Full description

Join a curated San Sebastian pintxos tour to discover the city’s best pintxos bars in the old town while you learn the local ways of dining out and how to enjoy the Basque way of eating (and drinking). 

Along the way, learn the fascinating history of the region’s complex and unique cuisine and culture, as you weave in and out of its mystery-filled streets.

Begin the evening in true local style with some crisp local cider and delicious seafood pintxos. Move on to acorn-fed Iberian ham, as well as the local variety. Taste the best anchovies in the country, the most delicious local beef, seared local cod, suckling pig, and more.

Highly recommend joining this Pintxos & Wine tour when travelling to San Sebastián for the first time! Our local guide, Natalie, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The tour was very organized and well-paced. It was absolutely hassle-free (we literally skip-the-line at every stop!), and the local food and drinks were phenomenal!

Really great way to experience the Pintxos bars without having to think about where to go and what to order. The tour was very informative and Hector was a great host who knows so much history of San Sebastian and can advise you on places to go for the rest of your stay. The price isn't cheap but you get a fair amount of food and drink and you will no doubt meet some lovely people along the way!

What an experience! Laura was a fantastic guide. She did not just take us to fantastic pintxo places but also showed us how to order for ourselves. We tried today and was offered food that was not on the menu. Such a wonderful and well rounded experience!
