Overview

In a day you will discover medieval Bilbao, Casco Viejo or popularly known as "The Seven Streets", with its cobblestone streets, cantons, squares and charming corners, witnesses of the intense commercial and port activity that made the Villa grow. Its walls, the Gothic cathedral of Santiago, the Plaza Nueva, the emblematic church of San Antón and the ancient ruins on which it sits, or the bustling market of La Ribera welcome more than 500 years of history and an urban vitality for which seems to pass the time. We will continue the tour of the well-known Ensanche, a key sign of the progress of the Villa. The visit shows the urban development of Bilbao and its architecture from the 19th century to the present day. A look at the pulsating heart of a city that exudes tradition and avant-garde. The visit ends in the most Bilbao style, we go for pintxos !! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). The pintxo is the 5th essence, a snack of the size of a bite.

I had the perfect Tour Guide.

Published on Nov, 2023

JAVIER CONDE is the perfect tour guide. As a history professor, he communicated in English well and knew Bilbao’s history and architecture by heart! He showed the most beautiful buildings and answered kindly all my questions! Definitely, this tour is highly recommended!

Fantastic walking tour of Bilbao and the Guggenheim!

Javier was an excellent tour guide! We walked through the Old and New town areas and talked about the history, the culture and the architecture. I also expanded my tour the following day for the Guggenheim tour. We spent several hours talking about the museum, both the exterior and interior. Javier talked about the various artists and their exhibits inside as well. Explora Norte sent me several emails and allowed me to expand my tours before I got to Bilbao. They communicated well and were flexible. I highly recommend them.

Great tour with just the right amount of information.

Great tour to get an overall perspective of the city as well as ideas of things to do outside. Guide was a little rusty on english but we worked together and I didn't feel the tour suffered. Lovely insights into archtiecture.

Begona gave me a comprehensive and engaging walking tour of Bilbao. She is an outstanding and knowledgeable guide. Could not have enjoyed my wonderful one on one tour more.
