We had a fabulous time learning about the history of Bilbao while eating the most amazing foods. The fried calamari sandwich and tortilla were the highlights. Our tour guide was friendly and engaging.

We truly enjoyed our afternoon with Josu. During our first full day in Bilbao, Josu expertly showed us how to make the most of the experience, but also managed to weave in stories of the culture and history of this beautiful place. He was a delightful, passionate guide and we really enjoyed our day with him!
Wonderful evening - delicious and informative, led by Adela who really loves this town!

We had a great experience with Kaya and Avella, our guides. They were very knowledgeable, personable and helpful. We enjoyed local food, wine, and cheeses from 5 different bars/shops and visited the huge market in the old city. Lots of history was shared with us as we walked around the old city! I highly recommend this tour…get Kaya and/or Avella to show you around!
