Jimmi's day trip to Bilbao was the highlight of our time in the Basque country.
For us, the day trip is the perfect amount of time. Jimmi is really knowledgeable, personable and well-spoken. On our walk through Bilbao, not only did we see what was on the itinerary, but we also went into a couple of his favorite spots for some Bilbao fudge and pintxos which we loved. We really enjoyed this day trip because it gave us the highlights of Bilbao with great company.
My husband and I can't wait to come back and take another tour with him!

Since we arrived in Spain nearly 2 weeks ago, we have participated in several tours as we traveled across Spain. All very enriching, insightful, and worth while. As the cliché goes “save the best for last!”
Jamie, tour operator/owner, picked us up bright and early from our hotel and off we went to Bilbao. Jamie brought along his cousin/operator in training, which we were totally cool with and actually it added another level to the tour. Compared to our other tours, they ultimately felt, for the like of a better word, like tours. You were paying someone to show you around. There was some invisible boundary that separated operator from client, totally fine but it feels fake sometimes. This tour felt different, it felt like a couple friends taking a road trip from San Sebastián to Bilbao. One of the friends being really knowledgeable, Jamie. One of the friend working off that energy, Jaime cousin. The other friends going along for the ride, us. It was refreshing and fantastic.
Having conversations as we drove between the two cities made the time whiz by so quickly. That’s a plus! Normally, one of us, fiancé or I, are falling asleep as we get to a destination. Not this time around, Jaime and his cousin were really engaging.
Admittedly, I had some doubts that we wouldn’t get a breathe of Bilbao in a day but, I have to be honest, we really felt like we got immersed in the city. He guided us through the streets and history. Showed us local spots and let us on our own at the Guggenheim to take in the art. Afterwards we chatted our way back to our hotel. We could have hung out with both Jaime and his cousin all day. Next time, we are back in town, we will take him up on one of his other tours. Highly recommend having him show you around. Super knowledge and engaging. I can not recommend this tour any higher.

We loved Bilbao, it’s a beautiful city with amazing gastronomy and the tour was great, we had the Guggenheim paid for and enjoyed some great pintxos in the plaza nueva.
Thanks Jimi, we highly recommend your tours!!
