Pintxo Tour San Sebastian
Discover San Sebastian on a Pintxo Food Tour
Discover San Sebastian through its history, culture and world-famous gastronomy on a private pintxo tour with a local guide.
We’ll start by exploring some of the city’s most iconic sights while discovering how San Sebastian evolved from a fortified city into one of Europe’s most celebrated gastronomic destinations.
Then comes the best part: pintxos.
We’ll head into San Sebastian’s famous Old Town to visit traditional pintxo bars, taste authentic Basque food and enjoy local drinks. Pintxos are much more than small bites of food — they are an essential part of Basque culture and social life.
As a local, I’ll take you beyond the obvious tourist stops and show you some of the bars and pintxos that make San Sebastian such a special place to eat.
