We’re professional guides who, by fate, changed our location but never changed our calling.
Our love affair with Bilbao might seem accidental to some, but it’s far from that. We first came here many years ago as tourists. The city immediately captivated us — the history, architecture, nature, people, the mystery of the Basque culture, and the uniqueness of the language. We fell in love with Bilbao at first sight and didn’t want to leave.
We dreamed of staying to live here. Back then, it was just a dream, and no one imagined it would come true.
During our long separation from Bilbao, we didn’t waste time. We learned Spanish, traveled the world, and even founded Anglotourismo, which has earned four quality certificates from TripAdvisor for our walking tours.
When it was time to choose a new place to call home, we knew right away that Bilbao would be it. And the city embraced us, revealing even more of its beauty and fascinating stories, which we’re eager to share with you. We’re also proudly holding a Master’s degree in Contemporary Culture and Arts from the University of the Basque Country, which gives us a deeper understanding of this unique city.
And that’s why we are the ones who walk like locals.
Very enjoyable two and a half hour tour with Olga who had wide knowledge of Bilbao, Basque and Spanish history and politics.
We had a wonderful walking tour through Casco Viejo with Olga! There were only two of us, so it turned into an amazing private tour. Olga is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide who is doing her best to share her ideas with the guests. It was much more than a regular tour with the main city attractions, Olga shared her own experience of living in the city and the places that are worth a visit.
This is a great tour! Olga is a history and culture expert and I learned fascinating facts about this lovely city and Basque country as a whole. The tour shows things that the other tours do not. Also the fact that it has the perspective of somebody who is not born in the region means that you will get an unvarnished perspective from someone nevertheless knows the place exceptionally well. I highly recommend it!
My guide Mike was very friendly from the start. He showed interesting sights and peppered his presentation with bits of history, architecture, culture and personal insights. I was also encouraged to ask questions. I enjoyed the walking tour very much.
To me, it was a very special experience to walk through St. Petersburg with Michael and Olga, guides from Anglotourismo. St. Petersburg is the city which I have planned to visit, but due to COVID-19 pandemic my flights were cancelled. Fortunately, I have got this unique opportunity to join the guided tour right the same day my departure was originally scheduled. Remotely, but with the virtual "Being There" effect, we had a decent walk, stopping by the city hidden gems. Michael as a local resident and a professional guide provides you not only a comprehensive historical background and architectural heritage introduction, which of course are closely intertwined in St. Petersburg, but also current views on the local society, education, multicultural kitchen and even music. It gives you a live taste of the city and the citizens' everyday life, so I highly recommend to join the St. Petersburg Off the Beaten Track On-line Walking Tour!
