A great Basque Food Tour in Bilbao - We had a wonderful Food Tour, we went on the same Food Tour last year. The two guides were incredible with wonderful information and we’re so helpful. We had
Wine and pinchtxers at seven or eight delightful restaurants. Our group was very international, which was lovely. I would highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely Recommended - We had a lovely time on the tour. The guide was open to discussing any and all topics and told us a lot about the food, the country and the culture. Pintxos were amazing and we got to try a lot of different ones along with wine and cider. This was a very nice introduction into the Basque country and culture. Warmly recommended.

Exciting tour, excellent food - Excellent tour. Our guide not only showed us the local food but also told us a lot about the culture and history. The food was fantastic, the group had a lot of fun and was definitely more than full after the lunch tour!

Add this tour on your to-do list in Bilbao - The tour was amazing and the organisation was top noch ! Kudos to Adria, our very passionate guide ready to answer any tricky question :-) Each bar we visited had its unique style of pintxos and was meticulously selected to demonstrate the evolution of pintxos. Without a guidance we would definitely not discover them on our own. Do not even think of dinner after this tour - all participants were full before the last stop :-D
