Overview

Come discover a beautiful city and the amazing Basque cuisine on our 3-hour ‘pintxos’ (Basque tapas) tour of Bilbao. Experience the 700 year old streets of the Old Town with a professional local Basque guide who is an expert in the Bilbao culinary scene. We are the original "Bilbao Food Tour" having pioneered the idea in the city starting in 2014.

We will visit 5 bars and sample pintxo styles ranging from traditional to modern. Your guide will pair each tasting with an excellent wine that compliments the pintxo. Wines that we recommend include red wine from La Rioja, Txakoli (a lightly sparkling white wine from the Basque Coast), and more!

Stop At: Casco Viejo, Plaza Nueva, 10. 2 Izda., 48005 Bilbao Spain

-We will do as the Basques do! A bar hopping tour of Bilbao. We (the Basque people!) demonstrate our love of gastronomy with these tasty little bar snacks.

-We will try the special pintxos, the ones you don't see on the bars! I will order them for you and the chef will make them instantly for you.

-We are going to sample the traditional pintxos and also others that have been given AWARDS in the famous pintxo competitions. You will experience all Bilbao has to offer on this tour with stops at very modern bars, and also stops at some of the oldest bars in the city!

-I will teach you how to order pintxos. After my tour you will have the confidence to go in any bar in the city!

-I pair the pintxos with a wine most suitable to type of food we are experiencing. We will sample red and white wine, cider, and other drinks on this tour.

-I know the best bars in my city and what to order as I was born and raised in Bilbao!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with tour guide, Olaia. Her extensive knowledge of the city's history added depth to the tour, and she was always ready with detailed answers to our questions. The small group size of just eight people was perfect, allowing for an intimate and personalized experience. The bars we visited were well-chosen and conveniently located, making the tour enjoyable without excessive walking. The amount of food and wine provided was just right, leaving us completely satisfied by the end of the night. Olaia's expertise and the overall experience made it a memorable evening that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Bilbao!
