About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sharonbader0 contributionsWorth the costGreat experience. Javi brought the museum alive and gave us more depth to the experience that we otherwise would not have had. We are not art people so his explanations really brought the experience alive. As a local he also gave us insight to the importance of the Guggenheim to the vitality of Bilbao.Written October 19, 2024
- W7572QTbrigittem0 contributionsGreat experience of Guggenheim with XavierXavier Conde Martínez was a wonderful guide with a lot of Knowledge and engagement! He guided us in and out Guggenheim. It was a great experience with him and we learnt a lot! Xavier was very friendly at all times and it was pure pleasure to spent the time with him!Written September 15, 2024
- Renee1380 contributionsInformativeJavier was an excellent guide. We were very pleased we booked this tour as we got far more from the experience than if we had visited by ourselves. Javier showed us the best pieces, provided excellent explanations, and highlighted other exhibitions we could see independently after his 2.5hr tour had ended. I would recommend this experience.Written July 7, 2024
- helencF2026PD0 contributionsExcellent experience!An excellent tour. Our guide Vanessa was incredibly informative and helpful, full of good humour and enthusiasm. The tour started outside viewing the external sculptures and structure of the museum, then moved inside to view installations on the first floor and pop art exhibitions on the third floor. We were free to re-enter the museum for the whole day so we left for lunch and returned to view exhibitions on second floor in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend.Written June 11, 2024
- Susan C0 contributionsFantastic Tour!Javi, our guide, was extraordinary. He shared the fascinating story of the museum and his expertise as an art historian made the collection come alive. It was a wonderful experience that we will long remember!Written May 28, 2024
- williambI9015KN0 contributionsJavi’s tourThe building is stunning , the story behind it even more so. The content is amazing however again made so much more fascinating with Javi as guide.

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!

We are sorry for the inconvenience. But you booked a visit without private transportation and you wanted private transportation for the entire tour because you were with people who couldn't walk well, without notifying the company. I also wanted to enter places with a car that a vehicle cannot access.
We are sorry but you communicated everything to the guide and not to the company and in a very bad way with the guide.
