The best food tour in San Sebastian - We had such a great time with Mikel on our visit to the city. He took us to all the best spots, he knew everyone, was interested in our favourite dishes to make sure we got to try them and was incredibly knowledgeable about the region and its wealth of ingredients. The pacing was great - we left the night full and happy. Mikel organised a friendly, warm and generous tour of San Sebastian and I'd recommend friends book with Basque Roots for a rich, cultural experience. I feel like I've made a friend in the town and it made our time there better. eskerrik asko!

Best guide experience ever !!! - I had the chance to do a pintxos experience tour in San Sebastián with Mikel and honestly — it was an absolutely unique experience. I’ve done quite a few food tours around the world, but this one felt different. Real and authentic. Zero tourist traps. Mikel knew exactly where to go — proper hidden gems you would never find on your own. And not just the places - he knew exactly what to order in each spot. We had an absolutely delicious fish soup, an insane variety of pintxos (seriously, so many and all top level), incredible desserts, and plenty of that amazing Basque white wine — txakoli flowing all evening🤣😂 Everything felt perfect in super relaxed atmosphere. The best part? Everyone knows him. Not in a “tour guide” way, but in a real local way. You can feel this is his world. It doesn’t get more local or more authentic than this. If you’re looking for a true Basque experience with someone who lives and breathes this culture : this is it. Extremely highly recommended. 🦾🔥🍷🍢

Mikels food tour - Had a great time eating some of San Sebs amazing food. Mikel did a great job taking us to hidden gems that not only provided some of the best food but avoided the crowds. The steak was obviously a highlight but also the tomato salad was very refreshing. Would highly recommend Mikel, for an easy going and knowledgeable guide.

One of a kind experience - Absolutely fabulous experience with Mikel! He met us where we were staying and guided us to a local market and then a restaurant in Gros. We spent several hours learning about San Sebastián, the Basque culture, and pintxos. We helped create a fabulous meal and then enjoyed it immensely. A one of a kind experience. Highly recommend.
