Please note that the order of the guided tour of Bilbao changes depending on the day you book:

If you book the tour from Saturday to Monday, we will tour Bilbao's Old Town. On this tour, we will discover the origins of this Biscayan city, focusing on its most emblematic buildings and landmarks.

Enjoy a stroll through the oldest area of the city to reach Plaza Nueva, where you can admire emblematic churches and discover the famous 7 streets. Finish at the renowned Mercado de la Ribera and sample some traditional Basque delicacies.

If you book the tour from Tuesday to Friday, we will complete the itinerary by crossing the Zubi Zuri footbridge, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, which leads to Bilbao's Ensanche district. Here, we will see the most representative sights of the city center.
