Small groups. On purpose.
We don't want to simply take you from one landmark to another. We keep our groups small so there's time to talk, ask questions and experience Bilbao in a more personal way.
Free Spirit is a small local company, and our tours are built around conversation, local knowledge and a genuine connection with the place we live.
There's no fixed price for the tour. At the end, you decide what the experience was worth to you.

On this walk through Bilbao's Old Town, we'll use its streets to understand that story — from the city's origins to its industrial past, its transformation and the Bilbao people live in today. But we don't want to simply take you from one landmark to another. We'll talk about Basque culture, identity, everyday life and the events that have shaped the city, leaving plenty of room for questions, conversation and whatever catches our attention along the way. Because that's how we think a place is best discovered: not by rushing through a checklist, but by understanding what you're looking at and talking to someone who calls it home. And since this will probably be just the beginning of your time here, we'll share our favourite ideas for where to eat, drink and explore afterwards. A Free Tour is a walking tour where our guides, passionate about the city, do their best to guarantee you an unforgettable experience. The tour is free because there is no prearranged price, each participant will define the amount they consider appropriate according to their level of satisfaction.
