Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"We did a 3 hour walking tour with Santiago & it was great! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Bilbao which he shared with us as we walked through the area. He showed us the highlights & pointed out things we might want to go see the next day. He was able to answer questions & made some recommendations on restaurants. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, informative tour of the area! "
"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. "
"We are a family with 2 boys ages 8 and 10. Our private tour with Mabel was a wonderful experience. She is a Bilbao native, and she was able to give us very interesting context of Bilbao's history and culture and explain how the Guggenheim played a key role in Bilbao's evolution. She had a wealth of knowledge about the city, the museum, its architecture, and the modern art collection. I think the personal guide is well worth it to gain the key insights, and then you can use your ticket to remain in the museum and slowly explore on your own. We had an excellent experience with Mabel and highly recommend the tour."
"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."
"Mabel was a delightful host who was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We had a lovely afternoon visit with her guiding us through the local history and the Guggenheim. She was also kind enough to recommend some Pintxos bars and places to shop which we are very grateful for. "
"Mabel was extremely helpful in arranging a taxi from and to our cruise ship and volunteering to push my wife’s wheelchair. We thoroughly enjoyed her excellent commentary. "
"We were blown away by the Guggenheim Museum, and Mabel really helped us see and understand it at a different level. She also gave us a great introduction to the Basque region and some recommendations for the remainder of our visit. We loved the Museum and the tour and highly recommend Mabel!"
"Daria is a charming and knowledgeable guide that showed us around in fantastic Bilbao. We learned about the city history, Basque culture and language peculiarities while walking along the Nervión River and surrounding streets. Thank you Daria for a great experience. "

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's history began with a vision to revitalize the city. Its construction, a feat of modern engineering, transformed Bilbao's industrial landscape into a hub of art and culture, attracting global attention and tourism. It is designed by the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry
The Guggenheim's impact on Bilbao extends beyond its walls. The museum sparked urban renewal, fostered a vibrant cultural scene, and inspired other cities to invest in iconic architecture. It is a testament to the power of art and architecture to transform communities and become an engine for urban and economic change
No trip to Bilbao is complete without indulging in the local pintxos. These Basque tapas, often served with a drink, offer a taste of the region's rich culinary heritage. Enjoy the Guggenheim, then savor the flavors of Bilbao!
