My husband and I did this Pintxo tour on our first night in San Sebastian and absolutely loved it! We went to 5 different places and had great pintxos and wine at each stop. It was a great introduction into pintxos that helped us then enjoy them for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience with an amazing guide who created a fun evening for the whole group and made it a priority to ensure that all individual food preferences were covered

This tour is amazing. It felt like we’re being shown around by a local celebrity, Eskerne, who knew everyone and had a great passion for the food and culture we’re being shown. Some of the very best food I have ever eaten coloured by really interesting detail of Doniesta as a place. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

We had a wonderful time and learned a lot about culture and the pintxos scene. It was very helpful to get insight on what to order and what to avoid. It also helped give us insight on the specialities of each bar as they are different. I’m glad we did the tour and felt that it was worth the time and money.

I was very apprehensive about this tour and chose it being expensive and had fingers crossed. It did not disappoint. It was superb. Delicious food and Eskerne was a delightful person with boundless enthusiasm. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous food and history tour with Eski! She is so full of life and knows all the best places to go - she was able to tailor the tour to our dietary requirements. No one can get a table quite like Eski. We have done a lot of food tours in our travels and this one is a highlight - we actually got to select what we wanted to eat from the options and everything was scrumptious!
Thanks Eski

Guide Eskerne ( ok to call her “Esky”… even for Aussies!) was an informative, friendly and engaging host who genuinely attempted to provide her own insights and nuances into her presentations/information “spiels”. Her ability to roll with the flow of conversations and myriad personalities - and even put up with moi - was exemplary and contributed to the fun of it all. We rarely do organised tours, but found the nature of the arrangements to be more than acceptable. Gave a very high rating (on our scale); the only factor which led to the score, was that several of the establishments did not provide acceptable seating for the group (9 + guide) or even “standing tables” to rest drinks/plates etc. For a world-ranking food city and experience, at a not insignificant tariff, this fell a little short of expectations, for a “perfect” tour and experience. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed and recommendable.

This was the second time we have taken the tour with Eske and Discover San Sebastian and it was just as brilliant as the first time. New bars and new pinchos!! And of course, the charm and knowledge of Eske!
If you do only one thing in San Sebastian, it's this tour!
