This tour got us up close to 6 bars and their specialties (and matching beverages!) and was a great way to introduce ourselves to the city. Eli was a great host, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we also learnt a lot about the place and Basque culture. Although pricey we thought it well worth doing and in the following days found...

The Rioja Wine Tasting was a memorable experience and an excellent way to learn more about Spanish wines. The presenter was fantastic and had a deep knowledge of Spanish wines from the history, the production process through to how to properly taste wines. I highly recommend this course, the value was second to none. More

Jon and his team provide an excellent "hands on" day. Meeting the chef and getting an introduction to local produce, especially seafood. Then time in the kitchen both watching & joining in. Finished off with eating the lunch you made. More
