Amazing food tour - We had a great time with our guide Sandra who took us to all of the hot tapas spots throughout San Sebastián. We had a great assortment of tapas/pinxtos and met some nice folks along the way on our tour. We’ve done many food tours around the world and this one ranks amongst the best we’ve done
Thank you

Fantastic, Fun Adventure! - We had a fantastic time with Sandra. She was very friendly, professional, and forthright. She provided us ample background and information on the Basque Country, etc., and ensured all individuals within the party felt welcomed. We ventured to a number of different eateries, trying a variety of food and beverages, finishing off with a nice, velvety cheesecake. The only challenge we encountered was ensuring we found the meeting point. Recommend including a note to look for the Dual Memorial for Victims of the Franco Regime behind the San Sebastian City Hall/Library, next to the yacht club.

Perfect Pintxos - Gorka (George) was so knowledgeable about the city! We had so much fun as we went from stop to stop and learned so much about the Basque Country. He also gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Very Fun Pintxos Bar Crawl in the Rain - Our British guide Lilly was fun and knowledgeable, navigating the crowded tight pixtxos stops for us with dexterity. Had a nice sampling of classics. Highly recommend.

Small in group size, big on memories - Like all food & wine tours around the world, this one just got better and better the longer it went on. Cynics would say 'well, that would be the wine, wouldn't it?' and for once I'm tending to side with the cynics. But there were other reasons, too. The cider! No, I meant the venues, the pintxos, the people in our small group, and most of all the bottomless knowledge of our guide, a lady whose name I have unforgivably forgotten.
