Additional Information

Getxo, located within the larger area of Bilbao, is a dynamic township that is known for its captivating waterfront. This municipality gives us a comprehensive insight into the culture and history of Euskal Herria - the core of the Basque community. Our journey commences with the Bizkaia Bridge, colloquially referred to as the Hanging Bridge. This towering structure is not only one of the most significant edifices in Euskal Herria, but also the easiest, most effective way to traverse the estuary to the neighboring municipalities of Santurtzi or Portugalete. Similar to the Eiffel Tower, this bridge has been acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been operational since 1890. The Old Port concludes the tour. This antiquated fishing district is a visually appealing spot where locals congregate to enjoy friendly interactions and local cuisine during the summer months. The visit wraps up in typical Bilbao fashion, with pintxos!! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). ‘Pintxo’ is an embodiment of the local cuisine, a tasty, bite-sized snack.

Getxo City Tour - Javier was an excellent tour guide . He was very knowledgeable about our Getxo City tour , showed us all the historical sights , treated us to a delicious lunch down by the beach , bought us refreshments and answered all of our questions . He even paid for our transportation from Bilbao to Getxo and on are return . He even escorted us directly to our hotel . I would definitely recommend this tour with Javier .

Wish I had seen Getxo! - Did not take it. Trip Advisor sent wrong guide for this tour. And refuse to give me a full refund!. Can't trust Trip Advisor. This is my first time buying tour from Trip Advisor. I bought 3 tours. The first tour was cancelled by Trip Advisor at a last minute, second tour (which is this one). I have one more to go on Tuesday. Will find out whether this will be a third strike!
