Paul was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable, helpful and engaging. The trip was very well planned - we got to see so many things without feeling too rushed. A great experience!

Alby (our Aussie Guide) was amazing. He gave us the best tour of Bilbao and Gaztelugatxe. My best friend and I had the blast especially during lunch. Great conversations along the way and learned a lot about Basque region. Alby was on-time, accommodating, and very charming. What a host! We can’t thank him enough for this trip. Tips: make sure to wear a comfortable clothing, walking/hiking shoes, a hat, and a bottled water for Gaztelugatxe. Even though the day we went was overcast, it got pretty warm during the hike. Bring your sunscreen, sunnies and some small snacks if you’re diabetic. Lastly, have a light breakfast before you go since you do not eat until lunch time.

We had a great experience on our tour! Our guide, Eva Robles, was exceptional—her enthusiasm and sense of humor made the trip so much fun. She took us on a fantastic tour of Bilbao, sharing fascinating insights and hidden gems along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.
