About this activity

This alternative tour has been created for the people who would like to experience both parts of Bilbao, the Old Medieval Casco Viejo and the New City. In the tour, we will talk about history and architecture, but mainly we will visit a lot of very old shops and restaurants, most of them not touristic at all, the places where the local people prefer for their everyday needs. Within some five hours , or a little bit more, depending on the breaks, we'll follow the local people in their everyday life in Bilbao.

We'll visit some of the most iconic and beautiful local places in the Ensanche (Modern Part) of Bilbao and we'll finish our tour outside the Guggenheim Museum.
