We are going to eat pintxos where the locals eat pintxos!
We will explore the neighborhood where the locals normally go out for pintxos and drinks. Normally every Pintxo Bar has its specialty, a “must”, and I personally selected the specialties of four Pintxo Bars. We will have four pintxos and four drinks each.
We will enjoy and appreciate the best of the Basque Country and its unique gastronomy in a few bites. Every bar we are going to has been awarded a prize for that particular pintxo that we will try, so quality is guaranteed!

5.00Fran was EXCELLENT! I do a food tour in every city I visit and this was hands down the best one I’ve ever done! Fran was informative and friendly giving a wonderful tour rich with culture! The food was out of this world a great mix to really understand the pintxo culture in San Sebastián. I’d recommend doing this tour early on your trip if not the first day you’re in town. It gives you a good layout of the city and Frans suggestions will help guide you to the best food in town through your whole stay! DEFINITELY DO THIS TOUR!!

5.00! We had an amazing time on our tour in San Sebastián, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Francisco. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, the Basque people, their traditions, and the rich history of the area. It was clear that he truly loves his hometown and was eager to share his insights with us. The pintxos and wine we tasted were absolutely delicious, and Francisco took us to some fantastic spots that we might not have discovered on our own. Every location was unique, and the food was top-notch! We also appreciated the list of recommended places and specialties he provided, which came in handy for the rest of our stay. This tour was a perfect way to explore San Sebastián, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Francisco made it a memorable experience, and we’re grateful for his expert guidance!
Perfecto

5.00This food tour was fantastic! I love a food tour because I feel like I will end up getting to try things. I wouldn’t normally think to order for myself. Francisco was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of San Sebastian and Basque Country. I felt like I learned a lot of new things. On top of that, he was very personable, enjoyable to be around, and as I said, just a overall wealth of knowledge. The food and the drinks were plenty full. My husband and I left with our stomachs full, our hearts full and happy! It was a wonderful experience. I absolutely recommend it 1000%
