An Unforgettable Taste of Bilbao
One of the best food tours we’ve ever done! Irene was the perfect Bilbao guide — warm, funny, knowledgeable and passionate about her Basque heritage. She took us to authentic local spots we would never have discovered ourselves and introduced us to delicious Basque food and pintxos we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own. Great food, lots of laughs and a genuine taste of local life in Bilbao. An absolute highlight of our trip and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Tasty pintxos and tapas!
The food tour was excellent (I believe the guide's name was Usoa). She took us to a handful of different places, where we tried many delicious pintxos and tapas. The food was so tasty, I would do the same tour when I return to Bilbao.

I loved the food, I strongly recommend the tour, can't find words to praise Jack -the guide for making it all very pleasant, informative and a good memory. But there should be a different price for people who do not want to drink 5 glasses of wine. Nonalcoholic variant

Amazing!
We had such an amazing time on our pintxos tour! Jack Haley was a fantastic guide. He was warm, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and so accommodating of our dietary restrictions. He really made us feel taken care of and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.The food was absolutely amazing, and we loved getting to try different pintxos while learning more about the local food and culture. Jack’s knowledge and personality made the experience even more special.We genuinely loved every minute of the tour and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting San Sebastián, we highly recommend it, and definitely ask for Jack!

The Morning Show

Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao

The Morning Show
Arrived on Monday early in the morning. The nature is breathtaking, waves of the ocean providing the background noise, fresh breeze in the air. Nobodody around, not even at the entrance - seemingly you are free to enter (however I bought tickets in advance). We spent here around 2 hours just walking up and down, looking at this spectacular scene from different angles. The homepage is providing contradicting information, but here is some disclaimer: you cannot enter the chapel at any time. It is hardly open during the year. There is entry fee which you should pay, but.. There is parking if you come early, I did not see any parking device where you could pay.If you can only afford one thing whilst around Bilbao, then this is the place to visit. Beaches around: Bakioko hondartza is large, Bermeo is very small.

What a great experience this was… not just for the delicious food and drinks along the way, but also such fascinating insights into the stories and culture of Bilbao, both historical and contemporary. Our guide Paul was super friendly, knowledgeable and a great host. Heads up…Don’t eat before you go! There’s so much on offer and you’ll want to try it all.
