Bring an appetite: lunch spots are your call, and your guide doubles as a keen photographer, capturing moments worth keeping.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from San Sebastián for the 90-minute drive to Bilbao. Once there, you'll explore on foot and by car—hitting the Guggenheim without queuing, wandering the Casco Viejo's narrow streets, and taking in the Puente de la Salve and other landmarks your guide suggests. The tour wraps around what interests you most: modern architecture, Basque history, or both. Photography moments crop up naturally. The return journey to San Sebastián is included; total time accounts for travel.
Good to know
Lunch is not provided—plan a pintxo crawl or sit-down meal to your taste. Bring comfortable shoes for walking Bilbao's streets. Tipping is at your discretion. Tour timing includes the full journey from and to San Sebastián, so plan accordingly for your onward plans.
