"had a great time trying pintxos with Endika. he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us a lot about not just the food but the Basque culture, history, and language, which we were also interested in. highly recommend. gracias, Endika! "
"Rune was a terrific guide for our bicycle tour and gave us an incredible coverage of the city. We felt we got a great compbination of behind the scenes and off the path as well as a circle of the city. His comments were a wonderful insight and I would highly recommend Rune to anyone visiting Bilbao."
"Joseba is an outstanding guide who more than just being a Bilbao native, he brings the museum and the town to life. His depth of knowledge coupled with his great storytelling make him a perfect person to share his love of his city with you."
"We shared a delightful evening with Laura. We made an instant connection as we are also from Scotland. We visited several bars and tried many of the local foods. There was also lots of insights into the culture and lifestyle of Bilbao."

"Thanks to Jèssica’s introductions to various artists and their works at the Guggenheim Bilbao we have an enhanced understanding of the artists and their works. Jèssica was both very professional and excited about the works. She was easy to talk to, answered questions and invited our opinions. We ended up enjoying the visit with her so much that we went back after lunch to spend some more time with some of our new favorites. Thank you, Jèssica!"
"What a lovely morning we spent walking around Bilbao with such a charming lady . Very engaging and informative without being too heavy with facts . Mabel also helped us with a hotel crisis before we started with the tour . Especially valued the pinxtos and restaurant advise . We followed most of the recommendations and had a some wonderful eating experiences Would thoroughly recommend booking any tour with Mabel "
"Laura was friendly, warm and so easy to talk to. We felt like we were exploring the city with a friend. My mum and I are sensitive to gluten, but Laura was happy to tailor our tour to suit. Sadly for Laura, many of the places she had planned to take us were closed (she couldn't have known) but she did what she could to make sure we still had a great afternoon and we tried some of the beautiful food that Bilbao had to offer. We would take a tour with her again in a heartbeat. "
"My wife & I experienced a wonderful private pintxos walking tour with Laura. We came into the Port of Bilbao on an Oceania cruise ship and met her in the old city at a specified meeting spot. She asked us our food preferences and adapted the tour to them. We sampled at least the amount called for of pintxos and drinks. The pintxos were all excellent! Prior to heading back to the port, we wanted to visit the Guggenheim Museum to check out the architecture and dog topiary. Laura walked there with us as a surprise that we loved We taxied back to the port, completing a wonderful tour of great value. "
"Jessica was delightful. She was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. She listened to our preferences and took us to the best places we never would have tried on our own. "
"Santiago is a wonderful tour guide. He gave us a good history and literal overview of Bilbao from a nearby mountain accessed by telerifico. What great views! And we enjoyed strolls along both sides of the river as we made our way from the Guggenheim to the old town. Thank you Santiago!"
