10 Tastings in Bilboa
"We chose the 10 Tastings in Bilbao in order to learn more about the local culture and foods. Laura was our guide and could not have done a better job. She treated us like family, taught us about the local foods, and was very patient with our slower style of movement. She thought of everything as our food tour progressed from breakfast type foods to more hearty dishes. She even brought an extra umbrella for us to use since we were visiting from a cruise ship. Realizing our time was limited because of the cruise, Laura took us to the Guggenheim and assisted with a taxi back to our ship. These are things that were not part of the tour, but shows the passion Laura has for people. I highly recommend her as your next guide. She was amazing!"

Great pinxtos tour in Bilbao
"We had a fantastic tour with Adrià. He took us to some great food places and we had an excellent variety of food and drink. He was very knowledgeable about the area and very keen to share that and wider social information. Adrià is very passionate and proud of being Basque and that perspective was really interesting. He was a very good host and ambassador for the city, pointing us in lots of directions for the rest of our time here. "

Endika was wonderful
"There were 4 in our group from Ireland. Endika was a wonderful guide. So knowledgable and passionate about his home city and gave us a great tour. We learned such a lot. We walked and ate and drank local food snd drinks. He told us about everything he close for us snd was very generous to us. I hope we meet him again and I’d recommend him anytime. "

Outstanding
"As it was our first time in Bilbao we wanted to get an overview of the people and places. Laura surpassed our expectations and went above and beyond by contacting us before and after the tour. Laura was keen to know our specific needs to ensure we got the very best out of the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and this was largely down to Laura’s enthusiasm, knowledge and personality. Laura also provided useful tips and recommendations for the remainder of our stay in Bilbao. We would highly recommend the tour and Laura in particular "

Great experience!
"We had a bike trip with guide Joseba on our first day in Bilbao. It was the best guided tour we ever had. Joseba knows a lot about culture, history, nice food spots, hidden gems, sports, … . Whatever you want to know, he can tell you more. It felt like we were on a bike tour with a friend and the trip passed by really quick. We highly recommend a trip with him, as he is a really passionate guide! "
