Bernd Nitsch arrived in Bilbao in 2004. The first years he has been working at IMB architects on several projects of important public buildings in Bilbao. He also got involved in urban projects that IMB was realizing for Bilbao Ria. In 2006 he was asked to do his first architecture tour and this was the beginning of the still ongoing story of Guiding Architects Bilbao.

Today he is founder and director of GA BILBAO, organizing and offering with his team of selected architects guided architectural tours across Bilbao, the Basque Country and the northern wine areas of Spain.
