Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"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"
"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."
"Rune was a terrific guide for our bicycle tour and gave us an incredible coverage of the city. We felt we got a great compbination of behind the scenes and off the path as well as a circle of the city. His comments were a wonderful insight and I would highly recommend Rune to anyone visiting Bilbao."
