Overview

With a local born and raised in Bilbao 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 100% 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!
