A very tasty, historically rich and fun day with a great guide! - Our guide, Kaya, was super-knowledgeable and very kind. We went to her “favorite” places and she thoroughly explained the history of the bars and the pinxtos we sampled. Her info about the old town’s history was fascinating too. We highly recommend her as a guide and really enjoyed ourselves!!

Great Guide and delicious pintxos - Hector is an outstanding guide. He knows all his restaurants and treats them well. All the pintxos were delicious. Tried several wines, cider and sherry. He incorporates a good overview of the history of San Sebastián and the basque people.. We found that informative and enjoyable

Very good! - This was an excellent food and history tour with Hugo. He was very knowledgeable and shared many facts of San Senastian and Basque. We had four food stops for pinchox, cider and wine. The food was amazing and the best ever! Very good and highly recommended with Hugo.

Fab way to spend a Sunday! - We took this tour with Gorka, who was the most fantastic guide! We learned so much about the Basque region and the culture - we got a real local’s insight from Gorka. The food and drink we got were all delicious and high quality - with so many pinchos bars to choose from, this is an excellent way to experience some really good ones that are recommended by locals. We also made some nice friends on this tour - Gorka made it a really fun social experience!

More of a bar crawl than a culinary experience - The entire tour is walking and standing. Not a lot of food or wine. Just tastes of cider and two wines. No beer. Lots of info and history about the. Basque Country. Our guide was very informative. More of a bar crawl than a culinary experience.

Worth it! - Small group, enthusiastic-young guide (George) who took us to 5-6 spots in the old town. Lite rain, but not a lot of walking. Toured really built, with a mix of food and drinks, ending with cheesecake!

Great experience overall... - Great experience overall and have set a good start for our trip in San Sebastián. I chose this tour due to highly rated reviews and I recommend doing something similar to get your bearing in exploring the old town, however, it didn't fully meet expectations based on description. It didn't flow smoothly either. In the end, though still a great experience, felt the cost is disproportionate overall, hence, the rating.
