Coming back for more! - James is a great guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very approachable. The food was amazing and the recommended beverage pairings impeccable! Not only would I recommend this tour to anyone, but as a result of it, I plan to return to Bilbao or delve deeper into the culture and, of course, eat more pintxos!

Amazing tour! Great food and lots of fun! - We had an excellent tour with Jack. We visited a number of bars and had several pintxos and wine at each stop. Alternative drinks were provided for those of us who preferred something other than wine. The pintxos at every stop were delicious with huge servings. You will not leave hungry! We learned a lot about Bilbao’s food and culture. I highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour with a local - Great tour with Maria. Fantastic wine and pintxo pairings in both the old and new town. Great people on the tour from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and Switzerland. I would thoroughly recommend this tour as Maria was local and ate and drank in many of the places visited.
