    Did not take it. Trip Advisor sent wrong guide for this tour. And refuse to give me a full refund!. Can't trust Trip Advisor. This is my first time buying tour from Trip Advisor. I bought 3 tours. The first tour was cancelled by Trip Advisor at a last minute, second tour (which is this one). I have one more to go on Tuesday. Will find out whether this will be a third strike!

    It is the oldest conveyor bridge in the world and is still functioning. The shuttle carries both cars and passengers, the crossing takes two minutes and the cost of the ticket is negligible. Inside the two pylons, two elevators have been installed and, once at the top, you can walk along the deck platform and admire the bay and the ocean. In addition, the area does not offer much, but the bridge is well connected to the center of Bilbao by the metro that travels above ground from the outskirts of the city and along the way you have the opportunity to see how the economic crisis has marked Spain.

    At 13 metro stops you reach Puertogalete where the Nerviòn River joins the Ocean. In this small town in 1893 the first bridge was inaugurated that transports people and vehicles from one bank to the other. The Vizcaya Bridge (dangle bridge) is 51 meters high and 164 meters long. The crossing lasts two minutes and gives a memorable emotion. Even more exciting is the 45-meter-high walking crossing, but to climb to the upper path, there are endless queues because, to reach the top there is only one elevator that has limited spaces. Since 2006 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
