2A bit disappointed
The guide Roberto was nice but we were a group of 12 which was too big. It was not explained to the group that pedestrians have priority which on a Saturday morning was very relevant. The group were told to be single file but several times were told to keep up - separated by lights changing from the main group. We got back 15 minutes early and don’t feel we received the tour as described.
5Best bike tour ever!
We have taken a number of bike tours and this one was the best! Roberto is an outstanding guide. He is from Basque, is so knowledgeable about its history, and is passionate about sharing it with others. We saw so much of the city. It was a wonderful experience.

About Bilbao
Bilbao is a Basque city on the Nervión River, a former industrial port reborn around a titanium-clad art museum and an old quarter of pintxo bars.
Bilbao grew rich on iron ore and shipbuilding, and its industrial riverside has been turned to culture. The Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry and covered in titanium, curves beside the river, with a giant flower-covered dog and a spider sculpture outside. The Fine Arts Museum, in a park nearby, and the Zubizuri footbridge by Santiago Calatrava are other stops.
Top-ranked sights in Bilbao: Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Casco Viejo, Bilbao's Santiago Cathedral.
