About this tour
Spend three hours eating your way through San Sebastián's best pintxos bars with a local guide who knows where to find the real stuff. You'll hit four neighbourhood spots, eat six proper bites, and drink four wines chosen to match each plate. The tour finishes with a local liqueur that tastes like the Basque Country in a glass. Built for people who care about what's in front of them.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and takes you straight into the rhythm of the city's food culture. At each stop, you'll order pintxos—some traditional, some with a contemporary twist—and learn what makes them tick and why this bar does them better than the one down the street. The wines aren't an afterthought; they're chosen to cut through the flavours or amplify them. You'll be on your feet, moving between bars, so expect to walk at a gentle pace with time to actually taste what you're eating. By the final liqueur, you'll understand why locals eat this way rather than sit down for long meals.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes. The route covers neighbourhoods where you'll be moving between bars on foot. Fully wheelchair accessible. Bring an appetite but eat light beforehand. Drinks beyond the included wines and liqueur cost extra.
