Exceptional tour . Would definitely recommend to friends. Jack the tour guide was very knowledgeable about Basque history and his selection of pintos for tasting was perfect. A great experience.

Robert_A

Our guide was passionate about the food and culture. She made the tour a real pleasure. We learned about the history and current life in Bilbao

Scott_G

Our guide Adria, was incredibly informative, in a fun way. Not a textbook tour, it is a tour where we truly experience Pinxtos the way locals would consume, not the way tourists would consume. Questions were encouraged, and answered thoughtfully. Bravo!

Kaya the tour guide took us on a wonderful 3 hour tour of Bilbao, the food, the drink option were very good. We took the tour at the start of our trip, which allowed us to revisit the bars we enjoyed most.

Absolutely fantastic evening - Adria our guide was passionate and informed and delighted us at each stop with the food and wine he introduced to us. A great group of people from all over the world and lots of great conversations as we enjoyed our wine!

Jack_H

It was amazing and a must!! Adria our guide was passionate, informative and really looked after everyone. The food and wine were exceptional and plentiful. The group of 10 started as strangers and finished drinking into the night making new friendships. Far exceeded expectations !

We've never been to Bilbao before but decided that doing a food tour was an ideal way of finding our way around - being given a guided tour of the city with some local food and wine along the way. Adria was our guide. There were four of us in the group; the two of us from the UK and a very nice couple from Argentina. Adria had to explain everything in both English and Spanish which he did with ease. He was an excellent guide, and you could tell he was very proud of his Basque heritage and culture. We really enjoyed the tour, had some great food, wine and conversation along the way. We could not recommend Delight Bilbao enough. It was a superb tour and nothing was too much trouble.
