Experience the best of
Bilbao with Withlocals

"Joseba provided our small group of four people with a very enlightening tour of Bilbao. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable and delightful. He also provided us with an excellent restaurant recommendation which we tried. Thank you."

"What an absolute pleasure of a day we spent with Mabel. She is delightful company, so knowledgeable, caring, and the perfect person to share her native Bilbao with. Touring the Guggenheim with her far exceeded anything we could’ve dreamed of ourselves. Her knowledge of background information about the success of Bilbao’s attainment, creation, architecture, construction inside and out together with such insightful teachings about exhibits, artists and the curating of the Guggenheim’s collections from the beginning to present day were absolutely superb. And then there were the pinxtos, local wine, and beer. Mabel chose two special places for us to enjoy ourselves with locals. All taste were fabulous , the sun was shining, friends and families were out enjoying their Saturday afternoon and Mabel helped us fit right in. In addition, she was able to get a birthday cake for one of our group which was beyond delicious. We highly, highly recommend you take a tour of the great city of Bilbao with Mabel. She is a beautiful ambassador for that beautiful city!"

"We had a wonderful time on our food tour in Bilbao with Mabel. The four of us wanted to use the food tour as a way both to get an introduction to Bilbao and also to have a guide to the Pintxos culture of the Basque country. Mabel was perfect for our day, relaxing and easy to spend the day with, easily adapted to our travel style (we are slow eaters). She is exactly why we use guides from WithLocals every time we travel: extremely knowledgeable but also like spending a relaxing half-day with a friend who lives in the town and wants you to get a good feel of what the city is really like. Unlike traditional guides with whom you feel you are hearing the same thing as all previous guests, with Mabel you feel like you are having a unique experience. Thanks, Mabel!"

"We had an amazing tour discovering culinary gems of Bilbao. Endika is very knowledgable both about the local foodie scene as well as of the Basque history. We had a great time and we can highly recommend it!"

"I have had lots of guides in lots of cities , many were very good, but Mabel is the best of the bunch. She was so very good. It was a great pleasure to spend time with her ."

"Endika is a pro level guide who really brought the Basque culture to life. He is personable and energetic with great English stills. We started off with a brief history lesson and then we had sights explained to us that would be missed if you just wondered around on your own. This was a fun and informative tour. Not all guides are the same and our time was limited so just go for the best. "

"We absolutely loved spending time with Santi in Bilbao. He is very knowledgeable (as a Bilbao native) and did a great job planning an outing that matched our interests. He also did a great job tweaking the program as our day unfolded to focus on particular things. Santi is absolutely one of the best tour guides I have ever spent time with. Highly recommended!! Thank you again Santi for making our Bilbao day special"

" We had a wonderful experience with Endika in Bilbao through Withlocals. He was incredibly personable and easy to spend time with—right away it felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a formal tour. What really stood out was how knowledgeable he is. He brought the city to life, not just with history, but with context—culture, daily life, and the little details you’d never pick up on your own. He’s also very well traveled, which made conversations flow naturally into all kinds of topics beyond Bilbao. It never felt scripted. We appreciated how flexible and engaging he was, always open to questions and happy to go deeper wherever our curiosity led. It was one of those experiences that made the city feel more personal and meaningful. Highly recommend spending time with him if you’re in Bilbao."

"Fantastic tour! Far more informative and less generic than what we have experienced in the past. We both look forward another of his tours in the future."

"had a great time trying pintxos with Endika. he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us a lot about not just the food but the Basque culture, history, and language, which we were also interested in. highly recommend. gracias, Endika! "
