Don’t miss this fabulous introduction to the good snd wine of Bilbao - This was a great evening out and well worth the money. Our charming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide Maria met us at the easy to find meeting place with two other couples and a single and whisked us off to a tour of her favourite places. It felt like we were on a night out with friends visiting all our favourite bars and restaurants. At each place we were given a warm welcome and sat at a reserved table after which we were supplied with the most delicious food and drink. We were given plenty of time to chat and get to know each other, but Maria was on hand to explain the food, describe the wine and tell us about the area, traditions and language. Such a great introduction to the city. Two pieces of advice - book this early in your visit, and arrive hungry! Five lovely restaurants, nine generous plates of food, you will be stuffed full by the end of the night and will go home happy and excited to explore the rest of the city.

Fun, sociable and tasty. - Really enjoyed this experience. Wonderful selection of pintxos, and they were able to cater for vegetarian as well as gluten free within the group of 6. The drinks were also plentiful and varied- not just wine. Jack was our host and he took the trouble to give us a brief history of Bilboa, and was happy to answer all questions. We had a fun evening and recommend it as a good way to eat and drink local specialities and gain a better understanding of the local culture.

Just do it!! - From the moment it started, it felt like being shown around the city by a friend who knows every secret, every story and every perfect pintxo bar. The guide was incredible…warm, funny, and packed with knowledge. I learned so much about Bilbao’s history and culture without ever feeling overwhelmed. And the pintxos? Amazing. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, with beautiful wines that paired perfectly. I tried things I never would’ve ordered on my own and loved every single one. It was the perfect mix of food, culture, and fun. If you’re visiting Bilbao, this tour is absolutely unmissable. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Pintxo tour in Bilbao - We went to five places to experience different wine pintxos and wine pairings. Both the food and wine were excellent. Our guy Jack was extremely knowledgeable about not only the food, but the customs and history of the Basque area.

Shocking cancelling at last minute - 1 Day before we received a message saying could we change our booking which was prepaid two months before from 12:30 to 17:30, phoned them up and they denied we had a booking, then got a message it had been cancelled, not exactly a great outfit. Now been taken off their WhatsApp list.
