We’re professional guides who, by fate, changed our location but never changed our calling.
Our love affair with Bilbao might seem accidental to some, but it’s far from that. We first came here many years ago as tourists. The city immediately captivated us — the history, architecture, nature, people, the mystery of the Basque culture, and the uniqueness of the language. We fell in love with Bilbao at first sight and didn’t want to leave.
We dreamed of staying to live here. Back then, it was just a dream, and no one imagined it would come true.
During our long separation from Bilbao, we didn’t waste time. We learned Spanish, traveled the world, and even founded Anglotourismo, which has earned four quality certificates from TripAdvisor for our walking tours.
When it was time to choose a new place to call home, we knew right away that Bilbao would be it. And the city embraced us, revealing even more of its beauty and fascinating stories, which we’re eager to share with you. We’re also proudly holding a Master’s degree in Contemporary Culture and Arts from the University of the Basque Country, which gives us a deeper understanding of this unique city.
And that’s why we are the ones who walk like locals.
Olga is fantastic! We had a wonderful 3 hours with Olga as she walked us around the Old City and shared the history and culture of Bilbao and Basque country. Her perspective and knowledge really added to the tour.
Had a wonderful afternoon walking around the old town. Very informative about the political history of Spain / Basque Country and how Bilbao had a five point plan to reinvent itself. Also how football and Athletic Bilbao are central to the lives of many residents. We visited some lovely bars and our guide pointed out restaurants and pinxtos bars that are not always full of tourists. Had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone.
We had a great Bilbao tour from Mike. We enjoyed learning about the history, culture, food and daily life of Bilbao and the people. We also to walked to many destinations that made the tour even more interesting. Thanks Mike !
Michael was a knowledgeable and engaging host.
