Amazing!

Our local tour guide, Olaia, was fantastic - very knowledgeable and super friendly. She took us to five great Pintxo bars in the old town that we may not have stumbled upon ourselves, some of which we returned to later in our trip (they were that good).

Don’t be put off by the £80 price tag, it is definitely worth the money.

Amazing!

A fantastic introduction to the world of Basque Pintxos. Our tour guide Irene was excellent and she took us to the 5 best places in Bilbao - ones we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. We sampled 10 generous Pintxos from traditional to modern and also the local wine and cider. We were also given a lot of information about the history of the Basque region which was really interesting. We’ve done a number of food tours and I can honestly say that this one was the best so far ! Thank you
