Jack was a wonderful guide. Provided terrific background on pintxos, took us to some amazing places and shared his enthusiasm for the city. We shared our experience with another great couple that allowed for some really nice conversations. Each place we went we were served quickly and it seemed very well organized. We appreciated the follow up email from Jack with the places that we went and additional suggestions on things to do and places to eat.

A great way to get to learn about San Sebastián and the food and drink culture of the area. Our guide Erich was passionate about food and drink and very well qualified to take to you to 5 different places each a little different. We typically sampled food (pintxos) and drink at each spot so you won’t need dinner afterwards! We also got given some great recommendations during and after the tour so I would recommend doing the tour early on in your trip. Our tour had six people on it in total and it was a nice size group.

This was a fabulous experience! Starting by Carlo our guide he was early to the meeting spot, he was very knowledgeable and explain to us not only about the food we had pinxtos in 5 different restaurants different wines and the best dessert I have had! I call it the best bread pudding ever! By the end of the tour Carlo was family! Book this tour, you will not regret it! A great evening experience! Best guide ask for Carlo.

Begonia was an incredible host and really knew the food, the wine, the history and the regions. She was a very good conversationalist and the 3 hours went by very quickly. The food provided in the tour was amazing and we will definitely be sharing our experience with others. Thank you!

Eric was an amazing knowledgeable guide with a lot of insider restaurant / chef experience. We learnt a lot about the history and culture but most importantly the best food!

Begonia was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about the food and history of San Sebastián! She also gave us excellent recommendations for Getaria where we are staying!

Rachel_H

Alin was the best tour guide ever! She was so easy, spoke great English and shared all her recommendations with us! She grew up here and knows so much history. We gained so much insight and knowledge of Basque culture, the language and more importantly, the food! My 15 year old is a bit picky and Alin asked her what she would like and made adjustments along the way! You cannot go wrong with Alin and the food was so delicious! Don’t hesitate to book this tour. Well worth it!

Excellent pintxos tour in San Sebastián. Alin is passionate about her city and her enthusiasm is infectious. A great variety of pintxos’ and wine on the tour and some great lively restaurants. Would definitely recommend this tour as an intro to San Sebastián. P.S. come hungry! There’s a lot of food!

This was one of the best tours we’ve done. Mai was an amazing tour guide! She was attentive and explained in detail all the food and wines. Aside from the food she also gave us insight on Basque culture and history. She has such a warm personality and we felt like we were going out with a friend. Highly recommend this tour!! Added bonus - they donate a meal to those in need for every tour booked👍
