Many pintxos and 5 wines pairings included. You will get to know the history of Basque language and the Basque people, differences between Spain and Basque country and the past and present of Bilbao.

A good variety of food and wine.
A fantastic experience. Jack was a great guide with a wonderful love and knowledge of Bilbao. . He was very generous with the food and drink and good fun to be with. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour
Great food tour. Tasted about 10 dishes and the guide Adria was very knowledgable and funny. Walked through both old town and new town.
A fun few hours of trying different region foods and drink at 5 different establishments. Our guide Jack was great, including some history and context to the Basque region.
So I recently visited a Michelin Star restaurant for $125. This was $100. I understand I’m paying mostly for the guide who was fantastic, flexible, knowledgeable, cordial, top notch, etc. but expected a bit more from the food. The very young wines were nice. I’d recommend this but would suggest looking see for something with both charm and taste. .. or look for a listing of places which have received awards for their pinxos.
1. All of the restaurants have received awards. 2. Associating quality to age is the biggest new world misconception about wine, we explained this during the tour, older wines are not appropriate for food tastings. 3. Basic economics, you went to a 10% vat business directly (restaurant), try booking that restaurant through a reseller and change tax to 21% 4. Everyone else on the tour rated it 5 stars…
It was a wonderful experience. Jack, our guide was outstanding. The food and wine was superb. A joyful day.
Outstanding tour. Great Pinxtos, great guide (Kara) a really super evening, It’s a very social way to see plenty of the Old town too.
A great experience! Kara was exceptional-the food & drink were outstanding & follow the advice to come hungry! Highly recommend-
It was a very successful tour, with enthusiastic guide Jack leading us from Pinxtos bar to Pinxtos bar. Delicious Pinxtos and of course nice drinks, especially closing bar with a special kind of PX was delicious. The group consisted of English, Americans, Canadians, an Austrian and Australian and us Dutchies. Super cozy. Overall worth the money and highly recommended! Thanks Jack!
