Picture this: a local foodie taking you to the hidden gems of Bilbao, from the tastiest street food to cozy restaurants serving up the best traditional dishes. Whether you're into sampling street food, exploring local markets, or dining at off-the-beaten-path spots, your guide will create a tour that's all about enjoying the true flavors of Bilbao.

The best part? These food tours are just for you. No big crowds, no fixed menus – it's all about what you want to taste and experience. Whether you're snapping photos of colorful dishes, learning the stories behind the food, or simply savoring each bite, the tour moves at your pace.

      Review about Santiago

      "Santiago is an outstanding guide with extensive knowledge of Bilbao, its history, and its present. While the food tour alone was great, his additional insights, guidance, and answers to our questions vastly enhanced our entire visit to Bilbao."

      Like spending a day with a friend

      "We had a wonderful time on our food tour in Bilbao with Mabel. The four of us wanted to use the food tour as a way both to get an introduction to Bilbao and also to have a guide to the Pintxos culture of the Basque country. Mabel was perfect for our day, relaxing and easy to spend the day with, easily adapted to our travel style (we are slow eaters). She is exactly why we use guides from WithLocals every time we travel: extremely knowledgeable but also like spending a relaxing half-day with a friend who lives in the town and wants you to get a good feel of what the city is really like. Unlike traditional guides with whom you feel you are hearing the same thing as all previous guests, with Mabel you feel like you are having a unique experience. Thanks, Mabel!"

      An evening of good food and company

      It was like exploring Bilbao with a Friend

      "Laura was friendly, warm and so easy to talk to. We felt like we were exploring the city with a friend. My mum and I are sensitive to gluten, but Laura was happy to tailor our tour to suit. Sadly for Laura, many of the places she had planned to take us were closed (she couldn't have known) but she did what she could to make sure we still had a great afternoon and we tried some of the beautiful food that Bilbao had to offer. We would take a tour with her again in a heartbeat. "

      Quality Time With Laura

      "My wife & I experienced a wonderful private pintxos walking tour with Laura. We came into the Port of Bilbao on an Oceania cruise ship and met her in the old city at a specified meeting spot. She asked us our food preferences and adapted the tour to them. We sampled at least the amount called for of pintxos and drinks. The pintxos were all excellent! Prior to heading back to the port, we wanted to visit the Guggenheim Museum to check out the architecture and dog topiary. Laura walked there with us as a surprise that we loved We taxied back to the port, completing a wonderful tour of great value. "
