Additional Information

The city of Bilbao has changed radically in the last 20 years, from being a merely industrial city to becoming an avant-garde city that elegantly combines tradition and modernity. On this Ebike tour, we want you to discover and enjoy both classic Bilbao and that new modern Bilbao, and that through our local guides you get to know our culture from within, as well as our traditions and customs.

Virtually the entire route runs through bike lanes and enabled areas away from traffic lanes, guaranteeing safety throughout the entire route. We have a group of local guides, professionals and perfectly knowledgeable of the Villa de Bilbao who are willing to share it with all of you in a fun and casual way, Tourné style.

  • If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate.

Fun trip, learnt loads, highly recommend. - Super trip and learnt SO much in 3 hrs - about Basque history, culture, art, football and the regeneration of the city. Amazing to see all the pointers/ statues/ murals/ that we would have otherwise have missed. Oscar was great and we only had 4 in our group, 3 of which were our family...very good value and a great way to see Bilbao if time is limited or you want to get a real feel for how things have changed here over the years.

Pleasurable, Informative experience with well informed guide - 3 hour guided tour around Bilbao with Roberto was a very enjoyable and informative experience. We were given a synopsis of the history of Bilbao - past, emerging and present. Roberto was well informed, pleasant and amusing, worked at our pace explaining and answering our many questions relating to this beautiful place. Had never ridden an Electric Bike so was a little nervous initially however it was great - definitely recommend.

Bilbao by Bike - Daria was the best part of the tour! We went to so many highlights of the city; and they were all really great, but she made them each personal. She stopped so we could take in sights from good viewpoints with interesting bits about the city beyond what you would just read in the guidebook. I loved her favorite art. She spoke of the Guggenheim effect and the artists' reenvisioning a city and beyond. It was a personal and smaller group which I felt great about. She had many personalized tips tailored to interests with local spots: to see nature or pinxtos or history or whatever your likes. I was lucky enough to randomly arrive on the last night of the festival of lights which I never would have known if it hadn't encountered a nice shoe shop owner who suggested I must go! She brought up the festival as it applied to the places we visited after I mentioned it, and brought up other famous fests for any future visits. She was very good at signaling the traffic so the group could easily stay together and not get split up. She helped adjust the bikes when some struggled and as we entered the kid zone she hopped off the bike giving the group good etiquette. I don't do lots of touristy experiences but this was personalized and didn't feel overwhelmingly touristy or groupie. I learned a bunch; Daria could answer even rando questions and had tips about how to find vegetarian and vegan food which can be a challenge in Iberia. Bilbao is now my favorite young vibrant city in Europe. I'm embarrassed by this last bit but good thing my geography of Basque country is so bad that my trains were going to eat up two days with weird mid night stay overs in random towns and traveling through Bilbao was offered as an alternative which put this amazing place on my radar! Don't miss Daria or this tour, but if you are a rude demanding American tourist forget I said anything and stay on your couch because there are hills and pedaling involved! Otherwise enjoy the beauty of Bilbao.
