(*) THE ART OF GUIDING PROFESSIONALISM, EXPERIENCE, EXCELLENCE AND HISTORICAL RIGOR. Bilbao Free Tour Experience is a project that was born as a response to the crisis caused in the tourism sector by the pandemic as a result of the collaboration of several professionals. Their team is not made up of amateurs or students, but rather PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDES, the first to bring the free tour model (reverse box office / free donation) to Bilbao, a once-exclusive service. Our work environment covers the entire Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. Diplomas in Tourism and Bachelors in Art History, we are dedicated to disseminating the artistic, cultural and natural heritage of the entire territory and its network of most important public and private museums such as the Guggenheim Museum or the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum. We have extensive experience of 20 years in the field of tourism receiving public from more than 80 countries. We offer tours in Spanish, English, Basque, Italian and German. The last three in payment mode. Our tours are characterized by the depth of their information, they are exhaustive, well documented from a historical and cultural point of view and are aimed at an intellectually demanding public. Through our work we propose a series of initiatives for the care of the city, promoting the interaction of tourists with commerce and local culture.

Tour description

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in detail: its origins, its architecture, its global impact, its collections and more.


Brief description of the tour:

What makes the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao one of the most influential buildings of our era? Why was it built in Bilbao? Who gives it its name? What is the Guggenheim effect? What is behind their forms? What significance do the works that surround the exterior of the museum have?

Surely you have asked yourself these and other questions many times. We answer them and solve all the doubts you may have about one of the world icons of contemporary architecture.

We have been guiding visitors from around the world through its rooms for almost twenty years, we became guides walking through them, we have studied more than 100 temporary exhibitions and the museum's own funds. Few know its secrets like we do.

We will always recommend that you get to know it inside, because the visit will never be complete if you do not, and we are sure that you will not regret it. But if you can't afford it, you're wondering whether to do it or not, or you simply don't have time, we will tell you step by step, scale by scale, in a 360º tour around its perimeter, from all points of view.

It will change the way you look at it forever!

Useful information for the traveler:
-Small groups.
-If you have a reusable bottle, we recommend that you take it with you. This way you will avoid the generation of waste from plastic bottles. In Bilbao there are more than 300 public fountains with high quality drinking water that deserves to be valued.

-MEASURES FOR COVID-19
We are taking safety and hygiene measures recommended by the health authorities in all the Guruwalks:


- Limited number of visitors
- Safety distance between visitors
- Compulsory own mask
