Pinchos and Wine - Excellent tour. Lots of pinchos and lots of drinks. Great friendly tour guide with good local knowledge and information. Much better value than a similar tour in San Sebastián.

Excellent and delicious way to see Bilbao - James was an excellent guide! He took us to a number of different (and delicious) pintxo spots all while giving us a history of the area, the people and the customs. We also enjoyed tasty beverages. It was a good amount of (great) food and drinks. Kids were a little pickier but James let them choose different pintxos. We left full and happy!

A food and drink tour that is a must! - We scheduled this tour while in port from a cruise ship vacation. This tour was one of our favorites from the 2 week trip! Adrian did an amazing job of sharing the history and culture behind pinxtos and he walked us through various parts of the city. There was SO much food and beverage on this tour that we definitely did not eat dinner that evening! All the pinxtos were amazing and Adrian selected many different ones for us to try - each bar has its own specialty and then other local popular ones. It was easy to see that Adrian was very passionate about the food, his culture and his city. We loved spending a few hours with him to learn about the culture and flavor of Bilbao! Food tours are one of our favorite things to do when traveling and this pinxtos tour with Adrian was a standout and one of our favorites! Thank you!
