Great all around! - Our family of four really enjoyed our evening w Begonia! It was a treat to be hosted by someone native to San Sebastian, to get her insight and knowledge of the area and its history and culture. The food was delicious and varies depending on which bars are open that evening. Lots of good wine too! We ended with a stop for the famous La Vina basque cheesecake. We also got great recommendations for places to go back to on our own. Would highly recommend this tour as a great way to experience San Sebastián!

GREAT WAY TO START THE TRIP! - I always find that starting a trip to a new city with a Viator Food Tour is a wonderful way to get your bearings and learn about the town and the food and restaurants. This tour was very good and I especially enjoyed the fact that it was limited to 8 people.

Fun and informative - We loved this tour guided by Ania. She showcased a good variety of dishes and set the perfect pace for the group. We learnt so much of the local way of choosing, pouring drinks and eating pintxos. Highly recommend at the start of a tour of the Basque region.

Great tour - Such an informative tour with some history thrown in on our pintxos walking tour. Our guide made it interesting and had a sense of humour. It was only a group of 8 which is always good not being too big. The food and wine showcased the basque region.

Tasty and fun pintxos tour to get to know Donostia! - My husband and I had a great time on this pintxos tour as part of our honeymoon. We did the tour with a fun bunch from England, Australia, Illinois, Texas, and Arizona. Our guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable, made fun conversation, and helped us try an excellent selection of pintxos and wines. It was also easily adaptable to some dietary restrictions— my husband can’t have pork so no jamón ibérico, etc., but still plenty to choose from! Afterward, we felt prepared and confident enough to venture off on our own for pintxos and txakoli during the rest of our stay in Donostia.
