This historic and sustainable nature walking tour, starts in Bilbao and using the public transport to get to the coast, we will guide you through the history of the Basque Country. The Nervion River is the origin of Bilbao and it is also the main axis to understanding the development of Bizkaia and the Basque Country. From the fantastic Azkorri beach, a very special beach and probably our favorite beach close to Bilbao city (it is easy to reach by bus). This beach with black sand, is covered by a green blanket of dunes and flanked by a steep cliff, it is the perfect spot for nature lovers, and is considered a geological and biological jewel. The path that runs along spectacular landscapes and steep cliffs, arriving to the mouth of the River and up to Bizkaia Bridge will help you to understand the past and the present of Bizkaia; the most important province of the Basque Country full of heritage and traditions.

Inclusions: 4 pintxos and 4 drinks per person: Zurito (small beer), Rioja Crianza (Red wine), Txakolí Basque White Wine, Mosto (non alcoholic grape drink) or cold drinks, Public transport tickets , 6 hours guided bespoke tour in English/French/Spanish/Basque, Nordic Walking poles, Bizkaia Bridge admission fee

Exclusions: Any other meals and drinks not mentioned

We travelled by car from Bilbao with Iñaki for a day tour to Rioja. Tasted some fantastic wines and had some very interesting wine making information from wine makers. Iñaki explained much about the history of the Basque and Rioja regions during the day’s travelling. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in wine making and regional Spain.

Getxo is one of the most attractive and striking spaces in Greater Bilbao, a town in movement that lives facing the sea. Getxo is one of those municipalities that offers us everything we need to know the history and culture of Euskal Herria, the essence of the Basque people. The tour begins at the Bizkaia Bridge, affectionately Hanging Bridge. A colossus, which in addition to being one of the most emblematic buildings in Euskal Herria, represents the most comfortable and practical way to cross the estuary to reach the neighboring towns of Santurtzi or Portugalete. Declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco similar to the Eiffel Tower and that continues to function as such since 1890. At the end, the Old Port, the old fishing village. A very picturesque place, where Bizkaians gather to enjoy friends and gastronomy in summer. The visit ends in the most Bilbao style, we go for pintxos !! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). Pintxo is the 5th essence, a bite-sized aperitif.

Inclusions: Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport public, Transport by private vehicle, Bridge entrances

The best experience to visit the two museums of Bilbao: classic and avant-garde, with a great guide, Beatrice, and that transmits Basque Culture very well by art and how to understand it. In addition to telling you the brutal transformation of her BILBAO City . Thanks, it was a full experience.

Although it was a rainy & windy day and only the two of us on this tour we thoroughly enjoyed. Gorka our tour guide was very knowledgable about everything. The places we visited were beautiful and just imagined them in summer with the sun shining. The chocolate tasting was great the quality of the cocoa shone through. I would definitely recommend this trip I just wished it was better weather.
