This experience goes beyond a typical coastal tour by combining landscapes, wine culture, and local cuisine in a small, relaxed group. Instead of simply visiting towns, we explore the Basque Coast through the traditions that shape everyday life here. You’ll walk along the spectacular Flysch cliffs of Zumaia, one of Europe’s most unique geological landscapes, then head into the coastal vineyards above Getaria to learn how Txakoli wine is grown in this maritime climate. A short walk among the vines offers sweeping views of the Atlantic and insight into local wine traditions. The day continues with a guided visit of the fishing village of Getaria before finishing with one of the Basque coast’s most iconic meals: fresh fish grilled over charcoal, paired with a tasting of different styles of local Txakoli wine. With a maximum of 7 guests, the experience remains personal, relaxed, and deeply connected to the region.

What are people saying about San Sebastian

NormanF_N, Jun 2026

Alby was an excellent...

Alby was an excellent guide. The moderate hike was not at all as described. It was difficult. Given the heat, the steep grades and uneven ground, it was hard for us. Lunch was excellent and the time at the Guggenheim and in Bilbao was appropriate. Would do again. Time well spent.

San Sebastian Premium Pintxo Food, Wine & Market Foodie Tour

Kristin_H, Jun 2026

Excellent Pixtxo Tour in San Sebastian

We had a great evening and delicious pintxos on our tour. Sebastian was a fun and engaging guide. He worked hard to provide gluten free options to a member of our party when he could. We tried and loved things we would never have ordered on our own. This was a really good way to experience one of the unique foods and drinks of San Sebastián!

Do it!

Excellent introduction to pintoxs and the local area. Our guide was really good fun. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to have more insight and confidence in the pintoxs experience. Basque cheesecake alone was worth it.! All drinks and food experiences were excellent and gave us a chance to try things we might not have ordered ourselves!!

Fantastic!

Not only was Francisco an amazing tour guide, but he also gave great recommendations for pinxos and drinks in the area. We’ve been steadily working our way through his list since we finished our tour this morning. Definitely worth doing if you have an interest in the history and culture of the city and Basque region!

Small-Group Electric Bike Tour in San Sebastián

Weslee_S, Jun 2026

Great overview of the city

As a family of four with 15 and 17 yr old boys, we loved this tour. Our guide was so pleasant. It was a group of eight which was perfect. We could hear when he spoke and even though we got split at a few lights, it was pretty easy to stay together. It was a great way to see the parts of the city you may not normally venture out to and the bikes were light and easy to operate. At the end of the tour, our guide gave us lots of advice on where to dine in San Sebastián as well as places to visit as we were renting a car to travel the coast a bit before moving on to Santiago de Compostela and then Madrid. We would book it again in a heartbeat!

Great Tour

We had a great private Pintxos tour with Sandra. She tailored the tour to our preferences, and she made sure we ate at the must hit spots. She was efficient with our time as she got us into the more popular places earlier to beat the crowds. We had a great variety of foods and tried a few things we would not have chosen on our own. Highly recommend

Discover San Sebastián’s Best Pintxos on a Unique Culinary Tour

Lorraine_R, May 2026

One of the Best Food Tours!

We enjoy taking food tours wherever we go and find it a great way to peek into the culture of a given place through their food. Eskerne's tour was one of the best food related tours we have ever taken. One part walking tour through the old town, with insights into life in San Sebastián, and an amazing introduction to Pintxos at some great places. We highly recommend her tour and suggest you take it early in your trip so that you can go back and taste more during the rest of your time in San Sebastián. Eskerne is such fun and you can tell she fully enjoys introducing visitors to her town.

San Sebastian Food Tour: Pintxos, Drinks, and Tapas with a Local

Eliza_B, May 2026

Ask for Gonzalo!!!

Gonzalo was hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had. The group was small, which allowed us to move around and occupy space comfortably. He had a sense of humor and kept us engaged and laughing. He adapted the food choices even when I wasn’t expecting him to, going the extra mile to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their time. He also provided additional recommendations after the tour for us to explore the city more on our own. He truly cares about the guests he is working with and wants to create an experience everyone will remember. If he wasn’t taking a day off tomorrow we would book another to explore more! The group had so much fun, we continued hanging out afterwards!

La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from San Sebastian

SharonL_M, Sep 2025

Our Rioja wine tasting...

Our Rioja wine tasting tour with Alby and Diego was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. From the start, both guides made us feel completely at ease—like we were spending the day with friends or family rather than on a tour. That warmth and hospitality set the tone for an experience that was not only educational but also deeply personal and fun. Alby’s knowledge of Rioja is extraordinary. He shared the history of the region, explained the nuances of the grape varieties and terroir, and connected it all to the culture and people of Rioja in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. His passion is infectious, and it made every stop feel meaningful. Diego, though new and in training, was equally impressive. His energy, fresh perspective, and thoughtful contributions made the experience richer. Watching the dynamic between the two of them was a joy—they clearly enjoy what they do, and it showed in every detail. The wineries chosen were excellent and gave us a chance to see the diversity of Rioja—from traditional family-run producers to more modern approaches. Tasting outstanding wines against the backdrop of rolling vineyards was magical, but what made it truly special was the way Alby and Diego tied each glass to the broader story of the region. It never felt like “just another tasting”; instead, it felt like we were connecting with the essence of Rioja. What stood out most, however, was how comfortable and cared for we felt. The personal attention, thoughtful pacing, and genuine interest in making the day enjoyable made this tour unforgettable. By the end, we felt like we had not only discovered Rioja’s wines but also gained two new friends. If you are considering a wine tour from San Sebastián, this is the one. Exceptional knowledge, outstanding wines, and above all, a truly warm and welcoming experience. Highly recommended!
