One of our favorite tours ever - so fun and so delicious! Hector, our guide, made everything fun and easy going. The food, ciders & wines were wonderful, and there is alot included in this tour - we tasted bites or pintxos of steak, duck, mussels, anchovies, potatoes, and the local Iberico ham - we didn't even need dinner afterwards. Doing this tour on our first day was the perfect way to get oriented and understand the pintxo bars and food culture so we could really maximize the rest of our time here. It's an amazing area to explore!
