Our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly and had some great insight into spanish history, politics, and geography which made the tour with him absolutely worth it. We weren’t able to climb up to the chapel but our guide made sure we got the best views and went out of his way to show us more spots in Guernica so we could get our trip’s worth. Highly recommend if you’re in Bilbao and have some free time!

BREATH TAKING EXPERIENCE ! This tour enables you to see some UNREAL views from the beautiful coast ! Our guide, Stephan, is extremely knowledgeable and really makes sure you learn everything you have to of each place, as well as making sure he answers any quesitons you may have. All timing was perfect in each place we visited (Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo & Gernika), with Gaztelugatxe being the main place of course. We also booked another tour with Stephan (La Rioja & Vitoria) and is was just as amazing !

Our guide Estephan was one of the best guides we have every had. We got of to a little bit of a late start waiting for two people to arrive. But Estaphan more than made up for it. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to accommodate everyone.
