Experience the best of
Bilbao with Withlocals

"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 ."

"Endika is a pro level guide who really brought the Basque culture to life. He is personable and energetic with great English stills. We started off with a brief history lesson and then we had sights explained to us that would be missed if you just wondered around on your own. This was a fun and informative tour. Not all guides are the same and our time was limited so just go for the best. "

"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"

" We had a wonderful experience with Endika in Bilbao through Withlocals. He was incredibly personable and easy to spend time with—right away it felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a formal tour. What really stood out was how knowledgeable he is. He brought the city to life, not just with history, but with context—culture, daily life, and the little details you’d never pick up on your own. He’s also very well traveled, which made conversations flow naturally into all kinds of topics beyond Bilbao. It never felt scripted. We appreciated how flexible and engaging he was, always open to questions and happy to go deeper wherever our curiosity led. It was one of those experiences that made the city feel more personal and meaningful. Highly recommend spending time with him if you’re in Bilbao."

"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."

"had a great time trying pintxos with Endika. he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us a lot about not just the food but the Basque culture, history, and language, which we were also interested in. highly recommend. gracias, Endika! "

"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."

"Joseba is an outstanding guide who more than just being a Bilbao native, he brings the museum and the town to life. His depth of knowledge coupled with his great storytelling make him a perfect person to share his love of his city with you."

"We shared a delightful evening with Laura. We made an instant connection as we are also from Scotland. We visited several bars and tried many of the local foods. There was also lots of insights into the culture and lifestyle of Bilbao."

"Thanks to Jèssica’s introductions to various artists and their works at the Guggenheim Bilbao we have an enhanced understanding of the artists and their works. Jèssica was both very professional and excited about the works. She was easy to talk to, answered questions and invited our opinions. We ended up enjoying the visit with her so much that we went back after lunch to spend some more time with some of our new favorites. Thank you, Jèssica!"
