Explore Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka, Gernika and a txakoli winery from Bilbao on a full-day Basque Country tour.
“Our trip was absolutely amazing. It was the best 50 euros I ever spent. Definitely worth your money, especially if you want to travel to these places and don’t have a car or don’t want to rent one. The private bus transfer took us to 5 different locations throughout our day and we were exausted by the end. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Our tour only had 15 people so it was great to get to know the other people on the tour as well. Highly recommend!!!”

Review of Bilbao’s 6-hour Gaztelugatxe, Mundaka, and Gernika tour, with coastal views, Basque history, practical hiking tips, and value advice.
“It was a rainy day but we had a great time. Adur shared his knowledge of the Basque culture and history; we especially enjoyed his stories and answers to my/our numerous questions. The sites were amazing and seeing Guernica at this time in our history was a sobering reminder of man’s ability to destroy one another. On the return we were delayed by traffic congestion due to at least one large accident; having a driver that knew the local roads was an added bonus and provided a chance for us to see even more of the area!!”

Cruise from Bilbao to Abra Bay for Guggenheim, Bizkaia Bridge, Getxo, and Santurtzi views, with audio guide and indoor or outdoor seating.
“Best way to see parts of Bilbao that even the locals have never seen. Great history lesson either on the speakers in the boat or on audio but you’ll need to bring your own earphones. Bring a coat or jacket as can get chilly depending on the weather. Sat at the back but too many fumes that after a while became overpowering. Sat at the front and no fumes but a little windy and chilly especially as you get out towards the sea. Fumes also indoor but just open the sliding windows and it cancels it out. Pleasant way to spend 2h 45min and keep you out of the shops,…”
