Pintxos (Basque tapas) line every bar in San Sebastián’s famed Old Town, but knowing where to find the best ones is an art. While it’s hard to have a bad meal in this town, knowing exactly where to go for the best, freshest, and most exciting pintxos takes local, insider knowledge.
What sets our tour apart as the best in town?
Our guides are passionate locals who live and breathe the food culture of San Sebastián since they were born and raised in the area. San Sebastian is our home, and where we started making the original pintxo tours in 2010. These years of experience have gift us a great relationship with the bars and a strong knowledge about the culinary scene of our city, that gives us the freedom and knowledge to be both, creative and flexible, crafting each tour to reflect the true essence of San Sebastián. This means that every tour is unique, tailored to the tastes and preferences of both our expert foodie guides and our guests.
Splurge yourself with the best freshly cooked Pintxos in San Sebastian and taste the best Spanish wines through your guide’s eyes, with each stop chosen to give you the most authentic and delightful experience possible.
Our group tours are designed with a foodie traveler’s spirit in mind, offering a more personalized and intimate experience than the typical, one-size-fits-all approach.
Includes:
- 5 freshly cooked top quality Pintxos + extra food tastings & 5 drinks at up to 5 different bars.
- Local, passionate guides with deep knowledge of San Sebastián’s culinary scene.
- A personalized email at the end of the tour with recommendations for bars and restaurants to make the most of your stay.
