Had a blast! Worth every penny - Really lovely and super fun tour around the old town, a great intro to the San Sebastian food scene. Jon was very helpful and friendly, went out of his way to speak with everyone and make sure we were all having a good time, and we sampled an interesting variety of pintxos, not just standard things - not easy when trying to please everyone! He also sent a full list of bar and restaurant recommendations with what to order at each one which was SO helpful for the rest of our trip.

Highly Recommend to Start Your Trip - A perfect way to begin our trip to the Basque region! Gabby was our guide, and her enthusiasm was contagious! She taught all about the culture and traditions of the area. The food was amazing, and there was a LOT of it! Having this baseline knowledge was extremely helpful over our next week of traveling because we understood how to order pintxos throughout the trip.

Small group food and wine tour - We wanted a cultural experience and this tour was wonderful . We went to the markets for some tastings and 3 or 4 bars to taste traditional Pintos with a glass or 2 of wine . We found the meeting area easily and our grp was small only 5 including our tour guide Gabby . Gabby was informative , friendly , humorous and energetic about her job , was well worth our time of 2 hrs , we were full as we went at lunchtime which was perfect for us .
