When local disruptions appeared to be about to affect our tour he contacted us quickly and helpfully rearranged dates . He had wide and interesting knowledge of the city , the country and local affairs and of course food and wine.He was very happy to answer our questions and change his proposed walking route and visits to suit our interests .As we walked around saw several interesting sites in the city . He was very friendly and ensured we all had a very enjoyable and interesting evening. We visited several very different pubs and tried a range of foods ,snacks and drinks.

Walking Food Tour in Old Town Bilbao – Highly Recommended! - My wife and I joined a Thursday evening walking food tour in Old Town Bilbao, and we happened to be the only guests that night. Far from diminishing the experience, it made the tour feel even more personal. Our guide, who grew up in the neighborhood, shared his deep knowledge and passion for the area. He tailored the evening to our interests—history, culture, and of course, the food! The streets were buzzing with locals and tourists alike, creating a wonderful vibe. The pintxos were excellent, and every stop our guide chose was spot‑on. Between the atmosphere, the flavors, and the insights into Bilbao’s heritage, this was a truly memorable experience. I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting the city. * Apologies for not taking more pictures during the tour but I was too busy enjoying the food and drinks! 🙃

Outstanding! - Oskar made this tour so interesting. The food and wine he choose at each bar were outstanding. He was so personable that if felt like we were out on a Saturday night with a good friend. We highly recommend this tour. Do it early in your trip as you’ll want to go back to the places you were introduced to. Thank you Oskar for a very memorable evening.

Pìnxtos and history - Since this is our first visit to Bilbao, we booked this for our first night primarily to get us oriented to the city. It was so much more than that! Our guide was passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. The 4 places we visited were very local. Even if we had found them, we wouldn't have known the best things to order. Let's just say Bilbao deserves its reputation as a Gastronomic center and this tour is a great way to explore it.

Wonderful evening - This was a last minute booking and it turned out that my husband and I were the only people in the group. This was great because that way we had our guide Oscar all to ourselves. He showed us local bars and introduced us to a variety of Pintxos, local wines and cider. He also told us about the history as well as present topicsof the city and region. We had a great time!
