Fantastic tour and an exceptional guide!
We were incredibly lucky to choose this tour with Jose! It ended up being a private tour just for the two of us, and Jose was fantastic. He is a truly good person—incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond to make sure we learned about the history, the local culture, and everyday life in the Basque Country. Instead of just giving us a time limit, he actually hiked up to Gaztelugatxe with us. He also provided convenient pick-up and drop-off right at our accommodation. Thanks to Jose, we learned so much, and the personal experience doesn't even compare to a standard bus tour. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much. It was fantastic to spend the day with you. I'll always try to do my best because it's the only way to enjoy the day. It was a pleasure to meet you. Eskerrik asko!!

Jose was kind, patient,...
Jose was kind, patient, and so informative throughout our tour. I can’t even express how much we enjoyed traveling the coast with him, as we learned so much about the Basque community and the stories surrounding the regions development. I highly recommend you take this tour if ever in the Basque region. But, of note, the first stop definitely requires the ability to walk up and down a significant distance to see the sites
Response from the operator: Thank you Jennifer. We enjoyed a lot visiting the coast of Biscay. It was a pleasure to meet you and spend the day with you. I'm very lucky because I've good friends around the world like you. Eskerrik asko!!!

Great Day!
Our guide Jose was very conscientious. As soon as I booked the tour, he contacted me to confirm the booking. He also reached out a couple of times after that which reassured me. He was punctual in picking us up on time. Jose is very knowledgeable about the towns we visited. He considered our abilities and made sure we walked at a pace that suited us. He is a great tour guide, very engaging, fun and attentive. It was a great day!

A perfect private tour …
Jose Luis is an exceptional guide. We had a fully personalized private tour, just the two of us, and he even picked us up from our apartment. Thanks to his perfect timing, we avoided the late‑morning crowds at Dragonstone. He was flexible, engaging, and shared fascinating highlights about Basque history, culture, and daily life. We highly recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you Horea. It was fantastic to spend the day with you and your wife, We enjoyed a very beautiful day. I hope you've enjoyed San Sebastian too. Eskerrik asko!!!!

Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.
How much does Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 159 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns?
+
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 Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns?
+
Around 56 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy the Coast of Biscay: Visit Dragonstone and beautiful towns 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.
