"I had a wonderful guided tour of Bilbao with Mabel. She arrived right on time, was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Over the course of the morning, she walked me through the heart of the city, sharing a wealth of historic facts, cultural context, and local insights. It was a relaxed yet engaging experience, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for Bilbao and Basque culture. Highly recommend Mabel to anyone looking for a thoughtful and well-paced introduction to the city.

"We had a great walk around Bilbao with Daria. She is very knowledgeable and had ton of stories. Daria was able to answer all of our questions and patiently accommodated our walk for us - we had a 1.5 year baby with us. She really loves the city and had a ton of recommendations for great places.
I totally recommend to book this tour with her!"
"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. "
"Joseba knows a lot about his city and he could answer all our questions.
We highly recommend to book a Tour with him"

A beautiful afternoon tailor made for us
"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. "

Review about Santiago
"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!!!! "
"My wife and I combined the Hidden Gems Tour with a Guggenheim visit with Jessica and had the most delightful time. We started in the old city. Jessica wove wonderful tales of history and Basque culture as we trod the cobbled streets. So many centuries of amazing history of the Basque people ! We tasted amazing food, saw unique architecture and listened to the joyous energy of Casco Viejo. We then ventured across the river to the bustling modern portion of the city where we enjoyed fabulous pintxos, then headed toward the Guggenheim. At the Museum, Jessica was exquisitely detailed in her explanations of design and construction of the museum. She offered insightful interpretations of the exterior works. Her discussion of the meaning of the giant spider made it seem not so scary. Inside the museum, her interpretations of the exhibits brought us much fuller understandings of the art and the artists. Jessica's English was excellent and her mood bouyant. This was definitely a high point of our trip to Spain.

"We really enjoyed our walking tour of the old and new town. We learned the history and saw sights we never would have discovered. She also send us a great list of other things to see and do. Thank you Jessica for a wonderful tour. Your English is excellent 👌"
"To walk to the city and learn about its history was terrific. Mabel is very knowledgeable and showed us many details that we would not have seen otherwise. And she has a good sense of humor. Therefore we enjoyed it very much. Her German is outstanding."
