This is a foodie immersion in real, ordinary San Sebastian to get a real sense of community, understand how locals live and eat as you learn about local history and culture.
With every person that joins the tour, we help a person in need by donating a meal to the city's soup kitchen, you eat one you feed one!
It's a 3h walking tour, where there's mostly eating and less than 10 mins-walk between each stop. We’ll go to 5 specially selected stops within two different neighbourhoods.
You'll indulge and learn all about the unique culinary tradition of going out for pintxos! Pintxos pronounced 'pin-choss', these are different from tapas and imbedded in Basque culture. We're going to show you how to navigate the local food scene and eat the best that this city has to offer.
This experience is the kind of tour for people who hate the word 'tour' and genuinely travel for food and really want to get immersed in the culture and have fun.

5.00The unique opportunity to discover the rich pinxtos culture of San Sebastian. Nice stories and top addresses where you would not immediately step in as a non-tourist. Worth his money.

5.00A very complete tour, delicious food combined with history and curiosities of the city. Maider was a fantastic guide, attentive and fun. I recommend doing this tour as soon as you arrive in the city, as it gives you a complete view of its culture and helps you choose among so many bars and pintxos! All of this supports such a beautiful project. Thank you very much, Topa!

5.00Really glad we did this tour at the beginning of our trip, we got lots of tips from our guide. I hate big groups so this tour worked perfectly. Now I know the difference between tapas and pintxos. I also really like the idea of donating a meal through the tour, totally recommend this tour.
