Expensive for what it was

Javier our guide was great, very knowledgeable, engaged and friendly with excellent English. The tour is a bit too long at three hours and the Pintxos and drinks were tasty but small portions and measures. It’s caught between a basic guided tour of the city and a food tasting event and doesn’t quite work on either account. At £70 each it’s a lot of money for what you get. Given that the Pintxos are about €1-2 each as is a small beer/local wine and you only get three it’s not value for money.

The tour was informative, Guide Sonia tried very hard and was well informed. We really liked the city tour. However, the relationship to the pinchos was not entirely optimal. You didn't get the impression that no high quality pincho bars were chosen. Here it would be better to pay more attention to quality, or to visit more well-known bars, .... LG
