Pintxos wine and good people - Enjoyed a fun evening out with delicious pintxos tasting and sampling wines. Our guide was an exhuberant host filling us in on the history and life of Basque country. Meeting and conversing with other tourists on the food tour also added to a great time

A great introduction to Bilbao - A great introduction to the food and culture of the Basque area of Spain. Irene is a terrific tour guide who made us all feel welcome. She was happy to answer our questions and give advice. This so useful as we did the tour on our first day in Bilbao. Maybe we were lucky but we had a very congenial group of fellow travellers and had great night with new friends.

A great way to discover the city and its culture - We had a really enjoyable evening with Irina and felt like we really learned a lot and got to know places that we would not otherwise have tried. Irina’s passion for her city shone through. Her English was excellent.

Do This Tour! - Olaia was an incredibly guide. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for all things Basque was amazing . The pintxos she chose for us were unique and delicious. The wine went so well with the food. Our group enjoyed the experience so much we shared an additional bottle of wine at the end of the tour. Cannot recommend enough!

Great night out. - We had a great night with Olaia, she is really fun and engaging. It made for a warm and happy group on such a cold night. The venues were excellent and showed a variety of styles of decor and pintoxs. It was great to chat with a Basque local, Olaia gave us insight into the Basque culture and society while plying us with delicious food and wine. We highly recommend this tour.

Awesome time in Bilbao! - This was one of the best tour experiences, and best FOOD tour experiences I have ever been on. Olaia was our guide, and was delightful, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. We learned far more than just the Bilbao food experience, and started our own Kuadrilla! What a great evening. I'll definitely be returning to Bilbao and will book another tour with this provider.
