Excellent pintxos tour in Bilbao - We had a really fantastic tour with our guide Lei. She was very enthusiastic and managed to tell about the fascinating basque language/culture while at the same time showing us 5 different and charming bars, serving excellent pintxos and wine/cider. We really had a great time and I would not hesitate to give my highest recommendation to this tour.

What a great fun way to... - What a great fun way to spend your time eating around Bilbao. The guide was super energetic, easy to talk to, and she took us to all great spots. I enjoyed learning about Basque culture, history of resilience and innovation through their cooking. It's a no brainer to do this tour if you want to eat and drink your way around town while still going beyond the surface as a traveler.
