Excellent tour guide Ibeth who was very knowledgeable and made our tour very interesting and friendly. The food and drink sampled were excellent and a very good experience
Ana was such a great guide and we had a really lovely group of people. All the food and wines were incredible and definitely worth doing the tour - I would never have known where to go and what to order. Thank you so much for showing us around!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear that Ana and the tour made your experience with food and wine so memorable.
Great tour with very knowledgable local expert. Really brought the whole place to life. Highly recommended - we really enjoyed it.
Thanks! It’s always a pleasure to receive such positive feedback.
Ikea, our tour guide is delightful. Being born and growing up in San Sebastian he is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. We learnt a lot about the origins of Pintxos and enjoyed eating and drinking local wines. Highly recommend this tour company.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad Ikea made your tour fun and informative. We really appreciate your recommendation.
Great food! A guide helps you navigate many restaurants/bars to get the best food ever. Even had vegetarian options for me!
Thank you very much for your comment! We are glad you enjoyed the tour and our gastronomy!
As a tourist and a travel advisor, I highly recommend Local Experts. I and a friend took both the 2-hour Pintxos tour and the half-day Txacoli tour while staying in San Sebastian in August. We had a superb time as part of small groups of other tourists. The food, wines and guides were fabulous. Josu was most helpful in arranging my tours and went above and beyond customizing a private pintxos tour for my clients who were in San Sebastian this week. They absolutely loved the tour and the food. I was thrilled that they enjoyed the tour as much as I did.
Thank you for the comment! We are glad you enjoyed our local gastronomy!
