Our guide and driver were both excellent. Our guide Adur provided a wealth of information about the Basque region and its history. He was organised and efficient and included humour in his presentation. We found his recommendations of where to eat in San Sebastián extremely helpful.

What a hike and a view!
Josera was our guide on this unforgettable excursion! There were 10 in the group. Josera told us so many stories about each place we visited.
We had a visit in the town of Mundaka and Josera told us about this area & its history. we were also given recommendations of where to have lunch.
We also visited the town of Guernika which is home to a famous piece of artwork by Pablo Picasso. Josera told us some interesting things about this piece as well as other historical facts about the town.
Last but not least we went to Dragonstone (this is one of the sights that was used in the filming of Game of Thrones). What an amazing trek down to almost sea level, cross stone bridge and up 241 stone steps to the top where there’s a small museum, back down and up again to where we started. What incredible views! Josera was with us the whole way telling us stories.
He was a wonderful guide and this is a must.

Javi the Great Guggenheim Guide
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the outside and inside tour of the Guggenheim in Bilbao!
We were lucky that there were only four of us and Javi, our guide, was the best!
Javi was filled with so much information and incredible detail. He consistently spoke to each one of us saying our names to make sure we didn’t miss a beat!
He took photos when we asked and had a huge passion for his work and for the city he was born in.
Would definitely recommend Javi.

Traveling solo, this tour gave me the opportunity to go to multiple bars in town, learn some history along the way and have a great time with others in the group. Our guide Usoa was wonderful- she is invested in her community and was able to share her knowledge with the rest of us.

Our friendly guide took us on an interesting tour that was interspersed with her personal reflections. She was well spoken, patient, and at the end of the tour, took the time to walk us to where we needed to go. This was our 4th Viatour in Spain this month. All good.

Scenery, wine and food
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.

Without this tour we...
Without this tour we would have never made it to all of the locations listed in a single day. Transportation alone made it worth the cost. However, in addition, our guide also spoke great English and gave us great information about all of our stops. Overall, this was exactly as advertised, which is great! Our lunch in Mundaka was especially great, and we appreciated the recommendation for a local dish.

Fantastic tour undrr rainy conditions.
It was the absolutely great trip! Weather was particularly nasty, poring rain and wind. I was 5 minutes late , which it highly unusual for me, BUT ... I had the most wonderful( and forgiving) travel team and the most important -the great, great guide/driver Stefan!
He was very knowledgeable, great driving skills, great story teller and just a fantastic guide. Trip was very enjoyable, informative and just a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Stefan as a tourguide, he is a great person and a very good guide. Thank you for such enojable time in Bilbao!!!

Excellent day tour
Trip was very informative and we visited multiple sites. We had excellent guide & driver Paula. She provided the right amount of historic information to understand bacground of places visited. Paula kept good pace of the tour and made sure we have time to see and experience most important sites. The scenery along the way is beautiful and the towns are beautiful as well. Highly recommended 11/10

Just do it!!
From the moment it started, it felt like being shown around the city by a friend who knows every secret, every story and every perfect pintxo bar.
The guide was incredible…warm, funny, and packed with knowledge. I learned so much about Bilbao’s history and culture without ever feeling overwhelmed.
And the pintxos? Amazing. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, with beautiful wines that paired perfectly. I tried things I never would’ve ordered on my own and loved every single one.
It was the perfect mix of food, culture, and fun. If you’re visiting Bilbao, this tour is absolutely unmissable. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Great day in Bilbao
Our tour guide, Alejandro was in constant contact with us prior to the meeting. It was easy to find him by the Guggenheim Museum. He even brought us a little gift. The tour was very informative and tailored to our interests. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city of Bilbao. He had a great sense of humor as well. He was very caring and obviously enjoyed being a guide and we enjoyed having him as our guide. We highly recommend!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Poised just a few miles inland from the Basque Country coast—and within easy driving distance of southwestern France—Bilbao is a convenient jumping-off point for travelers looking to explore more of the region. Depending on your interests, Bilbao day trips can take you to Basque hubs such as San Sebastián or La Rioja, Spain's best-known wine region. Alternatively, head across the French border to enviable resort towns such as Biarritz. And for intrepid types, the Picos de Europa mountains beckon.
