On of the best food tours we have done. Be prepared for AMAZING food and drinks! - We're done many food tours as its a great way to get well orientated in your new city. This Devour tour was no exception and it delivered on all counts. In fact, probably one of the best food tours we have done. Our host Gabriele was fantastic, super welcoming, very informative and great fun. The quality of all the food and drinks we tasted was exceptional and we will be returning to many of the restaurants during the rest of our stay. This is a a great way to start your stay and there are a lot of food tour 's out there but I would strongly recommend Devour and Gabriele!

A great intro to local pintxos and wine - Begonia's pintxo tour was fantastic! It was informative, fun, and took us to places we wouldn't have visited on our own. We loved the family-owned places and the group size was perfect for making new friends. We highly recommend joining this tour early in your trip to San Sebastian.

A local’s perspective on pintxos, a must-do in Donostia - I always love talking a food tour when visiting a new city, especially one that incorporates the small, local and family-run institutions into the day. Of course when you come to Donostia you must eat pintxos and this tour was absolutely perfect for introducing us to a variety of pintxos, from the classic to the modern, all paired with wines or cider. Our guide, Amaia is local and could give us insights on language, culture, history etc that really helped to put things into context. I think the daytime tour is a great option as it’s not as busy as I assume the nights would be, and it gives you a chance to return later to your favorites. Amaia did a great job accomodating dietary preferences as well. Highly recommended to take this tour early in your trip so you can get recommendations for later. Mahalo!

Devour by Gabriele Pintxos Tour Gold - Don’t try and navigate your way around the old town unless you do this tour fist. There are other companies that do this but you won’t go wrong with Devour. And if you are lucky you will get a tremendous host like Gabriele who knows the best of what is on offer. I got may dates wrong and it was not a problem for them.A San Sebastián must do.

Fabulous pintxos and good company - We tasted what must be the best of Basque pintxos on this tour. The group was small and we were given insight into the history of San Sebastián. Carlos was a terrific guide, knows his food and obviously loves his work. The range of food was carefully curated as were the bars. If you want to taste the range of pintxos on offer in San Sebastián I highly recommend this tour.

Follow Begonia for ultimate Pintxos experience - Begonia was tremendous and very friendly and knowledgeable, notably also on wine . I am a WSET Diploma student and yet learnt a lot - even on the relatively new move to mature wines in Acacia wood barrels. Take this tour for the best guided pintxos excursion in San Sebastián - better than trying to do this on your own amidst the crowds and not necessarily finding the best pintxos bars and cider and wines to go with it.
