Such an authentic experience with Roberto sharing his cultural and local cuisine knowledge of Bilbao and the Basque region. He took us to where the locals eat and the food was fresh and expertly prepared. He went out of his way to assist us and provide expert tips to assist our journey. Highly recommended.

A must in Bilbao!

Mary_K, May 2024

So much fun. Really got to know the history, culture and food of the city. Oscar was an amazing guide and we learned so much and had a lot of fun!

Amazing pintxos tour!

Chris_S, Apr 2024

Oscar was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly, helpful and funny! He showed us amazing pintxos and showed us around the new and old town of Bilbao.

An experience to be shared

Terry_V, Apr 2024

Highly recommend

Cheryl_H, Mar 2024

This was one of our favorite tours while in Bilbao. Being from the states, pintxos is a very different concept for us. So it was a little challenging for us to go out. Robert was awesome. He took us on a tour of Bilbao and shared information about the Basque culture and some history of Bilbao. We went to 4 different bars around the Old town that were great. We tasted a few different pintxos and paired with wine. I would not miss this on your visit. I would make sure you do it early so that you can get the best benefit. We even made new friends and shared a bottle of wine together in plaza nueva. Excellent experience.

Very good trip about come hungry

rayer_g, Oct 2023

Oskar is a very friendly nice guy with whom we felt ourselves very comfortable from the first minutes. We visited 4 places to test pintxos and wine or beer or other interesting drinks and enjoyed very much. He met our expectations to test pintxos with meat and only with fish or see food. Oskar also told a little bit about history of city and basque’s country, pintxos. The problem that we arrived not very hungry and thirsty. And this fact spoiled our experience. And additional thing: if you mix different drinks: wine, beer or anything else, then it could be a problem later on…

Oscar was a great guide...

Andrew_B, Sep 2023

Oscar was a great guide and gave us a real feel for the city. The pinxtos and drinks were fun but the real benefit was Oscar explaining the history of the city.

Incredible tour

Saoirse_M, Sep 2023

Absolutely incredible tour with Oscar. We did the tour on our first full day in Bilbao and it really helped us find our way around the city and we were given great recommendations for our trip. We had an absolute blast!

Excellent introduction to Bilbao and pintxos; great guide

tj_p, Aug 2023

Oscar was an engaging and knowledgeable guide who clearly enjoyed showing us around Bilbao. We learned a lot about Bilbao’s history and Basque traditions while enjoying great pintxos and drinks.

Great food and fun!

Ken_C, Aug 2023

We never would have discovered the Pintxos locations without our guide. He was local to Bilbao and knew every street and alleyway. His food recommendations were perfect.

Excellent experience

Mary_H, Jul 2023

Excellent tour and would highly recommend - very knowledgeable guide and excellent hosting skills😊Eskerrik Asko!

Excellent Pinxtos Tour

Nicole_G, Jul 2023

Roberto was an amazing tour guide. He really tried to find places that catered to our interests. He was informative and gave us recommendations for our next stop on our trip. Really really enjoyable

Friendly, informative and the perfect way to get to know the city

Tom_P, Jun 2023

A truly awesome experience. Oscar took us on an informal tour starting in the new town and ending in the old. He had plenty of insight into the history of Bilbao and the Basque Country which he shared in a relaxed, improvised way that allowed us to ask questions and get to know him too. He took note of our culinary interests and sought to share the best pintxos and drinks given our preferences. He even shared a list of other stops we might like to make next time we’re in town. Honestly worth every penny. A bilbainada!

Very nice

Germaine_S, May 2023

Some historical background information about Bilbao and some nice bites and wines. Very nice combination.

A Wonderful Taste of Balboa!

Paula_K, May 2023

Roberto was the perfect guide. He shared the historical, cultural & architectural history of the Old Town as we all very much enjoyed his selection of delicious pintxios unique to each restaurant. Highly recommend.

A great way to be introduced to pintxos!

Carol_E, May 2023

Our guide Roberto was knowledgeable about pintxos, wine and the history of Bilbloa. We had a wonderful evening.

Unforgettable Evening

Thomas_N, Apr 2023

Roberto was our tour guide. He was so great at giving us historical information about the city, but had also arranged a perfect assortment of wines and pintxos for us to enjoy. We had such a fun evening and were so grateful for the experience. He was responsible for some of our fondest memories of our time in Bilbao.

A Great Night Out!

alsnjm, Apr 2023

This tour is so fun and informative. Oskar took us to some authentic bars where all the pintxos were freshly grilled. We tried txakoli and rioja wines, kalimotxo (red eine and cola) and a marianito. Oskar is a great guide!

Wonderful introduction to Bilbao

Irvine_A, Feb 2023

Had such a great time in this tour. We were in a very small group and it felt like Roberto, our guide, was an old friend showing us around town. We went to some really good places and had amazing pintxos and wine. We liked them so much that we returned the next day for more!

Great food!

Sharon_C, Feb 2023

It was a great intro tour to Bilbao. Roberto was an excellent guide and took us to some great spots. The quantity of food is four Pintxos and four drinks.

So much fun!!!

Kamille_M, Dec 2022

This tour was such a blast and a great way to learn about Bilbao’s culture through history, drinks, & food. We got to hang with the locals away from some of the tourist spots. The pintxos we got to try were so delicious and we got to sample the local beers and cocktails. Our guide Cacho was super knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun to spend time with. It was the highlight of trip to Bilbao and we highly recommend this tour!
