  • An Afternoon with the Basque King, Jack 👑

    We were lucky enough to have Jack as our guide for the afternoon tour, and he made the experience fantastic from start to finish. Our small group was the perfect size, and Jack’s energy and knowledge stood out right away. He shared stories about Bilbao’s history over a glass of white wine and an incredible crab pintxo on toasted bread that set the tone for the rest of the tour. Each stop after that had its own local specialty, and Jack kept the pace just right, staying engaging, funny, and always making sure we were enjoying ourselves. This was easily one of the best tours we’ve done anywhere. If you’re in Bilbao, book it and hope you get Jack. You won’t be disappointed.

    Best food tour I have been on. We were lucky enough to have James as our guide and a group of people who really enjoyed each others company as well. Food and wine was amazing but almost became secondary.

    We had a great time on our Pinxos tour. James was really knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like a really relaxed ad fun time and reflective of the attitude of Bilboa. Everything went very smoothly. And all the food was amazing, everything we had was delicious and different, and there was lots of alcohol available.

    The food was exceptional. Every dish we ordered was packed with authentic flavour and beautifully presented. The lamb rogan josh was melt-in-the-mouth tender, and the chicken tikka masala had the perfect balance of spice and creaminess. The naan bread was fresh, fluffy, and just the right amount of crispy on the edges.

    A little tough tough finding but our Uber driver got us there. We took the free shuttle to the Intermodal bus station, then an Uber to the location listed.
