Who are we?
We’re professional guides who, by fate, changed our location but never changed our calling.
Are we locals?
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.
So yes, now we
WALK LIKE LOCALS.
Mike was a fabulous tour guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions we all had. There was a young family with a double pram and he was always on hand to help them up stairs/into lifts. He gave us fantastic recommendations and his knowledge was exceptional. I hope when you tour bilbao you do it with Mike because you won’t be left asking anything!
Mike is super knowledgeable and professional. If you want someone who is there to really teach you about the culture and history, he is your guy! He was open to questions and discussions Nd I can't thank him enough for waiting for us as we were almost 10 min late!
