“Cannot recommend this tour enough! We’d originally booked with another highly rated provider on GYG, however they cancelled 2 days before because they didn’t want to just have us on the tour. Not a problem for Tourne! Oscar was a fantastic guide, really got to know us and tailored the tour to suit our preferences. Really personable and gave us lots of great facts about Bilbao. He also took us to lots of restaurants that we would not have found ourselves and told us the best things to have in each spot, he also took the time to write down a ton more recommendations for our own spare time. Definitely…”
