La experiencia fue excelente. Nos encantó descubrir la ciudad de una forma tan amena y completa. La guía, Cezara, explicó todo con mucha claridad, aportando contexto interesante en cada parada. Además, nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones para seguir disfrutando de Bilbao por nuestra cuenta, lo cual se agradece muchísimo. Su cercanía y simpatía hicieron que el tour fuera aún más especial y entretenido. Gracias Cezara Translate this opinion into English.

Bien, sin más. La guía fue muy agradable, pero el tour en sí lo estuvo bastante flojo, hubo mucha anécdota repetida sobre el carácter del bilbaíno y el fútbol, y poco contenido sobre lo que yo hubiera preferido, más datos sobre la ciudad en sí, curiosidades y algún dato histórico. Translate this opinion into English.

Well, nothing more to say. The guide was very nice, but the tour itself was quite lackluster; there were many repeated anecdotes about the character of the people from Bilbao and football, and not enough content about what I would have preferred, more information about the city itself, curiosities, and some historical facts.

Muy buena explicación x guía Andrea, los teatros geniales y una manera fácil de entender la creación de Bilbao. Tour muy bien explicado y una simpatía q se te hace corto dicho tour. Felicitar y agradecer a Andrea como vive la historia familiar vinculada al País Vasco Translate this opinion into English.

Very good explanation by guide Andrea, the theaters are great and an easy way to understand the creation of Bilbao. The tour was very well explained and Andrea's friendliness makes the tour feel short. Congratulations and thanks to Andrea for how she lives the family history linked to the Basque Country.

Paula ha sido una guía magnífica. Nos ha gustado mucho el juego de las cartas y su relación con el significado final de la plaza nueva. Durante toda la visita estuvo acompañando sus explicaciones con elementos gráficos como imágenes que facilitaban el entendimiento de la historia y hacían el tour más entretenido.

Con Ester estuvimos muy bien, se le nota la pasión que le pone a contar bien la historia y que se haga ameno, muy recomendable. Solo que el tour se nos hizo un pelin largo, al ir caminando por las calles durante 2h30 aprox terminamos bastante cansados, pero por lo demás muy bien Translate this opinion into English.

We had a great time with Ester; you can tell she's passionate about telling the story and making it engaging. Highly recommended. The only downside was that the tour felt a little long; walking through the streets for about 2.5 hours left us quite tired, but otherwise, it was excellent. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una ciudad espectacular y estéticamente lindisima. Nos tocó un guía que sabía mucho de historia, fue un placer escucharlo, aprendimos mucho, desde el surgimiento de Bilbao como ciudad industrial con su puerto y sus barcos hasta la transformación al Bilbao ciudad turística que es hoy. A la vez en ese pasaje por la historia y el surgimiento de la ciudad contó cómo surge el Atletic club, como fan del fútbol me gustó que lo incluyera. Súper recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

A spectacular and aesthetically stunning city. We had a guide who was incredibly knowledgeable about history; it was a pleasure listening to him. We learned so much, from Bilbao's origins as an industrial city with its port and ships to its transformation into the tourist destination it is today. He also shared the story of how Athletic Club came to be, which I appreciated as a football fan. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

El día lluvioso no acompañó la actividad, pero nuestro guía tuvo una actitud pesimista y algo negativa al inicio de la actividad que no ayudó. A lo largo de la visita fue mejorado y nos explicó cosas realmente interesante. Me gustaría destacar su capacidad de usar un lenguaje inclusivo durante toda la ruta, su posicionamiento claro y explicito frente a la masificación del turismo y la defensa de las lenguas minoritarias como el euskera. Eskerrik asko.

The rainy day didn't help the activity, but our guide's pessimistic and somewhat negative attitude at the beginning didn't help matters. He improved as the tour progressed and explained some truly interesting things. I'd like to highlight his ability to use inclusive language throughout the tour, his clear and explicit stance against mass tourism, and his defense of minority languages like Basque. Thank you very much.

La guia Alejandra hizo la visita muy amena y la distingue en que a medida que cuenta las historias y leyendas de los lugares, hace participar a gente del grupo como si fuera una obra teatral y a su vez presenta algunos acertijos que se van desvelando a medida que transcurre el itinerario. Muy muy buena. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Alejandra made the visit very enjoyable, and she stands out because as she tells the stories and legends of the places, she involves people from the group as if it were a theatrical performance, and at the same time presents some riddles that are revealed as the itinerary progresses.

Para este tour tuvimos la suerte de contar con Alejandra que es una profesional de los pies a la cabeza y nos hizo el tour muy ameno y agradable. Lo que quizás hubiésemos cambiado es el recorrido por algunas zonas del tour, las cuales no mostraban lo mejor de Bilbao, aun así nos encantó todo lo que nos enseño Alejandra Translate this opinion into English.

For this tour, we were lucky enough to have Alejandra, a true professional who made the tour very enjoyable and pleasant. Perhaps the only thing we would have changed is the route through some areas of the tour, which didn't showcase the best of Bilbao. Even so, we loved everything Alejandra showed us.

Ester supo desde el minuto uno meternos en la historia de la ciudad y vivirla de primera mano.
