Participate in a tour that will alter how you travel to ensure it’s as much about the individuals you encounter, as it is the places you visit.

Knowledgeable Guide - Cristiana gave us a terrific tour of Bilbao on our first full day in town. It was a great overview of the layout of the city with interesting information about the transformation of the city since the opening of the Guggenheim Museum. She was knowledgeable about various subjects and answered so many questions from us! It was so worth it to have someone devoted to our interests and needs- including giving us recommendations for where to eat lunch. She texted with us ahead of time to learn more about our interests and to confirm location and time.

Great Walking Tour - Beatriz was lovely, well prepared for our tour and went out of her way to make it special for us. She met us at our accommodations and gave us a tour of the neighborhood we stayed in. She also highlighted major attractions in an around Bilbao, allowing us to have a good understanding of the city’s layout on arrival. Would use both the company and Beatriz again!

Alejandro was a fantastic... - Alejandro was a fantastic tour guide. He'd arranged a great 2-hr walking route including a trip up the funicular. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed learning about the city's history from him.

Best local tour experience we have ever had! - Katie is the best local tour guide that we have ever had! She is very warm and welcoming. We felt like we had known her forever. She made a conscious effort to arrange the tour for our interests. Her knowledge of the area and the history was superb and presented a most interesting way. At the end of the tour she went above, and beyond to make certain that we found our way to our cruise ship bus. I’d just wish she could be our tour guide in every city that we visit.

Nice stroll but not enough... - The tour was a pleasant stroll across the City. The guide was young and pleasant but lacked enough knowledge of cultural idiosyncrasies. For the fee, we would prefer a more seasoned guide.

Terrible - I would like to clarify that the poor tour guide could not do anything as he was totally incompetent while being a nice guy. I think the company allowing him to do the tour is the one that should be absolutely considered responsible and even the coordination before was terrible. I am thinking never to use Viator anymore as in Bilbao 2 out of 2 were terrible experiences and one quite expensive
