All Bilbao Tours & Excursions in 2026

Had the best morning with Zach, the hotel pick up was much appreciated. He was very kind, shared lots of knowledge with us about The Basque region and their very proud community. Our hike was beautiful, and lunch and a walk around Bermeo delightful. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our time with Gonzalo for this tour! He is very conscious of the service he’s providing and wants to deliver a great experience. He speaks English fluently, asked about any allergies/food preference, and is very knowledgeable having lived in or near Bilbao all of his life. He is extremely qualified with a masters degree in gastronomic tourism, so that, paired with his great taste, results in a tour of pintxos and drinks from the best bars in town that feels conversationally educating. We were only in Bilbao for the day so this was a great way to experience the gastronomic side of the city with a limited amount of time. As a plus, he was kind enough to send a list of recommendations for where we were staying (San Sebastian) so we could continue to experience amazing restaurants we wouldn’t had otherwise known about. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and pleasant experience. Just a reminder to wear comfy shoes as it is a walking tour with intermittent stops throughout. Thank you, Gonzalo!

A really fantastic tour. It was so much more than I expected. The guide was real, very authentic, honest and enthusiastic. I felt the sights he took us to were not just the ones on the checklist but ones that provided insight into San Sebastián. Even the restaurant he took us to for lunch was less of a tourist trap, more of a local destination. He also went above and beyond to take us to a must see sight in Bilbao on the way back. Well worth the money.

Here’s a polished, professional version of your review with the same warm enthusiasm: The Guggenheim was fantastic! Javi was an amazing tour guide—so passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about all of the collections. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Since we were the only people on the tour that day, he spent extra time answering all of our questions, which made the experience even more special. Definitely recommend this tour!!

This was a great excursion. Caesar was an awesome guide. He had so much information. He stopped a lot so everyone could catch up. He told us great places to try the food. He took us to some eating places also. This is a place to definitely come back and spend a few days exploring.

Mikel was absolutely amazing. He was super personable and interesting in his explanation of the food preparation and ingredients with useful tips. The final products of all the courses were award winning quality food. This experience was one of our best cruise ship excursions we've ever had and we can't recommend it enough!

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!

My friend also enjoyed the tour, however we were disappointed that the meeting spot was not per the information we received. There was a couple on our same tour who received the same info about the meeting spot. The guide was told a different spot, so we lost 15 minutes or so of our tour trying to find each other; this was disappointing. The guide, Pilar was excellent and apologized for the mixup which was clearly the company's fault, not the guide's. I rated the tour 5 stars because of Pilar, and didn't want to punish her for the company's error. In the future, we hope the information of meeting spot will be clearer for the guide and the guests.
