    Was it worth the €150 each?

    Guide very knowledgeable about Bilbao. Visited 4 Pintxos bars :- 2 in the new town (not recently visited ourselves) which the food and wine in both of these bars were very nice, the bottles of wine were left on the table and we refilled our glasses. 2 in the Nouveau Square (one which we we had already visited), food in the first bar was average, wine was nice, bottle removed straight away from the table and poured into the customers glasses on the table behind. The final bar, the first pintxos we had had the night before, the second was very oily, the food was not eaten it was taken away and we were not offered an alternative, again the wine was not left on the table and our had to HOST serve the food at this bar. The EXPERIENCE was not worth €150 each, from reading the website and reviews for the €89, you have the same information about BILBAO (which was very interesting) but feel the FOOD experience would not have been much different/high end.

    Response from the operator: As you can understand, for 4 people we cannot open 3 bottles of premium wine in each restaurant, because some people dont drink red and some people dont drink wine and then a guest feels like having cava instead… for 150e does not make sense, what you wanted was a 500e experience at a cheap price, its common sense

    Skip the restaurant and take this gourmet tour!

    The evening with Adrea was the highlight of our visit. Fine wines, specially selected pintxos, and lively conversation. Not a tour - more like a friend sharing their favorites.

    Excellent tour, would recommend

    We had a fantastic tour with Maria who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She brought us to some wonderful bars where the food and drink were excellent (where we could even pour cider like a local). The pinxtos were varied and very tasty including some items I'd never normally try. Maria also helpfully pointed out other areas of interest, as well as good places to visit for the rest of our stay.

    The wines were perfectly paired

    This tour exceeded all our expectations. We visited several pintxos bars and tasted a variety of dishes, each more delicious than the last. The wines were perfectly paired, and our guide shared so much about Basque culture and the history of the dishes. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bilbao!

    Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.

    How much does Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bilbao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bilbao is not rushed.

    Is Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bilbao can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bilbao and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bilbao within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bilbao?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bilbao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Award-Winning Bilbao Food Tour & Wine Pairing by Basque Local, Bilbao Food Tour: Pintxos, Drinks, and Tapas with a Local, Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bilbao?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bilbao?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Dinner; Bottled water; Private reservation in 4 top restaurants; Snacks; and Printed menu of the pintxos & drinks of the experience. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour?

    +

    we will meet in front of the "Bizkaiko Foru Aldundiaren jauregia" on the stairs. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Norwegian, German, Russian, Swedish, Greek, English, Italian, French, Danish and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Gourmet Pintxos & Premium Wines small groups Food Tour if the weather is bad?
