5.00Iker is a fantastic guide. He shares history and personal experiences. The locals all know him and we had a wonderful experience everywhere we stopped. We learned the culture in ordering Pintxos which helped us during the rest of our visit in San Sebastian. Highly Recommend Iker!!!

5.00This was recommended by our travel agent and it did not disappointj. Our guide, Matteo, was absolutely fantastic, guiding us through the specialties at each location and culture in San Sebastien. Amazingly friendly, funny and luckily also an expert on local wines! Definitely an experience worth doing.
A wonderful experience!

5.00Naomi was fantastic! She accommodated a few dietary restrictions and took us to diverse and interesting places. Some places were more traditional, some more modern, all delicious!
Fun and tasty night of pintxos!

5.00We had such a lovely evening with Sandra touring the Pintxos bars in San Sebastián! Sandra was warm and charming, taking care to ensure she understood our tastes. We visited a great mix of traditional bars with top quality food as well as some newer spots that offered elevated classics. Sandra navigated the crowds to quickly get us to the counter and she knew exactly what pintxos and drinks to order at each stop. We had a blast and were so grateful we had Sandra leading the way instead of trying to guess where to go and which dishes to order. Well worth the tour and Sandra was a fun and helpful guide!
Daniel gave us the most...

5.00Daniel gave us the most wonderful introduction to San Sebastián. He was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the history but also the culture of this magical town. The pintxo restaurant operates unlike any other dining establishment, and it was valuable to learn how to operate as a customer. Would spend another afternoon roaming the streets and soaking up San Sebastián with Daniel in a heartbeat. Topa!
Great time.

5.00Food was amazing and Gonzo knows great places for pintxo’s. We all left well fed and more knowledgeable on how to choose our next stops. He was very friendly and the drinks flowed.
Must-do tour on your first day

5.00Iker exceeded our expectations by a long shot. His level of knowledge of Basque history and of pretty much all the food offered in the area made for an exceptional tour not only of Pintxos, but also of the the area and the sites we should consider visiting (not to mention local customs to be aware of). I highly recommend the private tour, it becomes a fun experience that is personalized to you, which simply is levels above any group-based tours you might find. Do this on your first full day in the area so you will have additional ideas of where you might want to eat and visit for the remainder of your stay.
Amazing experience

5.00Our guide was incredible. My husband and I agree that it would have been very hard to do Pintox for the first time without a guide. She tailored the stops to what we had heard about and our preferences. She also told us about the city, Spain, and what it’s like to live in San Sebastián. I would recommend a private tour if you want the stops tailored to your food preferences.
Awesome 5 days in the Basque-country!
