The only Food and photography expert-led PINTXO TOUR in Bilbao. Join me for a walking, photographing, eating & drinking experience you'll never forget! We'll visit 5 different bars for a glass & a pintxo (sophisticated Basque tapa) at each one. It's a full meal & exactly what the locals like to do. You'll BE A LOCAL with me! Along the route, I'll show you the sites & tell you about the history & culture of the Basque Country, we will visit the RIBERA MARKET but my focus is definitely on FOOD & DRINK. My route & the menu changes daily, but we'll do a mix from the traditional to the modern. Expect to eat anchovies, octopus, bacalao in pil-pil sauce, squid, foie gras, local cheese... and ending of course, with a traditional dessert. Thirsty? I'm great at pairing the perfect pour with the perfect plate, from local ciders to white wine (txakoli), young & aged Tempranillo​ from La Rioja, beer & beyond maybe we'll dip into some vermouth too? Or want to try our local drink Kalimotxo?
Lunch
We will visit 5 bars for 1 or 2 pintxos (the most sophisticated tapas) and drinks in each one, that represents the very best gastronomy of Bilbao.

The best food and drink tour of Bilbao

After our other food tour was canceled due to low attendance, my wife and I found Oihana, and I’m so glad the first tour fell through because this turned out to be one of our favorite experiences in Bilbao. Oihana was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a good friend. We visited several spots to try different pintxos, and Oihana made sure the experience felt personalized just for us. She even encouraged us to try the “original” pintxo with a...read more

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words :) Reading this truly made my day. I’m so happy that, despite the initial change of plans, we ended up sharing such a special experience together in Bilbao. It was a real pleasure showing you the city, its food and stories, and I loved seeing your reaction to the “original” pintxo, that one has a way of winning people over 😉. Knowing it stayed with you after the tour means a lot to me. Thank you for your openness, your curiosity, and for making the walk feel like time spent with friends. That’s exactly the atmosphere I always hope to create. I hope the rest of your journey was wonderful, and if Bilbao ever brings you back, it would be a joy to welcome you again. Warmest thanks, Oihana

Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes me really happy to know you enjoyed the experience and felt connected to Bilbao’s food culture — that’s exactly what I hope for in every tour 😊 It was a real pleasure to share this time with you. If you ever come back to the Basque Country, I’ll be here with more pintxos, stories, and good wine! Warm regards, Oihana

The ultimate Bilbao experience

I would highly recommend this tour. It was a good balance between being informative, providing history of Bilbao and enjoying some wonderful food. Oihana was an excellent guide and we felt like we were travelling with a friend which made for great conversation.

Great tour on a busy match day!

We loved our food tour with Oihana! She was a very fun and knowledgeable guide, and took us to fun spots with delicious pintxos. Bilbao was very crowded with a big match that night, and she navigated the crowds and bars like a pro. We were grateful that she and the bars accommodated two in our group who needed to be gluten free due to celiac disease. They loved their pintxos, which were just as creative and delicious as ours. We knew the bars could not guarantee no cross-contamination with...read more

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was a real pleasure sharing Bilbao with you all — such a fun and lovely group. I’m so glad you enjoyed the pintxos and that we could find creative and tasty gluten-free options for everyone to enjoy safely. The city was buzzing that evening with all the football excitement, so I really appreciate your great energy and flexibility as we navigated through the crowds! If you ever come back to Bilbao, don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to see you again and show you even more hidden corners of the city. Warmest wishes from Bilbao, Oihana

My tour had 5 people in it, which meant Oihani the tour guide gave her full attention to us. The pinxto we had along with the wine was perfect. Her knowledge of Bilbao and the Basque region was spot on.

He Charles! Thank you so much for your lovely message — it truly means a lot to me. It was a pleasure sharing the pintxos, wine, and the stories of Bilbao and the Basque region with such a great group. I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience and that everything felt just right because the day had a million of complications, manifestations, football match ... a lot of peple!! ;) Wishing you all the best in your travels, and if you're ever back in Bilbao, I'd love to see you again. Warm regards, Oihana
