"We could not have asked for a better tour guide. We asked a lot of questions, not only about the food, which was wonderful, and Santiago answered them all completely.
Pintxos are a great way to sample many flavors of Basque Country food. We highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
Thank you, Santiago!"

A very pleasant evening with great food.
"Endika was a great host. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and helped us experience what Saturday night in Bilbao would be as a local. We covered history, economics, politics and of course food and drink while visiting some very atmospheric venues and eating great food. Highly recommended. "
"We had a very good time with Laura exploring several Pinxtos bars in the old town of Bilbao. She is very open and easy going, has a good sense of what her guests like and is able to adjust as needed. As we met on our first evening, she gave us a lot of tipps for the coming days. Thank you Laura!"
"Endika really planned our tour so well. It was informative and lovely little places for Pintxos. It was a real highlight of our stay and made our trip to Bilbao really special ❤️ thank you "
Ready to taste the heart of the Basque Country? A private Pintxos tour in Bilbao is your all-access pass to a world of flavor. Let a local guide show you the city's hidden gems on this unique culinary adventure.
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.
Master 'Txikiteo' on Your Bilbao Pintxos Tour
Join the beloved local tradition of 'txikiteo' – hopping from bar to bar, enjoying small drinks and delicious pintxos. It’s more than a food tour; it's about socializing and living the vibrant Bilbao life.
A Must-Try Pintxo: The Iconic 'Gilda'
Named after Rita Hayworth's femme fatale character, the 'Gilda' is the original pintxo. Experience a spicy, salty, and sour flavor explosion from an olive, a guindilla pepper, and an anchovy. A true classic!
Pintxos Etiquette: Eat Like a Local in Bilbao
Ordering pintxos is an art! Hot pintxos are ordered from the kitchen, while cold ones are often self-service. Your local guide will navigate the unspoken rules, so you can enjoy your Pintxos tour with confidence.

Fabulous pinxos culture in Bilbao
"Laura was very friendly and welcoming! We experienced great food, wine and local drinks and got a great introduction to Bilbao.
We visited 5 bars in different parts of the city giving us a good overview of the Bilbao Pinxos culture"
"We are a family of three and we had a fun evening with Rune exploring Pintxos in Bilbao. Rune chose several bars with different vibes. We tried cider, wine and beer as well as a number of interesting and yummy pintxos. Rune’s English is excellent and he is knowledgeable about Bilbao and the Basque culture.
It was a great introduction to the city and pintxos. Highly recommend. "
