Experience the best of
Bilbao with Withlocals

"Laura is a wonderful guide. She showed us the best places, away from the tourist traps, but she also explained to us the culture of pintxos."

"Laura is a fantastic host - very approachable, knowledgeable and super friendly. She guided us to some of the best places - and not the touristy ones. Really a fantastic experience and great tour! "

"Mabel gave our group of 20 an outstanding tour of the Guggenheim Museum. Her German is excellent, and she shared an impressive amount of information while being incredibly warm and empathetic. As the organizer of the visit, finding her was a stroke of luck. Our whole group was absolutely thrilled with the tour. Thank you, Mabel!"

"Santiago is an outstanding guide with extensive knowledge of Bilbao, its history, and its present. While the food tour alone was great, his additional insights, guidance, and answers to our questions vastly enhanced our entire visit to Bilbao."

"Santi was an exception guide. Amicable and very knowledgeable. Such a great start to our mini break in Bilbao. Learnt lots about local and regional history as well as trying some excellent local food and drinks. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Top work. Thank you."

"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!"

"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 ."

"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"
