Pintxo tour and D.O wines in San Sebastian
Description
This pintxos tour in San Sebastian immerses you in the city’s food culture through a guided walk in the Old Town.

Each tasting is paired with five drinks: three wines from different Spanish Denominations of Origin, Basque cider, and a traditional local liqueur (non-alcoholic options available).

Gilles was a very knowledgeable and personable guide and gave us great information on the local area and on the food and wine provided. The food and wine were both fantastic and the tour overall was very good value.
We had the joy of being guided by Iker. He showed us a proud country with fantastic wines and food (more than enough) and regaled us with stories of local history as well as how this relates personally. Absolutely recommend this tour as well as Iker's personality - brilliant !
Rafael was the most amazing host we could have wished for. We had an enthusiastic and social group with whom we discovered the beautiful old centre of San Sebastián. We were taken along various food hotspots, one even lovelier than the other. We had amazing food, great wine, received interesting information about the old parts of town and shared lovely conversations. All in all a night to remember for a very long time!!
Lovely evening with well made pintxo & good wines. A fantastically nice guide Raphael. Proficient in history, city development and food and wine. The highest possible grade!
Gilles was friendly and is knowledgeable about the area we visited
We had a fab Pintoxs tour with Ibeth. We were very lucky in that it was just us. Felt more like an evening out with a friend. Very knowledgeable. We did the tour on our first night in Sans Sebastián which set us up for the rest of our trip with ideas for things to do and a great understanding of the Pintoxs culture and how to order. Thank you Ibeth
My husband, daughter and I did the Pintxo and Wine tour in San Sebastián with Ibeth. What an absolute delight she is as a guide . We had the BEST time !!! Our group was small and we were really able to enjoy each others company as Ibeth lead us from one delicious Pintxo to the next, all the while giving us the history of the places and of the dishes. Her beautiful energy and clear love for her work made the experience the absolute highlight of our trip to Northern Spain. Thank you so much Ibeth, we will send all our friends your way!
Great tour of some of the local eateries sampling great food and drink. It was well organised and great fun. Relatively small group meant it was manageable but lively and the guide Iker was really interesting and well informed.
It was a good trip with Phillipe who told about San Sebastian and some history, our trip around to no less than a 5 of the place's restaurants and a single store was a super experience. My best recommendations for Phillipe and the tour around.
A lovely walk thorough the city with a great mixture of food , drink and history . Well worth it with knowledgeable local guide.
