Luxury Bilbao Tour Dragonstone Guggenheim and Michelin Star Lunch

About this tour

A curated eleven-hour private tour through Spain's Basque Country, combining coastal drama, culinary refinement and art world architecture. Depart from your hotel in a Mercedes and drive to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the clifftop hermitage that doubled as Dragonstone. Lunch arrives at a restored 15th-century farmhouse with a ten-course tasting menu and wine pairings. Afternoon explores Bilbao's medieval core—cathedral, plazas, narrow streets—before the Guggenheim's titanium-clad finale. Skip queues at both landmarks. Hotel return included.

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel early morning for the drive north to the coast. At Gaztelugatxe, decide whether to climb the steep hermitage staircase or explore nearby villages—allow roughly ninety minutes. Lunch follows at a fortified farmhouse, where courses arrive thoughtfully spaced alongside Basque wines and a Txakoli glass. Post-lunch, head to Bilbao city centre for a walking tour through the Old Town's medieval quarter and Renaissance plazas. The day concludes with a guided museum visit; expect crowds but no queues thanks to reserved access. Pace is leisurely; this suits savouring rather than rushing.
