Discover the most authentic essence of Bilbao with this exclusive experience for cruise passengers.
We’ll depart from the port and, after a comfortable transfer, ascend Mount Artxanda, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its surroundings—a perfect spot for your first photos.
A continuación, descenderemos al corazón de Bilbao para iniciar un tour guiado por el centro histórico y moderno, recorriendo lugares emblemáticos como el Museo Guggenheim, símbolo de la vanguardia arquitectónica, y las famosas Siete Calles, donde se respira la tradición bilbaína. Nuestro guía te contará curiosidades y anécdotas que harán que te enamores de la ciudad.
After the tour, you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace, with the opportunity to visit the renowned Guggenheim Museum on your own and enjoy a tasting of Basque pintxos, a unique gastronomic experience that is an integral part of the local culture.
Finally, we will return to the ship with a panoramic bus tour of Bilbao, taking in some of its most iconic landmarks, such as the Bizkaia Bridge, a World Heritage Site, and other highlights that will complete this unforgettable day.
At the time indicated in your reservation, we will meet at the specified meeting point. Our staff will be easily identifiable by their white clothing with the ShoreSpirit Tours logo. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure an on-time departure.
Our first stop will be at Mount Artxanda, from where we can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Bilbao and its surroundings. We will have 15 minutes of free time before heading to the city center of Bilbao.
Enjoy a private and personalized tour of Bilbao, where an official local guide will take you to discover the most important and iconic places in the city, such as the Seven Streets and the exterior of the Guggenheim Museum. To make these guided tours more efficient, groups will be limited to 20–25 people.
Enjoy some free time in the city of Bilbao where you can go shopping, visit the famous Guggenheim Museum on your own, or simply wander through its old town. In addition, we offer you an appetizer of Basque pintxos that you can enjoy whenever you like at a venue we will indicate.
Next, we will return to the port of Getxo, traveling by bus through the main streets of Bilbao and enjoying a panoramic view of the famous Bizkaia Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Our bus will drop us back at the port, where we will say goodbye and the tour will come to an end.
Each excursion will have a different schedule depending on the ship’s arrival and departure times at the port. You will be informed of your excursion’s schedule when your booking is confirmed.
To confirm an excursion, a minimum number of seats must be booked. Once this minimum is reached, you will receive a notification confirming your excursion along with a link to make the payment.
If, due to a change in the ship’s itinerary or external reasons (such as political or weather-related issues), a confirmed excursion cannot be carried out, we will first try to find an alternative. If that is not possible, the full amount will be refunded to the passenger.
If there aren’t enough people to create a group in your language, by default all excursions will be conducted in English. All our guides are bilingual in English and Spanish. Additionally, for ships originating from Germany (mainly from AIDA and TUI cruise lines), all excursions will be conducted in German unless otherwise indicated by the team when confirming the tour.
We will provide you with a phone number so you can contact us at any time. However, before the tour begins, you will receive a message with all the information, including the location where you can find us.
Although our team will do everything possible to assist you, we are not allowed to provide support to people with reduced mobility. We recommend contacting us before booking this tour to explain your situation and look for a solution.
This tour is of easy to medium difficulty. We only recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes to explore the city.
