Free walking tours in Old Town

Our tour was cancelled as they only run if there’s a min of 4 people. 3 of us went and had a drink and a bite at cafe Bilbao and joined the next tour 45 mins later. Unfortunately I had to leave early as I had another tour so I missed the last 30 mins or so. Marvin was a great guide, he was very knowledgeable, spoke so many languages, shared great information on Bilbao and was very proud of his city and thanked us for visiting - very kind! He also helped me find the best point in the tour to maximize my time and got me on the tram to get to my next tour. Thank you! My rating is adjusted not because of Marvin (he gets 5 stars), the company lost a star for not going ahead with 3 of us. If you’re going to have a ‘free walking tour’ it’s not fair to your employees or customers if you cancel. If you want to have min numbers, don’t make it free.

Highly recommended, good job Stephane

Stephane was a great guide who helped explain the history of Bilbao, Basque culture, and gave some great recommendations for Pintxos. Happy to have done the tour with him.

There weren’t enough people for the tour in English so I joined the Spanish tour. I think see Google translate which was entertaining!

Very knowledgeable and interesting

Absolutely fantastic experience. Extremely engaging style and enthusiastic about Bilbao. Very, very knowledgeable. I recommend Marvin.

Good informative walking tour that gives a good history of Bilbao and Casco Viejo. Highly recommended!

Great tour, Gillian was very friendly and a bit cautious at first, yet after feeling out the group vibe he became more open to share his vast knowledge with us. The best part though was hanging out with the other tour participants afterwards; we didn't know eachother at all before. The pace was good, and we covered enough to keep it interesting, and not too much to make it confusing.

Interesting commentary. He welcomed questions and answered them. Great guide.

Great way to learn about Bilbao history and explore the area with a local.

Great tour, learned a lot and noticed a totally different set of things from my solo exploration. Great to learn more about Basque history and the guide answered all my questions

This tour was awesome! Our guide provided a comprehensive history of old town Bilbao, showing us all the important landmarks and providing engaging and enthusiastic commentary. Always glad to get a quick rundown of a cities history as well as the context behind architecture and urban planning, and this tour went above and beyond!

Stephane was a terrific tour guide!

Fue un súper tour! Íñigo fue muy majo al explicarnos la historia de Bilbao, pasando de lo histórico a lo cotidiano y a la vida diaria de los bilbaínos. Fue un recorrido con datos y muy buena vibra. Repetiríamos sin duda, eskerrik asko!

Marvin was an excellent promoter of basque history, culture and gastronomy. He spoke an understandable and informative english. He was dedicated to Bilbao and we can only recommand him

This was a great introduction to Bilbao. Marvin covered many aspects including old and recent history, regional culture, architecture and local anecdotes. Marvin was also very helpful in ensuring we made the most of whatever time we had in Bilbao. A great 2 hours!

Guide was very knowledgeable and brought a lot of humor to the tour. Well worth joining the tour

Excellent tour and guide

We very much enjoyed our tour. Marvin did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot. Eskerrik asco!

I had a tour with Stephan and it went well.Tour was interesting and he had a lot of knowledge about Basque Country. However, there was one thing I didn't like. Stephan emphasized at least 3 times how important it was that we pay for this tour because he still has to pay taxes. I understand that nothing in this world is free anymore, but the free walking tour concept should be preserved. I felt unpleasant that he reminded 3 times not to forget to pay.

The hour was early and this may be why the group was very little - it was almost like a private tour. The guide was both a local and a knowledgeable professional, sharing insights into the modern life of the city as well as stories from its different historical periods. We really appreciated the narrative, which wasn’t simply chronological but rather based on connotations - really engaging and original. The route wasn’t long but allowed to see most of the Old Town with all the important points and left some time for a loose conversation. Time well-spent

Marvin was a great tour guide, giving us the right amount of history information whilst showing the beautiful old town

Excellent toyr. I expected thiz as i have been on guru walks before which i thoroughly enjoyed. Will join again.

This was a really informative tour, perfect amount of detail and variety. Esther (our guide) was really friendly, with great English.

very interesting tour! I would have loved to ask a few more questions though :)
