About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- amandaberwick20170 contributionsHighly recommendedThank you so much Jose for a wonderful day in your company. We totally enjoyed our relaxed tour of Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka, and Guernica - you gave such insight into the way of life here. I agree with those that wrote before me - you have certainly found your vocation in life. We appreciated your flexibility during the day - especially our stop by the Guggenheim museum. I would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone - great communication, lovely itineraries, great English language and a total gentleman. Thank you so muchWritten July 29, 2024
- 950alanc0 contributionsExcellent Day OutMy wife and I enjoyed a fabulous day out from around the Bizkaia coast courtesy of Jose on Monday 15 April 2024. He kindly met us near our apartment in Bilboa. We visited San Juan de Gaztulegatxe (SJ de G), the lighthouses at Matxitxako, the beautiful seaside towns of Bermeo and Mandaka, as well as the historic town of Guernika. Jose was excellent. He provided useful insight and was great company. His English was very good as we spoke very little spanish. Jose recommended a Basque restaurant in Bermeo for lunch which was delicious and great value. Overall we thought that the trip was brilliant and an excellent way of getting to places that would otherwise require a lot of pre-planning. Thank you Jose for ensuring we had a wonderful day and for creating fond memories.Written April 15, 2024
- rob480 contributionsExcellent experience.Wonderful personal tour from Jose. Exactly as described. We learnt so much about the area. Great value. A memorable experienceWritten October 5, 2023
- bostonian0 contributionsSeriously unmissable tourThe sights on this tour just blew us away. Basque country is really something else. And my husband and I are so happy to have been on this tour with Jose as our guide. First of all, he knows the area and its history inside-out. We enjoyed learning about the culture and people and way of life from him. He took extra time to stop and show us everything we were interested in and went seamlessly from one place to the next without rushing anywhere. What is extra special is that he offered up front to take multiple pictures of me and my husband at the various places we visited and sent them to us. So great because otherwise we would have only had selfies. Also special because this was an anniversary trip. We hope to come back to the Basque country and explore more with Jose.Written September 8, 2023
- 519marikal0 contributionsBeautiful tourAmazing personnalized trip! Jose wants you to have the best day and the best memories. Would highly recommand!Written July 20, 2023
- mpq_domanski0 contributionsWorthwhile introduction to Basque history, nature and cultureWe took two trips with this agency - both very comfortable, interesting and well organised. Excellent communication prior to trip. If you like visiting also not obvious places individually, with no rush but getting acquainted with local gems we strongly recommend Juan Luis.Written July 17, 2023
- mpq_domanski0 contributionsWorth seeingStrongly recommend to take the opportunity to see inland landscapes quite different from the seaside. Great views, interesting small villages and very good commentary from the guide - and the beech forest - magical... And the tour organised very professionally.Written July 17, 2023
- josepO4740KB0 contributionsGreat Experience!!!Great Experience!!! We booked two tours with Jose Luis in December 2022 (Route of the Coast and Walking Tour in Bilbao) and the experience with him was the highlight of our trip. Not only did we visit many beautiful places, but we also learned a lot from his knowledge and the passion and pride he has for his country. In addition to the tours and information provided, Jose Luis always looked for photo opportunities, which he sent to us immediately, that we took back as memories for that wonderful experience. But most important is how Jose Luis made us feel during our time with him. Immediately after meeting him, we felt as if we had known him forever. I can honestly say I feel I now have a good friend in Bilbao. Next time I am in Bilbao I will probably hire Jose Luis again but for sure I will invite him and his family to dinner.Written January 12, 2023
- 662keesv0 contributionsLittle gemSometimes in your travels you run into something special, Bizkaia Maite Tours was one of them. Jose Louis, who runs this company together with his daughter, gave us a wonderful day in the Basque Country. He reacts quickly on messages, works in small groups (we were with only three persons), has an excellent knowledge of the region, with more than enough humor and that all within a good price quality ratio. Thank you Jose Louis for a perfect day !Written October 14, 2022
- joyhuber130 contributionsGreat guide for these sitesI really enjoyed the sights and my guide José. He was a pleasure to talk to and very knowledgeable. The rock of San Juan Gaztelugatxe was special. Bermejo and gernika were also worth itWritten May 16, 2022

Great day spent with a local guide! Jose picked us up from the hotel and took us on the journey, that we will remember forever! Small towns, no crowds, local restaurant for lunch, beautiful views, lot of history, great stories. It felt like a day spent with a long time friend! Private tours can not compete with group tours! The price was reasonable, very reasonable for the amount of information, attention and time Jose dedicated to just two of us! He is busy for a reason! Loved every minute of it! Don’t miss out on your opportunity to schedule your Coast of Biscay Day.

What a fantastic time! I would highly recommend this excursion for anybody but especially those that have a few hours and an interest in immersing themselves in the Basque culture and some of the wonderful sights in the countryside around Bilbao.
Jose, our tour operator, was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Our conversation topics spanned the spectrum from culture to history to politics. His observations were insightful and provocative, informed as they were by the interactions with many international travelers.
This excursion more than exceeded our expectations. Bravo!

My friend and I had a wonderful day with Jose Luis! In fact, this was the highlight of our two-week trip to the region. We are so glad we arranged for an extra day in Bilbao so that we could take this tour.
Jose was informative, entertaining, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and helpful. He even took pictures of us throughout the day and sent them to us.
We loved our day and know you will too!

We had a great time with Jose our guide for the day. Be aware that it’s a long day with some serious walking involved but if you’re reasonably fit it’s well worth it & good value.
Would highly recommend.

We went on a day trip to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka and Guernika with José Luis. He is a very safe driver and entertaining guide. He’s very well acquainted with anything related to the area of Bizkaia, el País Vasco and its history, and mostly you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. He tailors his tours on the customers and never rushes you on the way. He even took loads of beautiful pics of us in the best spots and sent them to us in the evening! This was a really nice treat for us. He was always ready to answer our questions, but he was never intrusive. We enjoyed his company and the spectacular little gems he showed us. Thank you José Luis!

Wow! what an amazing tour. Jose is such a great tour guide who clearly loves his region and wishes to share its' beauty with others. A truly unique and personal experience which you won't forget. Jose and his daughter are so knowledgable about the area and nothing is too much trouble for them. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with them and would have loved to do their other tours which I am sure are just as amazing. I think the only other thing Jose is as passionate about as the Basque region is the Beatles!

This tour with José was simply the best! All the other reviews more than reflected our experience. José was delightful, enthusiastic, thoughtful and his knowledge of this region was exemplary. We came away having not only visited the most beautiful places, Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka, but also Guernica, which only left us wanting to learn more about the Basque Country and culture in future. This was a very special day which we will remember and treasure. Thank you José, you have found your vocation, making people happy! Sorry we can’t give you more than five stars!

Incredible tour, with a wonderful host. Jose showed us the beauty of the biscay coast with a personal touch. The San Juan is amazing even in the rain but we also really enjoyed being in Bermeo and Gernika. Would definitely recommend, would never have explored the places he showed us without him!

A really wonderful way to spend a day. José is an excellent guide, and a very safe driver. My wife has trouble with too many steps, and José took great care to avoid them when possible. He tailored the tour to our needs, and we never felt rushed. We had lively, interesting conversations the entire time, and felt like we were with an old friend. This is a beautiful and interesting part of the world, and there is no better way to see it. We wholeheartedly recommend José and the Coast of Biscay!

A punctual, funny, kind and well organised guide of incredible sites. We learned a lot of the Basque Country and its people that we wouldn’t otherwise have. Hands down the best tour that we’ve ever done. Thanks José Luis for your unique and personal touch.
