Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Would absolutely recommend this day trip. Excellent value for money. Our guide Borja was very knowledgeable and told us all about the history of the Basque region in a fiercely passionate manner. We learned lots about the history of Bilbao, Gernika and Gaztelugatxe and Bermeo. Gaztelugatxe was beautiful - we hiked to the church where Borja told us about its history and stopped for some photos. We stopped in Bermeo for lunch and Borja gave us great recommendations for lunch. In Gernika we learned all about its history and the history of the Basque people. We have been to Bilbao three times and have enjoyed this tour the most of all. Would absolutely recommend!
Very good tour guide!! Passion for teaching and the region.
