What to expect
Your guide meets you at your San Sebastián hotel and drives you to Bilbao. Once there, you'll walk through the Casco Viejo—tight medieval streets with baroque facades—and pause at a pintxeria for authentic small plates and a drink. The guide points out the Seven Streets and the Church of San Antón, then leads you on a relaxed riverside path that opens onto the contemporary Guggenheim plaza. With skip-the-line access secured, you enter the museum at your own pace to view the collections. The drive back to San Sebastián winds up the day.
Good to know
WiFi and bottled water provided on the coach. Fully wheelchair-accessible throughout. Prams, specialist infant seats and service animals accommodated. Choose the lunch option when booking if you'd prefer a three-course meal instead of the pintxo stop.
