Fantastic Tour! - We had a great time at each of the three destinations and learned so much in a such a short timeframe! The hike at Gaztelugatxe was our favorite and is definitely doable, but still intense! Be sure to bring good shoes, water, and go to the bathroom before the hike down!

Great experience! - It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed the whole tour. Our tour guide Pacu was a pleasure, he didn't miss a bit in explaining the significance of each place we visit and telling us its history. Would recommend this tour.

Difficult but fun day - This tour was amazing. Our bilingual guide was kind patient and helpful. The hike to San Juan de Gaztelugatxte was difficult but doable. It’s not the 240 steps but the climb back up to the bus that will hurt. But definitely worth it. Hour guide walked us through the towns of Bermro and Gernika as well. Great day!

Perfect daytrip from Bilbao to other authentic places in the Basque region - Very fun and interesting guided tour at the same time. Pascu knows how to tell stories and answers happily all different questions that one could come up with. I enjoyed every part of the trip 😊 Very nice group as well! Time flew! Nice selection of places and on top an introduction to various aspects of Basque culture and language. Would definitely recommend!

Good tour if you have little time in Bilbao, could be longer - So glad I took this tour to see so many things in the limites time I had. The tour was shorter than I expected. I would have preferred to see at least one museum in one of the places we visited for a deeper cultural understanding.

Not too interesting - House of Targaryen was nice to see. It was even a little sunny. Not much to see in Bermeo. Guernica was interesting but it would have needed more time to visit. I booked an English tour but alll the other people spoke Spanish. So the guide did spent 70% explaining in Spanish and just some basics in English, which was disappointing.
