What To Expect
Donostia - San Sebastian
Join us for this 3-hour long food tour across one of the most beautiful Basque towns: San Sebastian. You will have a delicious tapas tour in at least 4 stops and at the end you will have eaten the equivalent of a full meal. All food and drinks are included as described! Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.
You will start your culinary adventure in front of the city hall, in the heart of San Sebastian. You will meet your local expert right in front of this majestic building, that used to be a Casino when it was built at first, in 1882. Then you will head to the first stop to try the first ever-invented Pintxo! This pintxo consists of three simple yet flavorful components: a green guindilla pepper, a briny anchovy, and a tart green olive. Skewered together, these ingredients create a harmonious blend of spicy, salty, and tangy flavors.

Great experience and lots of fun

5.00Our tour guide Gonzo was excellent and took us to pintxo bars that weren’t on other lists or recommendations in guidebooks. We tasted foods and different drinks we would never have known to try and learnt about basque culture and cuisine. It’s worth doing the tour early on in your trip as it helps make the most of your culinary experience and Gonzo left us with a long list of recommendations.
