Locally authentic experience of the basque food culture

5.00We really enjoyed this food tour. It was our first night in San Sebastian and we chose this tour to orient us to the food culture and the layout of the city. And the tour did exactly that! Javier our guide was very knowledgeable and shared with us the history and traditions of the food culture here. We loved that the tour took us to places where the locals socialise and eat and the food experiences were quality and locally authentic. It was a really wet night but Javier made the tour fun, with his good sense of humour and adaptability to the weather! Very enjoyable!

4.00Javier was informative and fun, and there was a great variety of food that was very good. Also enjoyed going to local places instead of the tourist destinations.
We thoroughly recommend Javier and his Secret Food Tour.

5.00We had a very enjoyable evening with Javier in San Sebastián on the Secret Food Tours. The chat was informative, engaging and Javier created a very relaxed atmosphere for all the group. We tried some new dishes and local wines that we would have missed if we had not been on the tour. We revisited a few places that Javier brought us to on the tour the next day. Would definitely recommend if visiting San Sebastián to try Secret Food tours.

5.00We had a great tour with Javier. We got a better understanding of the pinxtos culture and how to spot a good pinxtos bar. We had really good food as we made our way around town and learned a lot too. Javier sent us his recommendations which we will try during the rest of our trip!

5.00We had an excellent experience and Javier provided plenty of historical, cultural and of course food related information. The tour was very focused on places where locals go and the food choices were delicious. I would consider a rating of 4.5 if possible on value for money as the tour cost quite a bit more than a similar one we have just done in Bilbao. But if you’re in San Sebastián then highly recommended. P.s. The after tour information sent by Javier on the places we had been plus many suggestions are an added bonus.
Authentic & informative
