Itinerary
Gastronomy is one of the highlights of our culture, of our way of life. Going for pintxos is something that the people of San Sebastián do and that we like to offer to the visitor and to those who inhabit the city. Good food in our city can be generalized, but of course there are different categories of bars and restaurants, tapas and ways to live the experience. So we will visit the best selection of 4 bars with the best pintxos and pairing for the day that we share the experience of going for pintxos together in San Sebastián. There are prizes for the best pintxos, but the greatest competition is that which is generated by word of mouth in the streets. We like to know what new pintxos our bars offer and what is the best bite to taste fish, meat, vegetables or any new combination at any time. You will learn the history of the pintxos, how is the real experience of going for pintxos and the secrets of the preparation of the pintxos that we will eat.

Lander is a great tour guide. It was like going out for drinks with a friend. He introduced to the pinchos culture and history. He is informative about the history of the region. The places we visited were representative of both traditional and modern styles. I would certainly recommend his tour.
On our first night in San Sebastian we decided to do a Pintxos tour using Donesti Republic. The website is easy to use and the booking system is simple. Communications with the owner are good with clear meeting instructions. The tour itself was great. Landers knowledge of his city is excellent as his the choice of bars that we visited. Despite heavy rain we navigated 4 busy bars with many people choosing to shelter. Lander very quickler had his order of Pintxos and wine delivered to our table and we relished each one. The combinations were so well thought out and all delicious. I highly recommend this company to get your trip to San Sebastian of to a flyer.
Can’t recommend this tour highly enough. A really enjoyable two hours spent with Lander for our family of two adults and one child (aged 9). Really informative and we got to visit four different Pintxos places. Great way to get your bearings of the old town and find out where the best food places are.
Lander our guide was superb. Not only we visited his best bars he also gave a brilliant history overview as well. Big thank you! Marco
Thank you very much! A real pleasure!
My husband and I took this pintxos tour on our first night in San Sebastian. Lander was a perfect host. There was just the two of us, so another guide might have cancelled. Not Lander. He explained that he tries to keep the groups small anyways to make sure there is a genuine touch to it. We went to 4 different places, all his favourites, all very genuine and with great food and drink. We also got a lot of advice and insights into what more to do and test in San Sebastian. I can definately recommend this tour. And it was also a great way to start our weekend trip.
Thank you very much! Good to hear that you had a great time in the tour and all the weekend. A real pleasure, thank you for the kind words and valorating all these things.
This tour was great, both food wise and historically wise. Lander was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He cared about his culture and was happy to share this. The pintxos were absolutely delicious! The pork belly, the ‘rock cod’. He also gave alternatives….good stuff🏆
Thank you very much Regina for those nice words! It was a pleasure to share my time with you four.
It was great to discover the city's gastronomy with Lander! Furthermore, thanks to who he is, he made us feel very comfortable with each other; More than a tour it seemed like a great group of friends! Thanks Lander!
¡Genial! Es lo que se quiere conseguir. ¡Muchas gracias! Un placer tenerte en el grupo
Very good experience. It is a total game changer to have a local guide for the pintxo tour. Lander gave us the best insight, a lot of information about the city and its culture, he created a great vibe. Super friendly and knowledgeable. We were on a small group, perfect to navigate the old town and its bars. A total must, thanks Lander!
Thank you Claire, I enjoy being drawn out to discuss our culture. A pleasure to have you!
The tour was amazing. Being with a born and raised basque person is a game changer. We felt lucky to be with Lander and didn't feel like the other touristic groups, more like friends hanging out and having fun in the city. All the adresses were incredible.
I am pleased to know that I achieve that and to have been able to give you all that you named. A pleasure! Thank you very much!
One of the best tours we have ever taken! Lander is friendly and knowledgeable not only about pintxos but about everything in Donostia. We learnt all about history and architecture, and had the best pintxos paired with great wines. Totally recommend this tour and any Donosti Republic has to offer, a truly amazing experience driven by a passionate local!
I am delighted to have been able to give you all the things you mentioned. A real pleasure! Thank you
