All San Sebastian Tours & Excursions in 2026

This is a great intro to San Sebastián and its food scene. Our guide, Silvia was fabulous. This was our 3rd tour in two weeks and it was the best. The food was thoughtful and the tour was well paced. Each stop had the right amount of food so you were not too full ( and had room for the original cheese cake!) Each stop was a hidden gem. Silvia was amazing and guided us through the food scene here and what to do and not do on your own. We also had a fun group - it’s one of the things we love we most about food tours is connecting with other foodies.

I really enjoyed my pintxos tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. We explored the town on foot and visited some wonderful, unique spots that tourists wouldn’t normally discover on their own. The only downside was the language situation. We had a large group of French-speaking guests who didn’t speak English. Although the tour was booked in English, our guide kindly accommodated them by conducting about half of it in French, which left me feeling a little isolated at times. To his credit, he was very apologetic and made an effort to speak more English. He also thoughtfully offered me a complimentary dessert and drink, which I really appreciated. Despite this, it was a lovely experience, and I would absolutely recommend this tour with him! My only suggestion would be to keep English-language tours primarily in English so everyone can fully enjoy the experience.

The Chef, Mattin knew his stuff really well and did a good job demonstrating. He went over basic knife skill which to me was a complete waste of time (I think most people signing up for a cooking class already know this safe methodology). The other aspects of the class were spot on. My only disappointment comes from Basque cooking technique not from the class. It turns out this style of cooking uses blending food flavors for piquing the taste buds much more than using spices; the only spice used was salt. How to blend the flavors to accomplish this would be far too broad a subject for this 3-hour class, but I got enough information from the class to want more. Basque pintxos food is built on and highlights this technique but you cannot learn it from eating them unless you have some understanding of this in the first place. Since we had pintxos before the class it made me aware of this and we did spend 2 more meals eating pintxos to get a better understanding of the mixing and highlighting flavors we saw in the brief discussion of pintxos in the class. I highly recommend the class, but don't expect to learn how to build Basque flavors; that is a much more complex subject.

An unforgettable day exploring the French Basque Country with Diego. Leaving from San Sebastián, we visited Biarritz, Bayonne, and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with some time built in to wander and explore a bit on our own. Being from the region, Diego was incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and history, sharing so many great insights along the way. Excellent tour from start to finish; highly recommended!

A fantastic way to explore San Sebastián! The city is exceptionally bike-friendly, featuring dedicated, well-marked bike paths that make riding safe and seamless all the way around. Our tour guide, Alain, was incredible—engaging, knowledgeable, and great with the group. It was such an enjoyable experience that even our 19-year-old son loved every minute of it. Highly recommended for all ages!

We had an amazing experience on our food tour! Our guide, Gonzalo, had a great energy and blended local knowledge with an enthusiasm for the cuisine. I would highly recommend! Our meeting point was easy to find. The walk through the old town was very feasible - it's a compact area! He also gave us amazing tips on other places to dine during our trip. Our only piece of feedback is that the tour description was general, and left us with the impression that our pintxos would be less fish-forward. (Some members in our group were not as enthusiastic about fish, and we went with this tour because its description seemed to include less fishy stops.) That said, Gonzalo was amazing and kind to adapt on the spot, and we recognize that the cuisine in this region is quite obviously heavy on the seafood :) Thank you for this amazing trip highlight! 12 out of 10!

Ander was a fabulous guide, knowledgeable informative and helpful. He was attentive but also gave us our own time to explore the towns we visited. Friendly and courteous throughout the whole day he went above and beyond, even providing suggestions for our evening in Donastia. Would 110% recommends Ander, Nina & Go Basque for an authentic experience, whether you want a whole day tour or just a couple of hours they will accommodate your requirements. Five Stars - hope to meet again :)

We enjoyed a lovely day exploring Rioja! Our guide Victor was very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Our 11-year-old son was with us and Victor and the wineries were both very welcoming and gave him special juice and snacks and made sure he was included the full time. We went to two family run wineries and lunch in the town of Laguardia, and had a wonderful day and enjoyed getting to know the other family in our tour, too.
