    Great tour

    Leonardo was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. It was uncommonly hot that day. Monitor the weather and bring water. Thankfully we found plenty of shade throughout our tour.

    Private group tour of Bilbao (15) with SYLVAIN guide

    Sylvain guide: a common crook! he lingers, he offers to stop for a drink that we offer him, we have lunch in a restaurant he chooses, we offer him his meal and after , he charges a huge overpayment of fees of 180 € because he has exceeded the agreed time of his intervention. A real thug! Not to be recommended!

    Response from the operator: Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour avec nous. Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que votre expérience de visite avec Sylvain n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes et qu’il y ait eu des problèmes concernant les frais supplémentaires et l’itinéraire. Nous comprenons combien cela a pu être frustrant. Chez Guydeez, notre objectif est de créer des souvenirs heureux, et nous vous avons déjà contacté par email pour traiter directement ce problème. Encore une fois, nous vous présentons nos sincères excuses pour ce désagrément, et nous espérons que vous nous donnerez une seconde chance. Cordialement, L’équipe Guydeez

    Terrible

    Do not book this tour guide. She was sweet, but was very much uninformed about so many aspects of the city.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you found the guide kind, we’re truly sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations in terms of knowledge and insight. That’s not the experience we strive to offer. We’ve reached out to you by email to follow up directly. Please accept our sincere apologies, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a more informative and enjoyable tour in the future. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

    Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.

    How much does Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bilbao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bilbao is not rushed.

    Is Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bilbao can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bilbao and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bilbao : Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bilbao within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bilbao?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bilbao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Award-Winning Bilbao Food Tour & Wine Pairing by Basque Local, Bilbao Food Tour: Pintxos, Drinks, and Tapas with a Local, Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bilbao?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bilbao?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
