This was a really enjoyable day trip and a good way to spend a day if staying in Bilbao. There was lots of opportunities to ask the guide questions but also time to spend exploring on your own.

The guide was helpful and informative. We were better prepared to enjoy pintxo throughout the rest of our stay after starting with the tour and understanding the culture.

Highly recommend this tour. San Sebastián is beautiful and if you’re planning a visit to northern Spain, should definitely include it with your visit.
