My name is Marta and I will be your personal tour guide in Bilbao
Is it your first time in Bilbao?
Or have you already been but have not visited here with an experienced local guide?
I suggest a slow tourism experience around the City:
We can take two hours or four;
We will focus on history, gastronomy, curiosities or whatever you fancy!
Maybe what you want is a combination of everything!
Old Town Route
We will discover the origins of Bilbao and its evolution from a small river port to a successful maritime commercial power, between the 14th and 19th centuries. We will talk about the Seven Streets, the Cathedral and the legends and stories that they keep, and of course not forgetting to dedicate some time to our wonderful and delicious gastronomy.
Expansion District Route
We will explore on our walk a new Villa of magnificent mansions and wide roads, tailored to the powerful industrial bourgeoisie of the 19th century, and that today is the social and commercial heart of Bilbao. We will do it without any hurry, stopping to rest and sample some of the internationally famous delicious pintxos, the Basque version of Spanish tapas.
21st Century Route
We will know how Bilbao was able to reinvent itself as a city of services around the Bilbao Ría 2000 project, leaving its industrial past behind. We will tour a new city with international projection focused on avant-garde architecture.
We will also taste our delicious “pintxos” with “txakoli” and have some time to appreciate the relevance of our gastronomy.
Total Bilbao Route
This tour will allow us to know the complete history of Bilbao. Starting in the Casco Viejo we will discover its origins and its development as a maritime commercial power. We will enter the nineteenth century and the change that the City experienced to accommodate the rich industrial bourgeoisie. Thus we will connect with the Bilbao of the 21st century, which recovers the old port spaces of the river to position itself internationally as a city of services and culture, without losing its identity. Of course, we will have moments to rest and have some refreshments.

Bilbao is history, gastronomy, architecture, leisure … It is you who decides what interests you most. Tell me and I will prepare a visit that will make you enjoy a unique experience. Of course … we will speak in your language!
Enjoyable
Not everything in a city appears in the books: with me you will discover every secret of Bilbao through anecdotes, legends and curiosities. Our visit has nothing to do with boring and soulless speeches recited from memory.
Small groups
Have you ever wanted to experience a new city “as if you were from there”? The trick is very simple: a small group – around 6 people – getting to know each other and becoming involved in the rhythm and pace of the city. As a result you end up feeling like just another local.
