Our take
This is not a classic monuments tour but a walk with someone from Bilbao who shows you the city from the inside and leaves you a list of places for the rest of your trip. Check the cancellation policy carefully, as the provider’s description is stricter than the platform’s.

- Hidden corners that locals frequent.
- Tips on where to eat, wander or shop for the rest of your trip.
How it works
The guide, a Bilbao resident, picks you up in Plaza Moyúa at the time you agree. There is no fixed route: for two hours you walk wherever interests you most, just your group, chatting as you would with a friend who lives in the city.

- Families or couples who prefer a guide to themselves.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone after a structured monuments tour with tickets included.
