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.

5.00Gonzalo is fantastic! He took us on an incredible gastronomic tour of his favorite local foodie stops throughout San Sebastián. Gonzalo’s charisma and love of food made it a fun night for all. We loved tasting the local cuisine and trying new delicious, creative and unique dishes. He paired the drinks, culture, food and his knowledge of it all together extremely well. Gonzalo is an educated Basque Foodie like no other! We’d take his tour again tomorrow if we could!

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of doing a pintxos tour with Gonzalo and it was one of the highlights of our time in San Sebastián. Gonzalo was not only incredibly friendly and welcoming but also impressively knowledgeable about Basque cuisine, local wines and the rich history of the region. He took us to some awesome pintxos bars that we never would have found on our own each one offering something unique and absolutely delicious. From traditional bites to modern twists, every stop was fantastic. Gonzalo explained each dish, the perfect pairing drink pairing. You could tell he was so knowledgeable about the city and a real passion for food, which made the experience all the more special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area also come hungry and ready to be amazed by some tasty basque cuisine.
