orientate us to this intriguing, bilingual city, the history, culture and amazing sights. When planning this trip, never did I imagine we would be walking down the streets of the Gran Via singing songs of the Pogues with our guide (Jose is an avid fan as are we). We also appreciated the insights provided by Jose on our upcoming trip to Picos de Europa. Eskerrik asko Jose!!!
Operator response
Hi Jennifer. We enjoyed a lot walking in Bilbao. It was fantastic to spend the day with you and your family. I've seen the film Crock of Gold (The Pogues). Enjoy Picos de Europa, Asturias. Geetings to Tasmania.

A Great Day in Bilbao
Jose was an outstanding guide. He showed us all the great sites plus he was helpful in navigating a very large soccer crowd on this day. You could not ask for a nicer and more accommodating guide. My wife has mobility challenges and our guide was very mindful of them.

Amazing! Walking Tour with Jose.
We really enjoyed our private guided walking tour with Jose. He really knows the city of Bilbao and it's history. He took us to an authentic Basque restaurant where we tried food from the region. I was able to take lots of pictures without feeling rushed. We were very fortunate that we had a sunny warm day in December, could not have planned the day any better.
Operator response
Thank you Jodi. We enjoyed a lot walking around the city and visiting the most popular places. Thank you very much.

A perfect day
Jose Luis was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, warm, interesting and helpful. The itinerary for our day long walking tour in Bilbao was perfect. We toured the city and learnt so much from a local's perspective. Jose Luis's English was fantastic. His lunchtime restaurant choice was spot on. Our day was perfect thanks to Jose Luis. Book this tour. You will not be disappointed. We had plenty of laughs and were disappointed the day had to end ! Thank you for a simply wonderful day. Next time we are in Bilbao we will definitely book another Jose Luis tour.
