Nice Village for a one day trip from Bilbao

5.00We went on our own by Euskotrain from Bilbao to Bermeo upon suggestion from person at the Tourist Office. Very small village with fishers' and touristic harbour. Few sites to see. An organized tour may be needed to reach San Juan de Gaztelugatxe more conveniently than with public transportation.

5.00It involved a lot of walking up and down on a paved path and steps. Great views! We had very knowledgeable guide Aitor with STI company.
Fun and educational small group tour of Gaxtelguatxe, Seemed, and Guernica

5.00Fantastic tour to the area around Bilbao. We highly recommend Stefane and his tour company for this excellent small group tour! Stefane was very knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining and he went out of his way to explain everything in English and Spanish. We learned a lot but also had enough free time to hike Gaxtelguatxe, explore Bermeo, and get a taste of Guernica. We strongly recommend this tour if you will be in Bilbao for a few days.

4.00Good informative tour with a multilingual guide. Francisco worked with us when it looked like one of us might not make it back to the bus on schedule at one of the stops (we made it just a few minutes late!). No time allowed to grab more than a quick bite even though the tour ran from early morning to mid-afternoon.
More like transport only than a guided tour

2.00Minimal English input from the guide. Its more like transport only and fill in background info yourself. Compared with other groups we met aling the way, this is way below srandard. Not recommended.

4.00The stop to the castle should be longer. An extra 15-20 minutes would be great. Suggestions on where to go for a quick bite in Bermeo would be helpful. The guide struggled with English and often ended his sentences and thoughts in Spanish. The Spanish speakers definitely got more education than the English speakers.
Just a stop to San Juan de G.

3.00Experience was positive for San Juan de Guax. You barely get to see Bermeo and Gernika…for both stops you get off the bus, listen to the tour guide talk for 15 minutes and get back on the bus. Not much of a visit. So the day trip itself quite short and you only spend time in the first stop.
Excellent tour, exercise, history, beautiful nature

5.00Stephanie our guide was amazing, he did all the hiking up and down and even cheering the team. He is very knowledgeable and manage both languages English and Spanish perfectly not to miss a detail. I highly recommend this tour. Yvon the driver was very kind and patient with the group.
Was unable to go on this tour, but the company did not help.
