Our take
It makes sense for families or groups who want to go at their own pace and pick what to see, especially as the per-person price is reasonable for a private tour. The rating is a little lower than other Bilbao tours, so be clear about your interests when the guide gets in touch.
What's included
- Private tour for your group only
- Personalised route
- Pickup from your accommodation if it is in Bilbao
- Help booking tickets for any visits you want
Not included

- Food and drinks
- Tips

Good to know
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes
Things to keep in mind
- Monuments are seen from outside unless you ask to include a museum
- If you want to visit a museum, say so in advance; tickets are extra
Meeting point
Your accommodation in Bilbao.
Your guide contacts you before the tour to learn your interests and arrange to meet at your accommodation.
The experience
What you will see
- The Bilbao must-sees you choose, from outside.
- Corners and venues your guide knows that are not in the guidebooks.
- Tips for eating and getting around for the rest of your stay.
How it works
Before the tour your guide gets in touch to find out what interests you. On the day they pick you up at your accommodation and you walk the city for two hours, just your group, following the route you agreed. If you want to go inside a museum, say so in advance.
Who I recommend it for
- Families and groups who want to set their own pace.
- Anyone with specific interests (architecture, history, food).
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone wanting a tour with tickets included.
