Outstanding, pleasant walking tour - This tour is excellent. Beatriz was really engaging and gave us a great insight into the old town area and aspects of its history with lots of helpful pointers to making the most of all the fascinating district has to offer. We’d heartily recommend this tour at the start of a stay in Bilbao.

This was a walking trip of the Old Town only - I believe the description of the trip was misleading as there was no visiting of new town only the old town.

No show by vendor - Vendor never showed up at the meeting spot. Rain could have resulted in their not showing up. Call Vitor but little help in getting in touch with vendor
