The 10 Best Movie & TV Tours in Province of Vizcaya, Basque Country

May 21, 2022 Layne Dawes

Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia; Spanish: Vizcaya) is a province of Spain located just south of the Bay of Biscay. The name also refers to a historical territory of the Basque Country, heir of the ancient Lordship of Biscay. Its capital city is Bilbao. It is one of the most prosperous and important provinces of Spain as a result of the massive industrialization in the last years of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Since the deep deindustrialization of the 1970s, the economy has come to rely more on the services sector.

I cannot recommend this day trip highly enough. Ander provided the most amazing day - hotel pickup, beautiful sights, history, cultural information, and treats along the way. The stop at each town was incredibly memorable. We also had a great stop at the Spanish-French border for a coffee and incredible views. If you're looking for a special day that will take you away frm the tourist-heavy sites in Donostia-San Sebastian, this is the tour for you. Ander, thank you so much for your warmth and for a day that we will never forget. If we visit again your beautiful country, you will see us for a repeat tour! Brian Couch and Flo Couch

We worked with Nerea to organize 2 days of private guides for our overnight in Bilbao on our cruise. Nerea was great to work with, and the two historical walking and Pinxtos tours were amazing. We have done a lot of private tours in our travels in Europe and our two private guides, 1 in San Sebastian and 1 in Bilbao were 2 of the best we ever had. I wish I could remember the ladies names that took us around, but they were FANTASTIC! The food they shared with us was amazing. They took us to very different places in each city, but places that they liked to visit is locals. The Pinxtos were amazing, the wine was amazing, the history tours were great. The guides were so knowledgable, personable, flexible, and they made us fall in love with the region of Spain. You cannot go wrong with the service and the guides provided by Basque Destinations. Our guide in Bilbao even walked around the Guggenheim with us and explained things (even though techinically it is not legal to do so), and for people who are not versed in Modern Art, it was very impactful, educational, and made the experience so much more enjoyable. I wish I could remember the women's names, but I waited too long to write the review...but you will not be disappointed with the private tours created by Nerea and her team.

In the real life the beach and the island that form the place, are in fact located in two different places and during this tour, we will visit both! Follow the steps of your favourite Game of Thrones characters in the Basque Country visiting spectacular cliffs with a history of more than 60 million years and magical rocky island of pirates, witches and legends.

Our expectations of San Sebastian were not in vain. Bask Me Private Tours brought us to the different famous sites in the city. They gave us accounts on the history and culture of the region, and also allowed us to experience their gastronomies while we mix with Donostiarras. We had fond memories of this amazing city. I would highly recommend their services to my family and friends who will visit San Sebastian in the near future.

The best of the tour of our lives. We can't recommend it enough. One of the reasons we picked Spain for our. & We have rarely made better decisions in our lives. Maria & her colleague, who conducted the tour were fluent in English & shared our passion regarding GoT, regaled us with stories regarding the shoot, played GoT videos in the car. We also got props with which we posed for selfies. Since we took the half day tour we visited Barrika, Butrón Castle, & the jewel in the crown San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Interested people can buy GoT merchandise as well. We do not recommend this tour for anyone who's having a medical condition though. Also. Be prepared for foul weather (which we felt, kind of added to the atmosphere) & bring raincoats. & Check with the guides about the actual timings! PS: Maria & the rest of you. Please stay safe. :-)
