The Rich History of Bilbao's Pintxos Culture
Pintxos began as simple bites skewered with a 'pincho' (toothpick) onto bread. Over time, they have evolved from humble tavern snacks into the elaborate, gourmet creations you'll taste on a Pintxos tour.

Kristine about Rune
"Rune tok oss med på en flott tur med masse fine kultur stopp👌🏻 anbefales på det varmeste🥰"
"Who knew when we booked this tour that it landed on a major local holiday! Thousands of people in the narrow streets singing and laughing and enjoying Bilbao nightlife. And Rune navigated us through it like a pro. We had plenty of delectable tastes, learning about the culture and Basque life in general. An evening of wonderful, delicious chaos. What a way to experience Bilbao!"
"Rune gave us not only a great food tour, wij had delicious pintxos en wijn, he told us a lot about Bilbao and had great tips.
We did the tour on our first evening and felt very prepared for further exploring after the tour. I can highly recommend this. "
"We shared a delightful evening with Laura. We made an instant connection as we are also from Scotland. We visited several bars and tried many of the local foods. There was also lots of insights into the culture and lifestyle of Bilbao."
