Guide very knowledgeable about Bilbao. Visited 4 Pintxos bars :- 2 in the new town (not recently visited ourselves) which the food and wine in both of these bars were very nice, the bottles of wine were left on the table and we refilled our glasses. 2 in the Nouveau Square (one which we we had already visited), food in the first bar was average, wine was nice, bottle removed straight away from the table and poured into the customers glasses on the table behind. The final bar, the first pintxos we had had the night before, the second was very oily, the food was not eaten it was taken away and we were not offered an alternative, again the wine was not left on the table and our had to HOST serve the food at this bar. The EXPERIENCE was not worth €150 each, from reading the website and reviews for the €89, you have the same information about BILBAO (which was very interesting) but feel the FOOD experience would not have been much different/high end.
As you can understand, for 4 people we cannot open 3 bottles of premium wine in each restaurant, because some people dont drink red and some people dont drink wine and then a guest feels like having cava instead… for 150e does not make sense, what you wanted was a 500e experience at a cheap price, its common sense
The evening with Adrea was the highlight of our visit. Fine wines, specially selected pintxos, and lively conversation. Not a tour - more like a friend sharing their favorites.
We had a fantastic tour with Maria who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She brought us to some wonderful bars where the food and drink were excellent (where we could even pour cider like a local). The pinxtos were varied and very tasty including some items I'd never normally try. Maria also helpfully pointed out other areas of interest, as well as good places to visit for the rest of our stay.
This tour exceeded all our expectations. We visited several pintxos bars and tasted a variety of dishes, each more delicious than the last. The wines were perfectly paired, and our guide shared so much about Basque culture and the history of the dishes. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bilbao!
If you love gourmet food and wine, this tour is for you! The pintxos were exquisite, with each bar offering something different and unique. The wines we sampled were equally impressive. Our guide was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. A fantastic way to experience Bilbao's food scene!
We had an amazing evening at this place. Lovely surroundings, exceptional food and wines you don’t get to taste everywhere. We definitively will come back!
This was a culinary delight, showcasing exquisite flavors and top-notch local wines. Expert guides took us to many bars. I think its a must-do for foodies seeking the best of Basque cuisine!
Incredible experience! It was our first time eating Pintxos, honestly we thought spanish food was only tapas, but we had such a pleasant surprise. The food was really fantastic, (and way better than tapas!) and the guide made us all feel like a group of friends. Very informative about the city's history and basque culture as well!
