Our guide Kara was great, her knowledge and love of the food and wine of the Basque region was infectious, all 5 restaurants we visited were worth going back to. We had a great international group, I was REALLY full, and it was very fun.
A wonderful experience...

Great tour with Maria. Fantastic wine and pintxo pairings in both the old and new town. Great people on the tour from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and Switzerland. I would thoroughly recommend this tour as Maria was local and ate and drank in many of the places visited.

Great choice of restaurants with food and drinks. Jack was friendly and informative. Different types of food and drinks, the group was great and had a brilliant time.
Fun pintxo tour, maybe overpriced ?

It was a lovely sociable introduction to the pintxo of Basque, the local wines and other drinks and a nice tour of 6 bars. The history part was a little rushed. We had a really lovely group which made the tour fun. It lasted 2.5 hours, but was billed as 3. It was fun but felt rushed and overpriced.
