Top Bilbao Bus Tours

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!!

Such a worthy tour! Our knowledgeable guide Pedro showed us the awesome environs of Bilbao. We hiked, walked through charming towns, ate good food, tasted wine, learned about Basque’s history and culture, and gained a lot of awesome impressions. Good vibes with the group, approachable guide, and variety of experiences. Worth your money and highly recommended.

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.

Fantastic tour to the area around Bilbao. We highly recommend Stefane and his tour company for this excellent small group tour! Stefane was very knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining and he went out of his way to explain everything in English and Spanish. We learned a lot but also had enough free time to hike Gaxtelguatxe, explore Bermeo, and get a taste of Guernica. We strongly recommend this tour if you will be in Bilbao for a few days.

Great opportunity to visit French site of the Basque Country and the amazing city of San Sebastián! Gorka was not only a fantastic driver but also really great in sharing her experience about the places visited! Nice way getting a glimpse of Biarritz, St Jean de Luz and of course San Sebastián!!!

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.

We were not able to go on this tour due to weather. I gave it a 5 because the communication with the tour operator was very clear and timely. We were given a refund. The tour operator also recommended several places we should visit, on foot, while in Balbao.
