More than the Guggenheim - Interesting to learn about the history from our guide, Samuel. There’s more to Bilbao than the Guggenheim!

👍🏼👍🏼 - Turns out i was the only one who booked the Sunday afternoon tour. But still Samuel was very generous with his time and continued. I enjoyed the walk around historical corners of Casco Viejo...a lot. Thank you Samuel. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼

Architecture and History in Context - Our guide Samuel was outstanding. We came to this tour with very little knowledge of Basque history or culture, and Samuel created a historical, political and cultural context for what we saw in the old city. He also helped us understand how the Guggenheim Museum that had attracted us to Bilbao had influenced the development of a 21st century Bilbao. We really appreciated his depth of knowledge and conversational style.

Fun tour in the middle of Fiesta! - It was a good introductory tour of the Old Town with general information about history of Bilbao. Walking around during the Fiesta was extra fun and added authenticity to the experience.

Highly Recommended - Our guide Samuel was knowledgeable and interesting. We learnt quite a bit about the history and geopolitics of the Basque region in general and Bilbao in particular. We visited all the major points of interest in the Casco Vieio (Old Town). It was nice to do the tour with a small group of 6 only.

Basque are proud people with rich traditions and history - Samuel has a wealth of information to share. There is more to Bilbao than the Guggenheim (worth a visit for sure). Basque are proud people with rich traditions and history. Recommend this tour.

Pleasant time and informative - The history of Bilbao could have been done in a more orderly fashion to more clearly understand. The guide was a nice guy.

Okay - Okay tour - our guide was a bit too bookish about the information he was providing. Didn’t really cater to the audience which included 2 teens who quickly got bored.
