What to expect

Your guide meets you in the Old Town and leads you into the network of pintxos bars—small, crowded, lively places where locals prop themselves at the counter. At each bar, you'll order a few pintxos (skewered or stacked snacks), watch staff pour a glass of local wine or cider, and eat standing up whilst chatting. The pace is social rather than rushed. You'll move between venues across 3 hours, sampling different styles of Basque bar culture. Expect narrow cobbled streets, some noise, and counter-service without table seating.
