Private Bilbao Tour with Free Pickup, Drop-Off and Guggenheim Stop

Pickup and drop-off are free, so the day starts and ends without a meeting point to find. In between, a private guide narrates the drive and the walk through central Bilbao, which suits visitors who want commentary without planning a route of their own.

The Guggenheim is the main stop. Gehry's building is clad in titanium, and the guide points out where to stand for the best photographs and explains the permanent works placed outside and around it. In Bilbao those include Jeff Koons's Puppy, from 1992, and Louise Bourgeois's Maman, from 1999. Inside the museum, guests go in on their own and take the time they want.

The rest of the route stays in the center: Santiago Cathedral, Plaza Circular, Teatro Arriaga, the Church of San Anton, City Hall, La Ribera Market and the Church of San Nicolas. The market opened in 1929 and covers 10,000 square meters.
