A Pinch of Pintxos - A brilliant tour with Arantxa!
Went in expecting a tour of food around the San Sebastian Old Town but ended up learning the history and meeting the people that make this area so great. The food we had was incredible and paired with the drinks our host offered they couldn't have tasted better.
Would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Donostia, especially if you can do it as early as possible to understand the culture behind Pintxos before you dive in for yourselves!

Best food tour ever! - Best food tour ever!! Jon was such a brilliant guide, amazing energy, stories and fantastic food and wine choices. We left really full and with a great understanding of the history behind the produce and wines!! Time flew by and we also came away with lots of other great advice and recommendations. There was a wonderful wine tour the next day which we would have loved to go on if we had more time. Thank you for a great evening and it was the best way to start a trip to San Sebastian!

Great tour, great guide - Excellent tour with a super friendly guide, Jon, who definitely added to the experience. A bit pricier than most food tours, but worth it.

Not worth the money - The food tour was enjoyable but in my opinion the price wasn’t justified. I know we were paying for the guide’s knowledge but the food was so cheap that I’m not sure why it cost £120 each. We’d already been to two of the places the evening before. The tour also only lasted 2.5 hours rather than 3

Listed amongst wine tours in Florida USA but tour is in Spain! - This tour showed up when I searched for wine tours in St. Augustine Florida at a winery by the same name. I booked the tour-no where in the booking did it list that this was in Spain, not in the United States. This mistake was not realized until the tour had passed so it was too late to cancel. I submitted for a refund-I would be more than fine with a partial refund as I understand food was cooked for myself and my guest and that is lost money. However I was told that due to the fact the tour company is a “small company” they would not be able to provide a refund of any kind. I spent $300 on this tour. It was listed amongst other tours in Florida-a completely different country at that- and it wasn’t clearly marked ANYWHERE on the page where the tour was. I attempted to contact TripAdvisor and was directed to the tour company. Neither have been helpful at all. I honestly will not use TripAdvisor again and I certainly will not book a tour with this company if I ever end up visiting Spain.
