We had a great time on... - We had a great time on this food tour. Our guide, Irene, was so energized and fun! She took us to very special places where we tasted some pintxos that had won competitions, plus some traditional ones. The wine pairings were delicious at each of five stops. Irene is a local, and proudly told us many interesting tidbits about the history and culture of Bilbao and the Basque people. We had a nice small group and made new friends from Sweden and from Chicago. This was a highlight!

Fun intro activity to Bilbao - Fun and knowledgeable host Olieia made a great introduction to Bilbao through pintxos and wines. Would recommend as first activity on arrival - an opportunity to make connections with other travellers.
