Funikularreko Plaza

We will stay at the door of the Artxanda Funicular station that is located in the same square that has its name. I will carry an identification. Out of respect for the members of the group, punctuality is requested, so it is recommended to be at the meeting point 10 minutes before.

Visit to the Guggenheim museum - We spent the day visiting the museum and wandering around the city. Very beautiful old center. We could see the sea. The beach is not worth it (maybe only for Europeans).

Happies with Ane - We liked all of them, since the first part (funicular and explanation of the Bilbao's development) to the Casco Viejo visit. Ane mades the explanation very pleasant.

Really not great. - We went 3 days to Bilbao for the holidays and we were generally quite disappointed with this stay. The city is not very beautiful and aging. Even the old town did not seduce us, with all these tourist-catching restaurants. We took a boat ride: most of the time we had the Impression of walking between ruined fields with the only view of dilapidated buildings. Only at the end of the tour are the houses pretty. But honest 20 € for that, it was clearly not worth it. We also made the funicular: for me it is irrelevant. Upstairs, the view is spoiled by a horrible antenna. We will certainly not return to this city.

A total BUST! - Our tour guide did NOT show up for the tour, although Viator had sent us many confirmations. Apparently the local guide had the dates wrong, for JUNE 15 instead of JULY 15. She had sent me a WhatsApp text is JUNE saying "Where Are you, we are waiting to start". I told her she was a month early, that it's JULY 15. and sent her a screen grab of our booking. Instead of correcting the error, she canceled us. Since Viator had sent me confirmations all week in July, I assumed all was well. It was not. I urge Viator to please actually CONFIRM with your local guides before sending the client a bogus confirmation.
