Discover the Basque region that surrounds Bilbao called Biscay (Bizkaia in Basque language) during a full-day trip from San Sebastian. Fall in love with the charming 10th century hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and climb its 241 stairs to get to the top and enjoy its magnificent views. Game of Thrones' 7th season was shot here, so find yourself at Dragonstone!

After recovering from the steep path from the hermitage, head to Bilbao (the financial capital of the Basque Country) and get a glimpse of the architectural and traditional beauties of this wonderful city, including Guggenheim Museum.

    An hours drive from San Sebastián. The trek to gaztelugatxe is beautiful but steep. Be prepared with good shoes & water! Bilboa walking tour was interesting. Crowded city streets. Guggenheim museum is modern art & a treat for your eyes. The building itself is beautiful. Our local guide was outstanding giving insight on the area

    We had an incredible day visiting Gaztelugatxe, Bilbao Old Town, and the Guggenheim. The landscapes at Bakio were stunning and the walk out the church is absolutely worth the trek. Bilboa is a charming city and the Guggenheim is truly one of a kind! Thanks to our guide Adur, who was welcoming, funny, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He helped make this day one we will never forget!

    We had a great day with Andrea, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic when sharing information with us. We shared a lovely pintxo lunch and great conversation with our group. Bilbao and the Guggenheim were wonderful. Recommend this tour!

    We had a wonderful time! Our guide Paul was friendly, patient and had good command of the English language. He explained the culture of the Basque people and food. Our climb to G. Was exhilarating and quite a challenge! Then we had lunch in Bilboa (delicious variety of local food) and saw several landmarks. Then we headed to the Guggenheim museum and our guide gave us time to explore the inside and out. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Paul even gave us lunch and dinner recommendations. I highly recommend this tour. The scenery was breathtaking and our guide made us feel welcome and didn’t rush us.

  • Great one day adventure
