Wish I could do this tour every day - Fran was EXCELLENT! I do a food tour in every city I visit and this was hands down the best one I’ve ever done! Fran was informative and friendly giving a wonderful tour rich with culture! The food was out of this world a great mix to really understand the pintxo culture in San Sebastián. I’d recommend doing this tour early on your trip if not the first day you’re in town. It gives you a good layout of the city and Frans suggestions will help guide you to the best food in town through your whole stay! DEFINITELY DO THIS TOUR!!

Pinchos, Wine, culture and great company.. what’s not to like ! - Fran was fantastic. He started with the History of food, the influence of cordon blue, the storey of the food societies and history of the city in general. The pinchos were carefully chosen the beverages curated to match the taste. We had great fun too

Fantastic tour of San Sebastian with Francisco - ! We had an amazing time on our tour in San Sebastián, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Francisco. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, the Basque people, their traditions, and the rich history of the area. It was clear that he truly loves his hometown and was eager to share his insights with us. The pintxos and wine we tasted were absolutely delicious, and Francisco took us to some fantastic spots that we might not have discovered on our own. Every location was unique, and the food was top-notch! We also appreciated the list of recommended places and specialties he provided, which came in handy for the rest of our stay. This tour was a perfect way to explore San Sebastián, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Francisco made it a memorable experience, and we’re grateful for his expert guidance!

Perfecto - This food tour was fantastic! I love a food tour because I feel like I will end up getting to try things. I wouldn’t normally think to order for myself. Francisco was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of San Sebastian and Basque Country. I felt like I learned a lot of new things. On top of that, he was very personable, enjoyable to be around, and as I said, just a overall wealth of knowledge. The food and the drinks were plenty full. My husband and I left with our stomachs full, our hearts full and happy! It was a wonderful experience. I absolutely recommend it 1000%
