      Bilbao was a fun place to visit!

      "Mabel was wonderful! Aside from the tour we had great communication before the tour regarding questions about transportation from our cruise ship to hotel, the ongoing festival etc. Of course the highlight of the tour was the Guggenheim Museum which was great but then we spent time in the City Centre which she proudly gave us a tour. As part of this tour we visited a Pintxos Bar and enjoyed quite a few pintos (tapas) for our group of eight. Overall Mabel was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly and we all were pleasantly surprised with the City of Bilbao! We did not expect much with Bilbao but it was a great city to visit."

      Enhanced visit

      "Joseba's passion and knowledge about the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum made our experience so much better! He gave us a wonderful history of the museum and explained much about both the museum and a number of the art pieces in it. We wouldn't have appreciated either the museum or the art without our tour.

      Insightful xploration of Bilboa

      "Santi provided an insightful, fun and educational exploration of Bilboa. Taking in much more than the Guggenheim to really give us a sense of what life was like before and after. We enjoyed some delicious pintos in the central square and had a really enjoyable time. No question was too much for Santiago, he was always happy to engage and explain which was really great for our kids. "

      AMAZING GUIDE

      "If you are looking for a great guide experience in Bilbao, look no further, Rune is the person for the job! We had our 3 year old toddler with us and it wasn't easy as he is full of energy and can be quite distractive but Rune was amazing. He not only could entertain our little kiddo and yet he could give us insightful history and facts about the guggenheim and the artwork in the museum. We are very happy with our tour experience with Rune."
