Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"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. "
"My family and I really enjoyed our Pintoxs tour with Jessica. She was extremely knowledgeable and took us to many pintoxs bars with freshly made pintoxs. She also suggested some other bars and places to visit while in Bilbao."
"An incredibly fun and delightful experience with Rune leading an informative tour of Bilbao's history, culture and gastronomy. We enjoyed the specialties and experienced the food and environments that we would not have found ourselves. An effective introduction to Basque life and the city. Extra plus to have a dialog from a Danish perspective."
"What a great way to (re)acquaint yourself with Bilbao and experience the local food and drink culture. Tour was at a very busy time, Friday evening at 19:00, but our great guide Laura knew exactly where to go and also gave us a lot of information about the city and life in the city. We really enjoyed it and Laura gave us a lot of great tips for the coming days. Really a super enthusiastic and involved guide! Thanks!!"
"Jessica was presented with an insurmountable task. There was 100,000 drunk Englishman in old town Bilbao. she addressed the situation and with calm and control gave us an exemplary foodie tour. She held our attention as if there was a serene surrounding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. She gave no excuses for the environment and when the tour was over, we were completely satisfied and amazed. Thank you DH."
