Every tour puts money back into the local economy, from the bars we visit to the businesses we recommend.
Free Spirit Bilbao was born from a simple belief — that the best travel experiences happen when you connect with a place through its people, not just its sights. Founded by Miguel, a passionate local guide originally from Santiago de Chile who made Bilbao his home, we offer small-group experiences rooted in honesty, warmth, and a genuine love for the Basque Country.
We keep our groups small on purpose. We support local businesses. We share real stories about the city — the history, the culture, and the everyday life that makes Bilbao so special. Every experience is designed to leave you feeling like you truly know this place.
Real experiences from travelers who explored Bilbao with us.
One of the best experiences we had in Bilbao. The bike tour along the coast was beautiful, relaxed, and authentic. We felt like locals instead of tourists.
The small group made a huge difference. Super personal, friendly, and full of interesting stories about Bilbao and Basque culture.
More than a tour guide — it felt like exploring the city with a friend who genuinely loves Bilbao.
