Best Bike Tour in Bilbao - Would absolutely recommend this tour! Learned so much about Bilbao and the Basque culture, history and traditions and places like the Guggenheim museum and the significant impact it has had. The bike route was gorgeous, well paved and safe, but you definitely need an e-bike. I'm an avid cyclist and the steep hills would be too hard for a regular tourist, but a breeze with the e-bikes. The bikes were top notch, the city easy to bike around, but our guide made it incredible. You could feel his passion for his Basque culture that he wanted to share with us. I especially appreciated learning about it because we are from Boise, Idaho where many Basque people settled and are represented there today. Try this tour, you will come away loving Bilbao, Spain!

Fantastic way to see the city and stay active - Had a fantastic time on this trip with our guide Roberto. We did it on a Sunday so the roads were nice a quite and we felt really safe cycling. It’s a great tour for people of all ages as my mam is 61 and loved it. Roberto was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions for more activities to do. We went to dinner in Rio-Oja as per his suggest and also visited Portugalete for the hanging bridge Vizcaya Bridge, both were a fabulous experience. Overall it was a great tour and well worth it

Ask for Oskar! - Oskar was excellent! His enthusiasm was contagious and energy level consistent throughout the tour especially when tending to different skill levels of bike riding. He engaged with each person in our group which added depth to the experience. Thank you!

Great bike tour! - We did the 3 hour bike tour in the afternoon
The weather was a bit wet, but not all the time.
Our guide Nicolien knew a lot of facts and enthusiastically told us about the history and the sights of Bilbao and she guided us safely on our bikes through the city.
She also gave us some very fine tips for the next few days of our stay.
We recommend this bike tour to anyone visiting Bilbao.
We enjoyed it very much.

Doing! - Fantastic for exploring Bilbao.
Our spontaneous Dutch-speaking guide Nicolien knows a lot (great tips!), takes you to places worth seeing in this wonderful city and takes all the time to tell you something about it during the stops.
With the electric bicycles, everyone can set the desired speed and participate safely, together with motorized traffic, but there are quite a lot of cycle paths.

Super fun way to quickly see all the highlights of the city - A super fun way to get to know the city. Excellent cycling and enthusiastic guide Benet (English speaking tour). My daughter had difficulty understanding him because of his Spanish accent, but I thought it was manageable.
