Highly recommend booking this tour! - We had a wonderful evening with Ashley as she shared the stories of not only the pinxtos and drinks she selected (which were delicious!) but the Basque culture and history. She was a fun, friendly and informative guide - we thoroughly enjoyed her company and highly recommend her tour!

An Afternoon with the Basque King, Jack 👑 - We were lucky enough to have Jack as our guide for the afternoon tour, and he made the experience fantastic from start to finish. Our small group was the perfect size, and Jack’s energy and knowledge stood out right away. He shared stories about Bilbao’s history over a glass of white wine and an incredible crab pintxo on toasted bread that set the tone for the rest of the tour. Each stop after that had its own local specialty, and Jack kept the pace just right, staying engaging, funny, and always making sure we were enjoying ourselves. This was easily one of the best tours we’ve done anywhere. If you’re in Bilbao, book it and hope you get Jack. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious food and fun vibes - We had a great time on our Pinxos tour. James was really knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like a really relaxed ad fun time and reflective of the attitude of Bilboa. Everything went very smoothly. And all the food was amazing, everything we had was delicious and different, and there was lots of alcohol available.
