5.00Our tour guide, Alejandro was in constant contact with us prior to the meeting. It was easy to find him by the Guggenheim Museum. He even brought us a little gift. The tour was very informative and tailored to our interests. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city of Bilbao. He had a great sense of humor as well. He was very caring and obviously enjoyed being a guide and we enjoyed having him as our guide. We highly recommend!
Beware - Guide leaves group too early!

3.00Manuel was competent and friendly; unfortunately he left us already 20 min (!) before the agreed and paid 2 hours in a hurry - a next tour has been waiting.. We found this very disappointing for € 358.- ( 4 pers. ), will also report this to our friends , who are on their way to Bilbao..
Best tour in Balboa - Robin is fabulous 🤩

3.00Our guide was a nice person but his English was very difficult to understand. One would assume that at this price point a good English would be a requirement ?

5.00The local guide was so knowledgeable. Obviously knew and loved the city. 2 hour private walking tour took us to all parts of the city. Loved it.
Did not meet our expectations.

3.00This unfortunately did not meet our expectations. I know it was a customized tour but we know nothing of Bilbao and just paid someone to show us the highlights , the communities and explain the history in a 3 hour tour. We wandered. Saw communities but got few details. As for history well we could have read most of it online from Wikipedia . She kept asking what we wanted to do but did not deliver on any topic. We had great tours in San Sebastián and Santiago de Compostela. This one was not worth the money.
Excellent Walking Tour

5.00Alejandro was great! He walked us through the newer parts of Bilbao and ended in Old City at the Ribera Market so we could grab a glass of wine and a snack We always do a private two hours with a lical on coming to a new city. Its the best way to get oriented.
Helpful and Knowledgeable
