The only CHEF-LED pintxo tour in San Sebastián!

Everything's included on this 3 to 4 hour walking tour of San Sebastián's Old Town.

We'll get started in the market to see what's fresh & whet your appetite, then it's off for a great city walk to learn the history of the region & its culture. Along the way we will lunch on pintxos (Basque tapas) at 3 of my favourite bars! It's a super fun & active experience--with wine, beer & cider!

From the modern to the traditional, from squid to foie gras, from local cider to local wines. Maybe we'll chew on a pig's ear or two?

Dive into the culinary heart of the Basque Country on this delicious, walking, food & market tour!

What's Included

  • 3 drinks! We'll order the perfect pour from local wines, cider and beer (or soft drinks)
  • Recommendations for the rest of your journey in the Basque Country and beyond.
  • Dine on pintxos (Basque tapas) from our visit to 3 different pintxo bars.
  • Gratuities
