"This was our first visit to Bilbao and Joseba was the perfect guide. His communication prior to meeting made it easy for us - 4 NYers. We had a nice mix of history, culture and food. "
"Jesica is a star. Super friendly, great guide and knows all the best food spots in Bilbao. We are veterans of food tours and this is right up there as one best we have done. "
"Jessica was a wonderful tour guide for our trip to the Guggenheim museum. She was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and able to answer all of our questions about the exhibits and building. The three of us enjoyed discussing our different interpretations of the art. I highly recommend Jessica as a tour guide for anyone. "
"Rune took us around the history of Guggenheim as well as Bilbao in a very informative and interesting manner.
We would highly recommend Rune and would not hesitate booking him in for our next visit in Bilbao "
"I booked Santi last minute for my partner’s birthday as another planned activity had been cancelled. Santi was so accommodating in organising a bespoke tour tailored to our interests. The tour itself was perfect for our needs and Santi responded to our interests, questions, and preferences across the afternoon so attentively. Even as we went off piste and fell into conversations about local politics and culture. Santi is wonderfully knowledgeable, charming, and passionate about the city. Not only that but It was like hanging out with an old close friend. "

Eccellent tour!
"Mabel was a great tour guide. Friendly and interesting and we all had a great time!"
"Due to a late arrival in Bilbao on our part and the end of a 10 day long fiesta in Bilbao, we rescheduled our Pinxoa tour to the Monday lunch at Laura’s suggestion. This was brilliant as the massive crowds had well and truly dispersed and even though some of Laura’s favourite bars weren’t open we still had a wonderful experience. We did a bit more exploring, up to the cathedral on the hill after our first Pinxos and then back into town for a couple more bars.
Laura is a warm and friendly host and it was lovely to talk to her about her experiences in moving to Bilbao with her Basque husband 6 years ago.
We would thoroughly recommend Laura as a host as she is also very accommodating in switching plans if need be and she also gave us a great recommendation for dinner on our first night. Traditional Basque food cooked in a lovely low key restaurant in the Old Town. "
"Santiago’s tour of Bilbao was outstanding. We highly recommend his services. He’s a local, smart, and knowledgeable about history, culture, geography, language, politics and food. His awareness of client needs is commendable as he is able to quickly adapt to individual preferences.
He’s well worth the cost associated with a private tour and we would utilize him again. "
"Our family had a magical time with Jessica. She is friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. She made the tour at our pace and encouraged my parents to get a cab when she was worried they couldn’t make it to the next spot. We would absolutely suggest using JESSICA!!!! "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mabel! She was so knowledgeable about local history and took us to some great places for pintxos, based on our preferences. We covered a lot of ground but never felt rushed. We felt this was the perfect way to see and get to know Bilbao! "
