All Bilbao Tours & Excursions in 2026

What a great tour - it far exceeded our expectations. Our guide for the day was Asier. We can’t say enough about Asier …he is professional, friendly, funny and super-knowledgeable about Bilbao, the Basque region and history, La Rioja and wine production. He speaks perfect English and answered all of our many, many questions. We were a small group of 5 and the whole day flowed really well. We stopped at 2 wineries - one large (Bodegas Luis Cañas) and one small (Bodegas Tritium) and had wine tastings and bread, cured meats and cheese at both. At both stops we had a tour and a talk by a winery employee. Anna at the first stop was amazing - I wish we had more time to learn so much more from her. The lady at the second stop (I can’t remember her name, sorry) was just as passionate about the subject but her English was not as proficient so it was a little difficult to understand some of her explanations. After the wineries we went on to the very pretty town of Laguardia for a very pleasant lunch. It was my partner’s 70th birthday that day and Asier very thoughtfully arranged for the restaurant to present a dessert with a candle in it …very kind. In all of our years of travel this tour was one of the best that we have done. Highly recommended. Andrew & Rob

Just an outstanding tour! Javier was amazing! The tour included discussion of the outside of the building, the impact on Bilbao, special stories about the view, himself and the art inside he covered all the high points. His personality and special insights from 16 years of doing tours was just incredible worth visiting the inside and the outside with a personal tour 100% and Javier is the man to see.

Quite a lot of pinchos to get through, so don’t come after a big meal. Great way to get settled into the city if this is your first visit. You may not like everything you try, although I enjoyed it all, but at least you have a quick intro to Bilbao, pinchos culture and where to go on your own.

A very enjoyable tour. The guide is very knowledgeable and enjoys his job. Sit on the left side of the bus for the best view and less sun 😀 the tour operator is Buen Dia in case its not clear. There may be 2-3 groups at the meeting point so make sure you find the right group. It’ll be more helpful if the guides hold a sign that clearly say which tour is which.

We had a wonderful day. It was a very enjoyable experience and our guide, Stephane, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He made the trip a real pleasure. He was fun and super informative. He also repeated everything both in Spanish and English, which was super kind of him. ¡¡¡Gracias Stephane!!!

Well structured, varied tour with an excellent guide (Aman) and driver (Andre). The commentary was useful with plenty of humour. The allocated times were appropriate to each stop, where places of interest were advised but you were given the freedom to do your own thing if preferred. Very pleased I chose this tour.

It was a pretty drive in a comfortable van with 2 other couples. Our driver entertained us with some history of the Basque people as we drove. The winery was beautiful as was the hotel on the premises. The wines were good and the lunch we had was delicious. It was one of the best wine tours I have done. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a great trip as a taster of the French Basque region. Our guide, Aitor, gave us just the right amount of information at each stopping point and then we had some free time to explore or grab a coffee/lunch etc The three towns were lovely, but different. Excellent value for money
