Our tour guide not only introduced and explained to us local pintxos, beverages, and culinary customs but shared cultural and historical insights into the city and region. Ania was friendly and knowledgeable. She even gave us recommendations for our future meals. We would recommend this tour to others - and even do it again ourselves!

We tasted some really good local wines and pintxos. As we walked to various bars and cafes our guide showed us some of the buildings and neighborhoods as well as the history behind everything. Recommend you take the tour during your first few days in San Sebastián so you can learn the ropes for the rest of your trip

This is a must! With the private tour we had our excellent guide, Andonis full attention. He took us to a few Pinxto bars in old town but even better were the local places with top notch food and drink. We loved it.

Ernes was amazing! It was so nice to do this on our first night in town so we could learn the ropes. We loved that it was a private tour as well, we had a great time. Ernes is very accommodating and was very conscious about our allergies. Highly recommend this tour!
