"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!"

History peppered wth food recommendations
"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. "

Great tour with Santiago!
"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!"
"Our city walking tour with Santi(ago) was perfect. He knows a lot about the history of the city, which is very interesting. Besides his knowledge he is kind and speaks fluently English. I would definitely recommend Santi, you'll have an amazing tour. Thanks again Santi!"
"Very informative visit to the Guggenheim Museum with history of the city, relevant information about the architecture and detailed information about the art! Good tips for further exploring the museum after the tour. Thanks for the great tour, we really enjoyed it. "
"I had a wonderful guided tour of Bilbao with Mabel. She arrived right on time, was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Over the course of the morning, she walked me through the heart of the city, sharing a wealth of historic facts, cultural context, and local insights. It was a relaxed yet engaging experience, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for Bilbao and Basque culture. Highly recommend Mabel to anyone looking for a thoughtful and well-paced introduction to the city.
