A must when visiting San Sebastián! - This was an amazing tour! The tour company was very attentive and communicative. They sent a picture of the meeting spot and the guide to help. I ended up being the only person on my tour and was afraid they would cancel, but I had the best time with my guide! Arantxa was amazing! The food and drink were great. I would highly recommend this tour and company! A must when visions San Sebastián.

A gastronomic delight in San Sabastian - We had a great Pintxos tour with Jon of Earra Tours last night. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Basque food and wine, he is also a really fun guy who made sure our group had a great evening. The tour started in the main market with some delicious local hams and olives and then moved into the old town where we visited several of the best Pintxos bars and restaurants in this gastronomic city. It all finished over three hours later with an amazing local cheesecake accompanied by a fortified sherry called Nectar which was the perfect end to a perfect night. I would highly recommend Jon and Earra Tours and their Pintxo Tour.
