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."
"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. "
"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. "
"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. "
"Santiago was a wonderful tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Bilbao and the Guggenheim. The information he presented was very interesting and he kept our kids engaged. We Definitely recommend a tour with Santiago! "
"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 fantastic. We felt we were with a friend on an evening walk about town. Highly recommend touring with Mabel."
"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! "
