The txikiteo is done standing up, in front of the bar full of pintxos and surrounded by people you don’t know (but that you could end up meeting.)
And this is precisely what youâll do with Ikusnahi: pure txikiteo, flying from bar to bar, tasting the most renowned specialty of each in a genuinely Basque environment and surrounded by locals that, yâknow, you don’t know…but that you could end up meeting.

Awesome food and great local people to hang out with - My husband and I enjoyed the half day tour. Not only we had delicious food but also learned a lot of the Basque culture. Our tour guide Jan took us to the Pinxtos bars in the old town area as well as the more local area like Gros. He was able to choose the best dish in each bar and tell us the stories behind it. Jan also explains to us about the Basque history and culture which we are very interested into. It’s great to hear the “insider” stories. He even worked over time in order to show us more places and also sent us more restaurant and shopping info that we can explore on our own after the tour. Jan is really helpful and interesting to hang out with and we had a great time.

Fabulous evening - Myself and my husband really enjoyed our evening with Claudia our guide. The fact that it was a private tour meant that Claudia was able to tailor it exactly to our requirements. She brought us to some venues that we would never have found ourselves and was very knowledgeable when explaining the different Pintxos and drink options. Claudia is from San Sebastián and is very proud of the city and its fabulous food scene. After we finished the tour Claudia sent us some great recommendations for the rest of our time here. A 10/10 experience, don’t miss it

Food walking tour of San Sebastián - ANIA was amazing! We had the pleasure of taking a walking food tour in the old town section of San Sebastián. The entire experience exceeded our expectations! Ania tailored the tour to our taste and every stop along the way hit the mark. Not only did she have a deep knowledge of local cuisine but she was also very well versed in the history of San Sebastian, Basque culture, and many of the surrounding towns. Was a truly memorable evening!

Best way to see, eat, and learn!! - This exceeded my expectations. Our guide was local and knowledgeable, and took us to places and gave us food bites that we would never have had on our own. She procured the Pintxos and drinks for us and while we ate she gave us a history lesson that was inspired by place, Basque people. food and drinks. My family of 3 had a once in a lifetime Xmas eve daytime tour that made our San Sebastián holiday memorable and delicious!
The owner was also super responsive and friendly — he made sure we were taken care of despite the busy Christmas days.

A night of tastes and exploration - A absolutely fantastic tour, Markel was very knowledgeable and gave us a good run through of where to go and what was some of the specialties. He was well prepared and we all had a fun night that set us up well for the next three nights we were there. Highly recommend this guide and this tour company. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

A must if you visit San Sebastian! - Amazing experience! Highly recommended. A great way to learn about the city, history and food, while eating delicious pintxos combined with refreshing beverages. (Do try the txakoli wine and the Gilda pintxos) Great service, friendly, fun, informative and helpful guide. A must if you visit San Sebastian! (Still daydreaming of those pintxos - how are they all THAT delicious?) An extra thank you to Markel for being such an awesome and helpful guide.

Pinxos tour in San Sabastian - We were very lucky to have Ania as a guide. She made the whole experience something we will never forget. She some how managed to not only take us for some unbelievable pinxos but also managed to find vegetarian options for one of our group.
We had an amazing evening with great food, wine and great company educating us on the pinxos culture.
Thank you Ania for a fantastic evening. If you want to have the full pinxos experience, ask for Ania as your guide.
