Did a private lunch tour in San Sebastián with Basque Bites. My wife, me and our two college age daughters. It was simply amazing. Gregory was knowledgeable not just about the lunch and drink spots, but about Basque culture and history as well. We did the tour our first day in town, which is what I like to do in a new town to get oriented. In addition to the afternoon lunch tour, Gregory gave us his special list of places to see, other eating and drinking spots, and he stayed in touch throughout our stay for questions and recommendations. Highly recommend a tour with these guys.

Incredibly entertaining and educational day spent with Gregory, who has more knowledge of food, wine, history, and life in Basque country than anyone else you are likely to meet. My wife and I have done walking/food/wine tours all over the world, and Gregory has been one of the best ever. well worth the price of admission!

I could tell Gregory was going to be great from the start. After our initial email exchange, I knew he was both knowledgeable and charming! My husband and I spent a wonderful day with him touring the city, walking through the market and tasting pintxos. He kept us entertained while giving us a great history lesson, including that of the Basque people. We were so impressed with his ability to speak their language. He exceeded our expectations!

We did the Pintxo Evening tour with Gregory in San Sebastián in March and could not say enough about his tour. Gregory's enthusiasm and knowledge of the food scene in San Sebastián was excellent. As a chef he guided us through some of the best pintxo's in this very popular foodie town. All the information he shared about the cuisine made us really appreciate every morsel we were tasting. His personality is geared for hosting tours like this. A pintxo tour in San Sebastián is a MUST and doing it with Gregory will make it extraordinary!

Thoroughly enjoyed this food tour with Gregory, we only had a day in San Sebastian and we felt like we did get to know a little of the city and its wonderful food scene with him as our guide. We started with a market visit where he explained many of the local delicacies to us and we were able to sample a little of the produce from some of the stall holders. Gregory knows the regional produce very well and explained a lot of the history of the pintxos as well as the Basque style of cooking, in addition he was able to give us a potted history of San Sebastian which helped explain the food and also much of the architecture of the city. There were a few restrictions still in place during our visit and it was necessary to be seated at a table to be able to eat because of this I think it would have been impossible to have this experience on our own. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a foodie experience, whether you only have a day like us or are lucky enough to have longer, I would suggest doing the tour early in your stay and using your new found knowledge to make the most of your stay. we were encouraged to try several different styles of pintxos and Gregory knowledgeably matched them with local wines for us to try. Above all it was a lot of fun. hope to see you again Gregory before our time in france is over.

We loved San Sebastián and it was all due to Gregory and his tour of food. Absolutely loved it. I would love to have Gregory in every city I go to.

Gregory was an awesome guide. Our ~3.5 hours with him made the San Sebastian pxintos scene far less intimidating than it was when we first got to the city. But the thing that made the experience really unique was Gregory's commentary on the history, politics, and culinary practices of San Sebastian and the Basque Country more generally (he doubles as an instructor at a local cultural center so he knows his stuff). So not only do you get a great introduction to the Old City's pxintos scene, you feel like you get a sophisticated take on the city more generally. Definitely recommend for early in your San Sebastian stay!

Gregory runs the best food tour we have ever been on. He will take you from timid pintxo tourists and make you comfortable with the customs as well as keep you from eating at Burger King. I cannot recommend this tour enough where you will learn a lot about the interesting history of the city and the food all while trying delicious local spots.
