Best starting point to enjoy San Sebastian - The perfect start for a stay in San Sebastian. Excellent pinxtos and recommendations to try on your own afterwards. Telmo was an excellent guide with in depth knowledge of Basque wine and food traditions. And he was proven right, the Torrija dessert is better than the famous cheese cake.

This food tour was the highlight of our (very great) trip! - This food tour was the highlight of our (very great) trip! The food and drinks were delicious and spanned a wide range of flavors. I tried things I would've never thought to order myself and am so glad that I did! Our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgable and made the whole experience a blast. Highly recommend this to people who want to learn more about the area, food and are wanting to find hidden gems in the city for food + drink.

Fun time in San Sebastian, excellent drink, food and entertainment! - We had such a good time with Jon. His pintxos/restaurant choices were excellent, his knowledge of the city led to great anecdotes, and we had a blast! We would happily join him on tour again. We saw things we would not have seen, and sampled food and drink we never would have tried. Thank you, Jon!
