Parte Vieja
Txikiteo: The first rule of the txikiteo club is: there are no rules. An approximate definition of ‘txikiteo’ could be: going from bar to bar, eating a pintxo and drinking a glass of something (the usual is a low-alcohol beverage, not cocktails!) in each. The txikiteo is done standing up, in front of the bar full of pintxos and surrounded by people you don't know (but that you could end up meeting.)
And this is precisely what you’ll do with Ikusnahi: pure txikiteo, flying from bar to bar, tasting the most renowned specialty of each in a genuinely Basque environment and surrounded by locals that, y’know, you don't know...but that you could end up meeting.
Calle 31 de Agosto
San Sebastián Cheesecake: If God were a cake, He would be a San Sebastián Cheesecake. Did you know that San Sebastián Cheesecake is global cheesecake royalty, right up there with New York Cheesecake? Did you know that, as a result of this success, the Thermomix kitchen robot includes the recipe for 'San Sebastián Cheesecake' in its programs? Okay. Today you’ll taste the authentic, the mother of everything, the origin, the Big Bang.

Myself and my husband really enjoyed our evening with Claudia our guide. The fact that it was a private tour meant that Claudia was able to tailor it exactly to our requirements. She brought us to some venues that we would never have found ourselves and was very knowledgeable when explaining the different Pintxos and drink options. Claudia is from San Sebastián and is very proud of the city and its fabulous food scene. After we finished the tour Claudia sent us some great recommendations for the rest of our time here. A 10/10 experience, don’t miss it

ANIA was amazing! We had the pleasure of taking a walking food tour in the old town section of San Sebastián. The entire experience exceeded our expectations! Ania tailored the tour to our taste and every stop along the way hit the mark. Not only did she have a deep knowledge of local cuisine but she was also very well versed in the history of San Sebastian, Basque culture, and many of the surrounding towns. Was a truly memorable evening!

This exceeded my expectations. Our guide was local and knowledgeable, and took us to places and gave us food bites that we would never have had on our own. She procured the Pintxos and drinks for us and while we ate she gave us a history lesson that was inspired by place, Basque people. food and drinks. My family of 3 had a once in a lifetime Xmas eve daytime tour that made our San Sebastián holiday memorable and delicious!
The owner was also super responsive and friendly — he made sure we were taken care of despite the busy Christmas days.

A absolutely fantastic tour, Markel was very knowledgeable and gave us a good run through of where to go and what was some of the specialties. He was well prepared and we all had a fun night that set us up well for the next three nights we were there. Highly recommend this guide and this tour company. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazing experience! Highly recommended. A great way to learn about the city, history and food, while eating delicious pintxos combined with refreshing beverages. (Do try the txakoli wine and the Gilda pintxos) Great service, friendly, fun, informative and helpful guide. A must if you visit San Sebastian! (Still daydreaming of those pintxos - how are they all THAT delicious?) An extra thank you to Markel for being such an awesome and helpful guide.

We were very lucky to have Ania as a guide. She made the whole experience something we will never forget. She some how managed to not only take us for some unbelievable pinxos but also managed to find vegetarian options for one of our group.
We had an amazing evening with great food, wine and great company educating us on the pinxos culture.
Thank you Ania for a fantastic evening. If you want to have the full pinxos experience, ask for Ania as your guide.

Markel led an incredible pintxos tour, which was the highlight of my trip to San Sebastián. Thanks to his expert guidance, in three short hours I learned not just about food, but also about local history, language, tradition. I highly recommend a tour with Markel!
