Excellent food and excellent value - Muchas gracias a Ina. She was a fantastic tour guide. We were introduced to an excellent selection of pintxos and local wines and cider. The ruta gastronómica was the perfect introduction to the food and drink of Bilbao. Next time we’ll go for the gourmet tour. Thank you!

Great food, sprinkled with a little history and a lot of culture, book it! - Jack, was great. Welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable.. I knew a little of Basque history and culture yet left with such a greater understanding. He is a great representative of what they are about..I almost forgot, this is a good tour I am reviewing.the pintxos were great. Each very unique and they look as good as they taste. Come hungry as they give you so much.. I don't drink, yet my daughter and fellow tourists raved about the wine.. I highly recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed!

Food and drink mostly - Nice tour, nothing more than that... very little history, little talk, mostly food and drink. Very little real content
