This was our first visit to Bilbao and Joseba was the perfect guide. His communication prior to meeting made it easy for us - 4 NYers. We had a nice mix of history, culture and food. Amazing day with a passionate guide!

We loved our tour with Joseba. He knows so much about Bilbao and the Basque history. He pointed out the best places to eat Pinxtos and where to buy sweet specialities like the Bollo de Mantequilla. Also his story about the Guggenheim was very interesting. So, when in Bilbao: go with Joseba! When in Bilbao go with Joseba!

We had a wonderful Pintxo tour with Laura in Bilbao. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city and out of the way places for great pintxos and drinks. She also tailored our tour to our tastes in food/wine and our interests in the city. Finally, she gave us a whole set of suggestions on what to do in and around Bilbao on the next dayDelightful evening in Bilbao

Due to a late arrival in Bilbao on our part and the end of a 10 day long fiesta in Bilbao, we rescheduled our Pinxoa tour to the Monday lunch at Laura’s suggestion. This was brilliant as the massive crowds had well and truly dispersed and even though some of Laura’s favourite bars weren’t open we still had a wonderful experience. We did a bit more exploring, up to the cathedral on the hill after our first Pinxos and then back into town for a couple more bars. Laura is a warm and friendly host and it was lovely to talk to her about her experiences in moving to Bilbao with her Basque husband 6 years ago. We would thoroughly recommend Laura as a host as she is also very accommodating in switching plans if need be and she also gave us a great recommendation for dinner on our first night. Traditional Basque food cooked in a lovely low key restaurant in the Old Town. What a magnificent host Laura is!

We hebben een leuke energieke tour gemaakt met Joseba. Hij vertelde ons enthousiast over de cultuur van pinxtos eten en de passende drankkeuze, waaronder cider. En wij genoten van het eten en drinken. Daarnaast wist hij op al onze vragen antwoord te geven en mooie achtergrondverhalen te vertellen. Goede energie, veel gezeliigheid.

We had a wonderful experience with Joseba in Bilbao! He was a local and also deeply knowledgeable. It showed in the way he introduced the city to us, locating it in history and geography and crafting the walk accordingly. Once he gauged our degree of interest and level of knowledge, he picked up on our questions and added further interesting information. After a leisurely drink mid-walk, we ended our tour thoroughly satisfied that we’d got as good an overview of the city, and the history and culture of the Basque region, as we possibly could as visitors. Thank you very much, Joseba! Worth every penny!

As it was our first time in Bilbao we wanted to get an overview of the people and places. Laura surpassed our expectations and went above and beyond by contacting us before and after the tour. Laura was keen to know our specific needs to ensure we got the very best out of the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and this was largely down to Laura’s enthusiasm, knowledge and personality. Laura also provided useful tips and recommendations for the remainder of our stay in Bilbao. We would highly recommend the tour and Laura in particular Outstanding

We chose the 10 Tastings in Bilbao in order to learn more about the local culture and foods. Laura was our guide and could not have done a better job. She treated us like family, taught us about the local foods, and was very patient with our slower style of movement. She thought of everything as our food tour progressed from breakfast type foods to more hearty dishes. She even brought an extra umbrella for us to use since we were visiting from a cruise ship. Realizing our time was limited because of the cruise, Laura took us to the Guggenheim and assisted with a taxi back to our ship. These are things that were not part of the tour, but shows the passion Laura has for people. I highly recommend her as your next guide. She was amazing!10 Tastings in Bilboa

We had a bike trip with guide Joseba on our first day in Bilbao. It was the best guided tour we ever had. Joseba knows a lot about culture, history, nice food spots, hidden gems, sports, … . Whatever you want to know, he can tell you more. It felt like we were on a bike tour with a friend and the trip passed by really quick. We highly recommend a trip with him, as he is a really passionate guide! Great experience!
