On our food tour in San Sebastian, you will discover and experience the city like a true local.

During the tour, which lasts about 3 hours, you will have the opportunity to stop at different venues and taste the typical pixtos that the city has to offer. Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by a local food expert, a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.

The itinerary runs through the center of the city so while you taste the city's most traditional recipes, you can stroll through the historic areas and admire the beauty of the city itself.

Our tour is a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way for showing local culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend.

Our tours are in shared groups, but groups are up to 12 people max because we want to keep the experience as authentic and intimate as possible.

Gonzalo was a great guide—easygoing, super knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. He shared just enough history and local insight to keep things interesting without overdoing it. The food and drink stops were all amazing, and everything felt really well thought out. A fun night with good people, good stories, and incredible bites. Highly recommend!
Not to be missed.

Silvia took us on a tour through San Sebastian's old town food precinct, introducing us to the Pintxos food experience. There were several stops at different bars and restuarants, sampling their specialty dishes with different wines and beverages to match. She had excellent knowledge of the dish's history and the food preparation used to deliver it. A great food and wine experience.
