This is an excellent half-day trip out of Bilbao. Our guide Joserra did an excellent job! He was very knowledgeable and efficient. Even though the stops at Mundaka and Guernica were short, it was still worthwhile.

This was a well organised and well communicated trip right from the start. Clear information and updates regarding pickup and the driver being delayed in traffic for 10 mins. The trip itself was tailored to the group to an extent which was also good. Recommended !

The ad was very clear. Good communication before the trip, answering any questions I had. Pick up from my hotel was very convenient. Our guide, Pilar, was lovely - informative, helpful & fun. The places we visited were incredible - of course the monastery by the sea (wow) but Mundaca and Guernika were also beautiful, as were the routes we took to them. There were some stunning coastal & countryside views. Pilar dropped us back at our hotels (all very eell organised) & I had fun with the group. Eskerrik asko, Pilar!

Our guide Joseba was on time, courteous, and as a local, very knowledgeable about the Basque region and its history. The sites visited were gorgeous and full of history.

We had a wonderful time on our tour! We really enjoyed the walk up to Gaztelugatze and exploring Mundaka and Gernika. Joserra was a great tour guide and we learned a lot about Basque history. Highly recommend if you’re staying in Bilbao!

Wonderful! One of our favorite tours we have ever had. Simply beautiful! One comment would be to add a structured bathroom break as covered slot of ground. Guide was so friendly and informative. He accommodated our back to cruise ship time easily.

Reena_G

Great tour would recommend as Gaztelugatxe was amazing but you need good stamina for the incline to walk down to seafront but definitely worth the views.

Thank you Victoria! Very nice and friendly guide, took us to Mundaka and Guernica. She's a local and really helped us connect with the culture in Biscaya

Even though it was raining heavily it was fantastic. Basically the weather made this mystic GOT feeling. I suggest dressing up with really good shoes, take a good rain poncho with you (the guide is well prepared with festival ponchos) and you should Not be a couch potatoe Person so that you can get up easily. Makingg more stops would be Great to take pics but also to inhale this incredible atmosphere. But with heavy rain you have to decide whether Go ahead or getting wet ☺️ Our guide Adur had incredible Historie knowledge and was fantastic in Storytelling. The small group of 5 was also fine. Highly recommaned!

Amazing places. Best day of our trip. Our guide, Pillar, was very instructive and helpful. We just needed a bit more time at Mundaka because this place was awesome.
