Great walking tour - Inego was a fantastic guide. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and proud of his city. He showed us places off the beaten track and made sure we didn't miss anything about the architecture, history and culture of the Old Town of Bilbao. Highly recommend this walking tour.

Fun way to know Bilbao’s history - Samuel, was such a great guide! He explained us the history of Bilbao and took us back in history throughout the streets of Casco viejo! He was very patient and kind to everyone in the group. He made sure no one was left behind in the group!

A good way to see old Bilbao - It was a good tour to orient to the old town. Having done many walking tours I think it is important to be aware of the original instructions eg a grey hat was on our instructions so we can find the guide amongst the others. The guide did not have a hat or marker eg coloured umbrella and he should introduce himself and the rest of the group and give a brief outline and timespan. Our guide was good but the tour could have been better. Compared to the many others we have done it was a little ordinary. Bilbao is very interesting
