Details

Muskiz, a coastal town in Biscay, Spain, lies just a stone's throw from the dynamic cityscapes of Bilbao. This e-bike tour from Tourne offers a unique vantage point for soaking in the contrasting textures of the region—from industrial heritage zones edging the Bay of Biscay to the urban flair of Bilbao itself. The Highlights Private Ebike Tour puts a local guide at your side, tailoring every pedal stroke to your interests. This means cruising past Bilbao's architectural marvels like the angular Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry, to lesser-known street art pockets and quiet plazas that most visitors miss.

Biscay’s landscape is notable for its mix of lush, Atlantic-influenced greenery and gritty urban infrastructure, framing a modern city that balances innovation with Basque tradition. Riding an e-bike here transforms how you experience the city’s rolling hills and cobbled streets, delivering effortless access to spots that are otherwise grouped hard to reach on foot or by car.

Tourne’s approach invites travelers to customize their adventure, so whether you’re drawn to contemporary art, vibrant local markets, or architectural feats, the guide adapts the route for a meaningful day. This bespoke experience captures Bilbao’s pulse—from its industrial past, shaped by shipbuilding and steelworks, to its present-day status as a cultural powerhouse.

What makes Tourne’s private ebike tour a standout is its focus on blending active movement with rich storytelling. It’s an accessible way to discover Biscay without missing the details—the history etched into brick and steel, the flavors of Pintxos bars, and the waves crashing nearby. This is urban touring charged with atmosphere and ease, ideal for riders wanting to deeply engage with Basque culture on two wheels.
