Excursion to Vitoria, La Rioja and winery in Laguardia from Bilbao

11 hoursFree Cancellation

4 pintxos & 3 drinks included Pintxos are one of the best-known parts of Bilbao, but they're also part of something bigger: the way people meet, talk and spend time together. On this small-group experience, we'll walk through Bilbao's historic streets, moving from bar to bar and discovering the social culture behind pintxos. Along the way, we'll share five pintxos and three drinks while talking about Bilbao, Basque culture, traditions, history and everyday life. We'll show you how locals approach pintxos — how we order, how we move from one bar to another and why the experience around the food matters just as much as what's on the plate. There is a route, of course. But there doesn't need to be a script. Questions are welcome, conversations can take us in different directions, and we'll happily share recommendations for whatever you want to explore afterwards. Think of it less as following a food tour and more as going out for pintxos with someone who lives here.

What are people saying about Bilbao

Heather_J, Nov 2026

The guide knows a lot...

The guide knows a lot about the area. Wallace was very knowledgeable and helpful. I did another beundia tour with Stephan and he was great too. The guides tell you the local history and you can ask questions. Going on a tour gives you more opportunities to learn about the area however there are apparently plenty of buses to these places and you couldgo again if you wanted to spend more gine. Beautiful country and countryside x

Beautiful Trip, Great Guide

This was a great excursion and nice encapsulation of Basque Country! Gaztelugatxe was breathtaking. Particularly appreciated our guide Asir, who had a great knowledge of art history and contextualized the history of Guernica in a really compelling, engaging way.

Fantastic food tour in Bilbao

Gonzalo did a fantastic job telling us about the food as well as highlighting the history in Bilbao. His love for the area as well as the food and drink was very evident. Gonzalo was prompt, very personable, and took time to answer all of our questions. We never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

Group trip in the Basque Country

Definitely a nice day trip with many interesting things seen, Gaztelugatxe in particular was beautiful, truly a very fascinating place. The guide Wallace was very good, a young guy but truly very capable and quite qualified who speaks several foreign languages very well and does his job with passion.

La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from Bilbao

Andrew_F, Oct 2026

If you do just one tour while in Basque Country…

What a great tour - it far exceeded our expectations. Our guide for the day was Asier. We can’t say enough about Asier …he is professional, friendly, funny and super-knowledgeable about Bilbao, the Basque region and history, La Rioja and wine production. He speaks perfect English and answered all of our many, many questions. We were a small group of 5 and the whole day flowed really well. We stopped at 2 wineries - one large (Bodegas Luis Cañas) and one small (Bodegas Tritium) and had wine tastings and bread, cured meats and cheese at both. At both stops we had a tour and a talk by a winery employee. Anna at the first stop was amazing - I wish we had more time to learn so much more from her. The lady at the second stop (I can’t remember her name, sorry) was just as passionate about the subject but her English was not as proficient so it was a little difficult to understand some of her explanations. After the wineries we went on to the very pretty town of Laguardia for a very pleasant lunch. It was my partner’s 70th birthday that day and Asier very thoughtfully arranged for the restaurant to present a dessert with a candle in it …very kind. In all of our years of travel this tour was one of the best that we have done. Highly recommended. Andrew & Rob

Javier is the man to see

Just an outstanding tour! Javier was amazing! The tour included discussion of the outside of the building, the impact on Bilbao, special stories about the view, himself and the art inside he covered all the high points. His personality and special insights from 16 years of doing tours was just incredible worth visiting the inside and the outside with a personal tour 100% and Javier is the man to see.

The Authentic Bilbao Pintxos, Food & Wine Tour with a Local

Robert_K, Oct 2026

What I’d recommend on your first day in Bilbao

Quite a lot of pinchos to get through, so don’t come after a big meal. Great way to get settled into the city if this is your first visit. You may not like everything you try, although I enjoyed it all, but at least you have a quick intro to Bilbao, pinchos culture and where to go on your own.

Tour to the French Basque Country Biarritz Bayonne and San Juan de Luz

Marjorie_B, Sep 2026

Great value day out

This was a great trip as a taster of the French Basque region. Our guide, Aitor, gave us just the right amount of information at each stopping point and then we had some free time to explore or grab a coffee/lunch etc The three towns were lovely, but different. Excellent value for money
