Bilbao is worth it - Very good experience. The tour is very enjoyable and the guide (Ibon) is excellent. The two hours flew by. The tour of the old neighborhood of Bilbao is spectacular.

informative - We enjoyed the tour with Sam, he explained a lot of history to put us in context and place ourselves in the different situations that Bilbao went through. Additional to this, many curious facts that contain urban local stories and legends.
