5.00A great way to get into Pintxos and to taste the best selection in each bar! Esther was super lovely and we got to eat an amazing variety of unique Pintxos without having to make reservations or stand in queues. She was very knowledgable about the local bars, their history and owners, but also San Sebastian in general and Basque culture. It just felt like spending an evening with a local friend! Highly recommend.
What a great night

5.00Our pintxos tour was amazing. Our guide, Clara, was wonderful - accomodating, knowledgeable, great fun, and expertly guided us to a diverse range of venues. We experienced a fantastic selection of pintxos and wine, all of which were great. Clara also enriched the experience by sharing fascinating details about the history of San Sebastián, as well as the Basque people, their unique language, and culture. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Just wow! Essential activity to understand and taste San Sebastian. Our guide Clara was sensational. She shared Basque culture and history with such passion and energy. And the pintxos...!!! At every stop we could taste the speciality of the house. Wisely chosen by our guide, each pintxo was so distinctive and surprising. Paired with a local wine, it was simply the best dining experience we had. What a joy to have had this experience please. Thank you Clara!

5.00We really loved this experience from my 10 yo to our parents in their 70s. It was a lot of food and we had a good variety of different tapas. The guide also gave us a lot of history and context, while also offering her personal recommendations on what was good. I thought I submitted a review on my phone with photos. Not sure why it's still showing as not reviewed on my web profile.

5.00We actually had pintxos the previous evening but the places that Montse took us were so much tastier. She gave us a unique perspective on the Basque culture and customs and how they differ from the rest of Spain. She even gave us recommendations for the next days so we got 2 tours in 1!

5.00We went on this Pintxos after reading the recommendations online and indeed the tour did not disappoint! We had a wonderful Tour Guide called Sara, she hand picked all the pintxos bars we went to where we were treated to amazing array of Basque food. Each mouthful was a delight.. it was also a brilliant way to see the old town of San Sebastian and get a feel for the area. Subsequently, we were able to visit some of the restaurants we had been to on this tour. I would definitely recommend this to anybody visiting San Sebastian.

5.00Be sure to bring your appetite! Our guide, Carla, was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and took us to places we would not have found on our own. We sampled a great variety of local flavors and ended the tour with a fabulous Basque cheesecake. Well worth it!
