5.00This was a great experience. Esky was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and guided us on an interesting walking tour of the old town in San Sebastián. The pintxo stops were all delicious - we never would have found all of this on our own. One of us was vegetarian and she made accommodations and suggestions for us and we both enjoyed the tour immensely. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Our guide Eskerne was so friendly and knowledgeable! She gave us a lot of fun history as we saw the sites and she even took pictures for us. When we got to the food portion we were able to try 5 different pintxos and 5 drinks as we hopped from one restaurant/bar to the next. It was a great experience. Highly recommended!
Our guide, Eske, was Exceptional!

5.00My wife and I were the only ones on the tour and our guide, Eske, was perfect! She initially thought we would have more fun if we booked with more people, but the 3 of us just made the tour Super! At the end of the tour my wife and I invited Eske to Dallas where she would be welcomed in our home and we would be her guide.
A Must-Do for any wine, food, and culture lover

5.00I actually did this tour a while ago - November 2021, and I still think about it. I just recommended this tour to someone today and realized i never posted a public recommendation- so here it goes. The entire experience and Eskerne were wonderful. Her stories and relationships with the different proprietors make for a special experience. She knew the exact spots to go - and the best pintxos to order. She really had the inside scoop. And she followed up with a detailed email to recap our tour as well as additional recommendations. I will definitely do this tour again when im back in San Sebastián!
Fun, interesting and delicious

5.00We had a wonderful tour with our guide Eskerene. First we did a historical walking tour of San Sebastian. Always a nice way to see a new city. We then continued with the pintxos tour. She took us to 5 bars. At each one we tried a pintxos and a drink. She gave us a choice of at least 4- 5 pintxos at each bar and made sure they were freshly made. Would highly recommend
Great City. Fantastic Guide.

PINXTOS HISTORY and LOTS of SAN SEBASTIÁN FUN

5.00WOW WOW WOW WOW is all I can say. Eskerne is absolutely amazing. She is so personable, some might say she is the unelected Mayor of San Sebastián and I would have to agree. She offers amazing knowledge of the history of San Sebastián along with insanely delectable PINXTOS. She catered to everyone’s likes and dislikes will pushing the boundaries of our palettes and asking us to open our minds and try new and exciting things. I cant recommend this tour enough and when I return I am going ask if Eskerne will just spend the day with us. She is the true GEM of San Sebastián. Amazing trip and amazing tour.

5.00This tour is one of the highlight of our Spain vacation! Mayor Eske is the BEST! :) Her passion for the history and gastronomy of San Sebastian is unmatched. And her personality is just unbeatable - she made us feel super comfortable in our walking tour and made sure she took pictures of my wife and I in beautiful vistas in the city. She is just a fun person to be with! Our pintxos tour was great! Just recalling all the food and drinks makes me hungry now as I write this review. Just say Yes to everything she offers - it will surely be delicious! Eske and her tour will be forever be part of our San Seb memories.
