“Exceptional tour. Marina was outstanding and her knowledge on what was presented, impeccable. It was refreshing going to the different bars to try their "Pintxo" specialty, where locals go and not your tourist trap type of place. Choice of food and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend! Thank you Marina! :)”
