Overview

Guggenheim Bilbao is amazing!

Murray_P, Aug 2024

Javi was a knowledgeable and engaging guide - great for understanding the works throughout the amazing building and explaining the background and features. There was some muddling of our relatively expensive booking as we didn’t receive the 3 hour tour and food tasting we had booked and paid for - rather a 2.5 hr tour only. No refund or further explanation was offered - but the tour we did have was excellent.

Last minute cancel by provider

This was canceled last minute by the provider. I was waiting at location site when I received the text. Super frustrating. I have attempted to contact Viator, with out any luck, to get a full refund.

Excellent tour and guide

My husband and I did this tour. We signed up on line Knowing where to go was interesting so we wandered around a bit. The entrance is by the big puppy planter. Once you know that it is quite straight forward. Our guide met us there. Javier was excellent. He gave us all the details and without him we would not have gotten as much out of the museum.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

We are glad that you will enjoy the tour and our guide Javier. We hope to see you soon.

Javier was excellent. Passionate, informative and gave us a generous amount of time to ask questions and look and the art. Top notch...thanks for making our trip to Bilbao memorable

Larry F, Sep 2017

Very unclear as to where to meet the guide who was not where we were told to meet him. Finally found him but was stressful. We thought we were getting the 90 min inside and outside tour because of the initial description on the website and didn't realize we paid 89 per person for just the outside tour. Our mistake but it was very misleading. Even the voucher said Inside and Outside tour.The outside tour of the museum that we got was very superficial and we spent most of the time walking around the surrounding area and little time actually learning about the museum. We went into the museum but missed having a professional guide. Big disappointment and felt that we were ripped off. Was very hard finding someone to contact on the Viator website to complain. Won't make that mistake again.

A visita ao museu foi boa, mas havia pedido um guia que falasse português. A Maria Angélica é muito boa pessoa, atenciosa, educada, etc... no entanto, necessita evoluir no português e em alguns detalhes do museu.
