    San Sebastian Beyond Pintxos Food Tour

    David_A, May 2026
    San Sebastian Beyond Pintxos food tour led by Iri was an excellent experience with a great tour guide and lovely group of companions. We visited various establishments and had a brilliant range of gastronomic delights nicely spaced out. We also visited a local natural wine supplier A variety of local drinks were on offer also and all the foods were specialities of the Basque region Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Sebastian Little tip though .....don't eat for a while beforehand

    Our foodie tour with Iri...

    Our foodie tour with Iri was amazing!!! Not only did she share amazing foods, wines and cocktails with us, she was so knowledgeable about San Sebastián (where she grew up) the Basque culture and general information about Spain. A delightful young lady who you immediately felt was a good friend. Each restaurant we visited was terrific, nice sized portions and plenty to drink. I’d highly recommend this tour and our guide Iri.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thanks Margo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the foodie tour and that you connected with both the flavors and the stories behind them. Sharing my hometown is something I genuinely love, so hearing that it felt like exploring with a friend makes it even more special.

    It was fantastic! We...

    Excellent tour with a super fun host, Alaia who was friendly, informative and a local! She took us to 2 great places in Gros, then over to old town to finish our tour. Great group and great guide.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Aupa Kathy! Eskerrik asko! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time on a tour with us, it was such a fun group to explore with! Hope the rest of your travels are just as enjoyable, and we look forward to seeing you again on another EE tour someday.

    Very informative, interesting and enjoyable! We learned a lot and happy to have met our tour guide!!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words Dana! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and that you found it informative and fun. Thanks for choosing our Beyond Pintxos tour in San Sebastian

    Save room for dessert!

    Shawn_C, Sep 2025
    This tour was amazing! We were not sure what to expect since there were not very many Viator reviews. The tour is new, so not many reviews yet, but don’t let that stop you. The tour guide, Iri, is a Basque native and shared with us a lot of information about the culture and history in a very entertaining way. There was a full meal’s worth of food; we barely had room for dessert (which was so lovely so be sure you do save some room). And, the “surprise” at the end of the tour was so much fun! Do not hesitate to sign up!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you Shawn for taking your time for such a lovely review! I’m so happy you had such a great time! 🥰 It means the world that you gave the tour a chance even with just a few reviews. Sharing Basque culture, history, and of course all the delicious food with you was such a joy. And I love that you enjoyed the surprise at the end! TXOTX!!!!!

    Thank you Iri & Alaia ☀️!

    Russell_B, Sep 2025
    Really fun evening! Plenty of options and a great insight into the Basque culture. Make sure not to miss this 🥳😀

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Russell & April, you were such great company! 😀 Thanks for joining the food tour, for the amazing chats and for diving into Basque culture with such enthusiasm. That TXOTX moment hey? 🍏🥳
