Excellent tour of old town Bilbao with a true Basque guiding us. Irene was terrific, full of useful knowledge and excellent suggestions for Bilbao as well as my next stop. The pintxas and wine pairings were spot on. Take this tour on Day 1 of your Bilbao stay. You won't regret it!

A great way to start a visit to Bilbao. You get to know what the locals eat & drink. You also get a history of the Basque people.

Spent a very pleasurable evening learning about basque culture and having amazing food. The guide was outstanding and helped to create a lasting memory. Got to taste a wide variety of pintxos with excellent wine/cidre pairings. Places were very mindfully picked and the guide was adorable. She did an excellent job!

The experience was very enjoyable. The tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. I do think it’s important to know that most of the wine pairings were with seafood.

Our tour guide Olaia was amazing. She is a multitiered educational teacher who gives tours because it’s her heritage and passion. If you get to go on a tour with her, you will be very happy.
