wanderlust8888 Posted March 11 #1 Share Posted March 11 Hi. My husband and I are looking to share a private tour of Bilbao from the cruise port. Would like to get tickets to the Guggenheim, see the Zubizuri bridge, & the Old Quarter. Anyone have suggestions or would like to share? We're on the Island Princess departing Southampton on July 26, 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have suggestions or would like to share? It isn't actually essential to book a tour for Bilbao. The ship shuttle buses usually drop off and pick up next to the Old Town, and the Guggenheim is only around a 10 minute walk from there alongside the river. (book your tickets online at a time to suit your plans You can also rent an audio guide) It isn't always necessary to pre-book entry. We turned up without and could walk in.The old town area is mostly pedestrian. and you could always join a walking tour if you thought it would be helpful. We didn't walk further along along the walkway from the Guggenheim to the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderlust8888 Posted March 11 Author #4 Share Posted March 11 Thank you so much. This is helpful & makes for a perfect plan. We usually enjoy walking around on our own and/or doing an organized walking tour. Will play it safe & purchase museum tkts online. Thank you again!!

CruiserBruce Posted March 11 #5 Share Posted March 11 You will probably find more info on the Spain board, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/465-spain-ports/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 11 #6 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I suggest you go to a brick and mortar bookstore, like Barnes & Noble and browse the travel section. Rick Steves covers Bilbao in his Spain book. Lonely Planet has a book on Bilbao and San Sebastián and you can download it for $7.95. Way back when you could purchase only the chapters you needed for download. Browse the books and see what meets your needs.

Rare Coral Posted March 12 #7 Share Posted March 12 (edited) You could book a private tour with Spain Day tours. I think we had 11 (maybe 14) on our tour and they did an excellent job. They do private tours as well. Edited March 12 by Coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
