1st Rate Experience - 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!

Well worth the money - 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.

Excellent tour - if you're going to Bilbao, this should be your first choice for a food and wine tour. - 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.

Wonderful evening with friends in Bilbao - We had an amazing experience on our tour with Maria! We visited Pintxos bars in various locations in Bilbao. She was wonderful with excellent choices of food and beverages, and information on her selections and on the Bilbao region. Highly recommended.

A fun evening, sampling lovely basque food and drink - We really enjoyed our tour with Jack and 5 others to a number of Pintxos bars. We sampled wine, cider and a cocktail alongside a range of yum pintxos. As a veggie, it was great that this was catered for too. We were very full (and rather tipsy) by the end and we’d made some new friends too! This was interspersed with some info about Basque history and language
