Amazing Basque food and culture experience! - We learned a new Basque word today to express delight: Earra! Our "Foodie, Market, Wine and Pintxo Experience Tour" was amazing. Jon, owner of Earra Tours, guided us through the old Town of San Sebastián and educated us on the history and culture of the area as well as the evolution of the pintxo. Leigh and I have been waiting for this experience for many years! Done!

Superb tour incorporating historical and culinary highlights of San Sebastián - Jon was an incredible tour guide- he created a wonderful and very personalized experience for us, which incorporated a walking/car tour with beautiful views, detailed historical/social/political discussions of the region, and, of course, absolutely delicious food. A+.

Amazing San Sebastián highlights & Pintxos tour! ❤️ - What a perfect way to start off our visit to San Sebastien! Jon was incredible at showcasing all the most beautiful, picturesque, & historic spots around town for our family! His charisma and infectious enthusiasm for everything Basque was fantastic and we loved learning so much from his locals perspective! Our 20-something kids loved all the instagrammable moments & it was fun exploring with him as he seemed to know everyone in town! The Pintxos tour was a real highlight because he took us to 4 delicious stops in the old town which were all atmospheric, authentic, and AMAZING!
Overall, we couldn’t have had a better start to our trip! And Jon went above & beyond to give us tips, pointers, & suggestions for the rest our stay. We feel like we had a tour with an old friend!
Don’t look any further, this experience can’t be beat! Thanks Jon! EARRA! ❤️

Great tour - We really enjoyed our food tour around San Sebastián and would highly recommend going early in your trip (ideally first day/evening) so you can revisit your favourite places again as we did! Arantxa was a great guide, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I’m taking a star off simply because we just felt it was a little overpriced compared to other food tours we’ve done. There was plenty of food and alcohol throughout just a little too expensive considering price of Pintxos and alcohol. Still recommend when you’re visiting a place little San Sebastián.
