What are people saying about Bilbao

Exceptional
Totally enjoyed our experiences with the "guide" who we preferred to acknowledge as a companion who educated us about Basque history and food cuisine. Not only was she knowledgeable, but her English was wonderful, and all of the food establishments that we visited knew her. Because there were only my spouse and myself, she was able to tailor our experiences to our time frame, needs, and preferences. Tackling enjoying food for the remainder of tour during many days thereafter in Bilbao and San Sebastian was made so very much easier because of her

Fun experience and great Guide
What can make or break a tour is the guide. Our guide Pilar was fantastic and so was our adventure. She showed up on time and made sure we knew what was planned for the day. Pilar was also a wealth of knowledge which made it all worth while. The hike is beautiful but make sure you’re not afraid of walking a lot and up hill! It’s a lot of exercise but so worth it. After Pilar took us to a really great town and had lunch. Then we had another historical walk but this one was mainly flat. Overall I would give the experience an A, Pilar an A+ and would recommend it to anyone!

Should win an award!
I only found out later that it’s not that this tour is award winning, but they take you to awarding-winning places for pintxos. However, this tour should win an award too! Leire was engaging, knowledgeable and fun. It was great to learn tid bits of local history and stories from a local from their point of view. Pintxos were great and wine was great. My husband’s dietary restrictions were promptly taken care of.

A Museum Visit with Context and Stories
I was really grateful for the insight, additional context, and conversations that Gara provided. She was a delight to spend some time with, and I believe I enjoyed the museum more than I would have on my own. I only wish it was longer and we could have seen more! But the ticket gave me additional time to explore the museum solo. Overall an incredible experience well worth the money.

The art, the museum, and so much more!
José is not just a tour guide, but a true docent. He has studied art history and can communicate important facts about what we’re seeing. But better yet, he can elicit deeper questions and insights as he guides his visitors to a deeper appreciation not only of the works on view, but of the museum, itself. We appreciated his love for his city and the deep connection he feels for its history and aspirations. Learning about the Guggenheim Foundation’s connection to the city, the history and evolution of its construction, and the impact the museum has made on urban renewal was enlightening.

Recommended Full Day Tour
This was a nice day, though long, guided by Pedro. I believe the company has addressed some of the issues raised by previous reviewers such as having people stay in the same bus seats for the whole day. And emphasizing the difficulty of the hike. The guide also provided commentary while on the bus in both English and Spanish as well as on location. I felt we had adequate time in each location though it is less than what is stated on the itinerary. For example, it says 3 hours for the hike, but there was only 2 hours. I believe they are including travel time as part of the time at the site.
Overall, a really good experience and I would recommend it.

A Must‑Do Pintxo Tour!
Our pintxo tour last night was outstanding. Jack delivered delicious food at every stop, but what truly set the experience apart was his warm hospitality and genuine passion for the region. He blended history, culture, traditions, and cuisine into a seamless narrative that gave us a deeper understanding of Basque heritage. It was informative, welcoming, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend booking this tour. Thank you, Jack!

Architecture and Wine Rijoa
Highly recommend! One of the best days of our vacation. Arrate is a pleasure to be around and has a wealth of knowledge regarding Rijoa and the Basque way of life. The tour sets a nice pace of wine and architecture and history and food. Having a guide to drive is an added bonus so we all could imbibe.

Interesting and good value tour.
We visited 4 Basque cities, 1 of them in France! Stefan gave us a lot of interesting history about the cities and about the Basque history, culture, and language. We saw beautiful beaches and countryside. We had time in San Sebastion for a nice lunch and to walk around the city. I thought it was good value for the cost.

Great experience
It was a really great experience.
The hike done in the morning to the castle with the 241 steps climbed and the landscape seen from the top, is amazing. The information received from the guide and the atmosphere extraordinary. Bermeo, also the old fishing village, is worth visiting for the diversity of colors of the buildings.
I highly recommend this experience.

Excellent introduction to Bilbao and pintxos!
This tour is a really fun introduction to the pintxo culture of Bilbao. We had tasty food and drinks, and learned about Bilbao and Basque culture. Our guide Kaya was knowledgeable and fun. The whole family (teen son to grandma) enjoyed the experience!

Great tour to hike...
Great tour to hike Gaztelugatxe and visit Port Bermeo. Irene was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the Basque Country history and culture. She kept our kids entertained and was easy to talk with. She is probably the best tour guide we have ever had!
