Three Stars tour, rather superficial learnings. The guide could have been more energetic. All over not too bad if you have 2 hours to fill in your trip.

A great investment!
Tour left bang on time, good mix of nationalities ages and genders. Highly informative and historically evocative. Guide was personable and knowledgeable. He brought us into beautiful buildings we'd passed unknowingly several times. Really worth while

Very informative and excellent orientation
Aug 2022 • Couples
Blisteringly hot day but tour thankfully went at a cool pace and we were able to find plenty of shade.

Very informative tour and we learnt a lot about the history of Bilbao. Very good orientation for more detailed visits during the rest of our stay.

Our guide was clearly very knowledgable and passionate about his city.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Sam, took us off the beaten tracks . We enjoyed the library visit and the market as well. It was relaxing, nicely paced and not too overwhelming with information. Sam was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended 👍🏼

Interesting and informative tour
We took this tour on our first morning in Bilbao as we like to get to know about cities as soon as we can. Sam was at the agreed meeting point on time and gave us an informative and interesting tour of the old town, explaining in particular the history and culture of Bilbao. We enjoyed it and bumped into Sam the next day (and he remembered us).
Thanks Sam

Would not recommend
May 2022 • Couples
We were left rather displeased after this tour. Sam was a kind person but the tour was not cohesive and left us with many questions about the city in general. For a city with so much rich history we learned borderline nothing. The guide was nice but was not personable and didn’t seem excited or proud of his city at all. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Nice walking tour
Apr 2022
Am wondering if there is one Sam or lots of Sams having read reviews. Guide was running late by 15 mins initially, closer to 25 mins by the time he met us. A nice chap but a lot more reserved than many other guides I have had a tour experience with. A nice way of rambling around the city and orientating yourself. Content wise, I was left with more questions than answers I'm afraid but there were a couple of take away snippets so not a total waste of time.
