Why take this tour?

While San Sebastian’s Old Town is undeniably captivating, it can also get pretty crowded—which is why locals usually head into Centro instead for their pintxos crawls. On this pintxos tour, you’ll join your friendly foodie guide and become an honorary San Sebastian resident for the evening as you eat and drink your way across the neighborhood, experiencing a more authentic side of the Basque Country along the way. From classic pintxos to pleasant surprises most visitors will have never heard of, there’s no better part of San Sebastian to get fully immersed in what’s long been considered one of the best foodie cities in the world.
