Top Bilbao Bus Tours

We had a fantastic time with Usoa! She took all our differing tastes into consideration when making recommendations for drinks and pintxos to try. Her knowledge of the city and its history was incorporated into our experience, however the best part was the atmosphere she created. She made it feel like we were just catching up with an old friend.

Our guide Jose Luis was without a doubt born to unveil his world to others. There is a passion in his explanations, without being overwhelming, in his ability to impart his experience and knowledge about Spain but in particular the Basque Country. He is above all else a gentleman in the way he cares for his clients. The three main places we went to were all different. From the dramatic vistas of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, to the traditional fishing towns of Bermeo and Mundaka, and the lovely historical town of Guernica (Gernika-Lumo). Just be prepared with an umbrella and/or a raincoat. Just like Ireland, Northern Spain is emerald green due to the abundance of rain. Nonetheless, we had a magnificent day. We highly recommend the tour and our amazing guide Jose Luis.

Make sure to have a breakfast and liquid before you start this tour, as you can easily over imbibe drinking before lunch. Each winery had bread, cheese, cured meat and water available; take advantage of these. Eating and drinking water while tasting wine can enhance your sense of smell and taste creating new flavors to experience. The tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable on local history and the wine guides knew their products and wine history.

This private tour was everything it was advertised to be. Zack picked us up right at our hotel in a beautiful luxury sedan and drove us from Bilbao to a morning walking Tour of San Sebastian. We saw the beaches, the kayak surfers, the bay, the marina, the fresh market. All before it became too crowded. Then we set out for the fishing town of Getaria for some walking and touring before he brought us to a waterside outdoor restaurant for grilled fish, which we simply loved!! You can practically watch the chef cook your fish at the outdoor grill situated just at the front of the restaurant. After lunch we were brought to a geological park along the Atlantic coast that shows rock formations that are millions of years old. This region was featured in the last season of the Game of Thrones saga. In summary, this was a private tour and was exactly what we wanted. No large groups with a guide wearing a headset and you listening to their distorted voice coming thru cheap earbuds; the flexibility to stop for a restroom whenever we needed it; the luxury to have a wonderful and relaxing outdoor lunch and to be able to text Zack whenever we were ready to be picked up; and to have his ear when we had questions, not having to share him with many other tourists and not having to fear monopolizing his time when others also want some attention. If this is the type of experience you are seeking, look no further than this tour option!!

This was such a wonderful tour. We had never done a tour excursion before and this was our first time in Bilbao. It was so worth it. Wallace was an incredible and very knowledgeable guide and Josu was an excellent tour bus driver. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Our guide, Oni, was great. Her English was great, she was very nice, super knowledgeable, gave the group informative facts and a good/patient driver! We had an amazing time -- the 4 stops were perfect and just the right amount of time. It's a long day, but a great way to learn and see the Basque country. Highly recommend! 👍

This was our second tour with Stefan. He has a deep and broad knowledge that brings not only the places to life but the journey in between (and a quirky sense of humour to boot!). Loyolla is fascinating, if compact, being the beginnings of the Jesuit order. Getaria is a nice break in the journey to San Sebastian. San Sebastian is incredible and probably deserves at least a whole day to itself, if not a stay in its own right.

We had a wonderful private tour withi Íñigo. It wasn’t about “checking off” tourist sites but rather about getting a real sense of this beautiful city. We walked a lot and saw a great deal, and his narrative was illuminating and fascinating. We recommend him without hesitation.
