We had a wonderful time in Bilbao. The hotel was located close to the railway station and the metro and also to the Guggenheim. So most of the interesting spots were around us. Dont miss the Guggenheim. It is a great place and a must._br/_ We also take a tour to San Sebastian, using the Bus from the Bus terminal. _br/_ In both cities we take the Hop on Hop off Bus to get an overview first and than walk around._br/_ We take the Mercury Hotel for 7 days, nice and friendly staff_br/_ At the arrival we take a taxi to the hotel. When we go back, we take the airport shuttle bus, for just 1,45 each. Very cheap.

The full circle of the tour takes about an hour. The information on the tour is good - it's recorded rather than a live guide and is in English, Spanish and French. It would be better if the bus waited at the stops until the advertised time - we missed it by seconds after running for it to return to the start, certain the driver would have seen us but still drove off.

Great way to see the city sites and decide where to hop off.

Bilbao Hop-On Hop-Off was excellent and traversed much of the city and sights. Tour audio/commentary was very good and clear. Really enjoyed this hour-long tour. Only drawback was that the tour runs only once an hour--with only one bus in the system, so we did not get off and instead rode through the route and got off where we started at the Guggenheim.

As always an excellent way to see a city. You see more from the top deck and get all the information about the city so you can then decide which sights you want to go back to. We did 2 full circuits so used it as a way to get around as well. The lady driver was very steady and made the trip a pleasant experience.

Do not recommend this at all, old buses and not a friendly driver
Review by: PETER F, July 2016
Route included items of little interest to tourists - e.g. railway station and immediate environment_br/_ there were also quite a number of stops which took a long time - presumably because of pick-ups._br/_ Is there a way of speeding this up e.g. better cash/money handling by the driver?. Sound equipment_br/_ was poor - buttons for volume control did not work well and earplugs were very uncomfortable!

Tour was worth it for a city orientation. We stayed on the bus for the hour and didn't use the on/off option._br/_ The bus was old and rather uncomfortable. You had to listen to the site explanations in three languages, which was rather tedious. The same tour bus in San Sebastian was more advance and provide head sets so you could select the language you wanted.

Dissapointing tour. Commentary was in three languages, so it was tiring to wait for my language English to came on each time. The commentary did not match the sites we were seeing for the first half of the trip. Bus was not particularly well kept.

Just a single bus operates this service, so schedules can be delayed during the day, depending on traffic conditions. Frequency, therefore, can also be a problem. The tour itself is around one hour long and is a comprehensive tour of Bilbao old town and environs with stunning views of the Guggenheim Museum. Highly recommended.

Nice and comfortable way to see the sights of Bilbao and decide on which sights to visit. Friendly staff - really enjoyed it.
Review by: Thomas P, January 2016
I enjoyed the tour bus. I thought it was very educational and it told me a lot of really cool places to visit. I basically sat on the bus for the entire loop around the city to get background info and then I used it for one of the stops. These buses are great for getting to know the city!

Its ok if you want to get an overview of the city.
Review by: Rosanna R, October 2015
this was a nice tour that went around the most important parts of the city, the arquitecture is beautiful, is a big city so is worth taking this tour, they were not as regular as they should had been , which made us waste too much time waiting for the buses
Review by: Bartholomaeus H, September 2015
Excellent expierence and well organized despite the fact that part of the tour was changed due to the fiesta in the city
Review by: Edward B, July 2015
Well done and comprehensive. More frequent service more buses would be a plus.
Review by: Michael S, June 2015
Good route and lovely driver. Only complaint is the regularity of the bus and no signs for the pickup points.
