Top Bilbao Bus Tours

Our excellent guide, Aitor, was very good about explaining what to expect all along the way and his commentary was very enlightening. He also made certain that his shifting between English & Spanish was not confusing, as we have experienced in the past. Our main goal was to see San Sebastián but the other stops proved to be very worthwhile.

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.

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

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.

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.
