Wonderful experience that gave us a taste of the town through pintxos. Our guide Kristina was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Highly recommend her if you have a choice.
Our pintxos tour with Kai was one of the highlights of our time in San Sebastián. He met us at our hotel and walked us into the Old Town, sharing the kind of local knowledge you only get from someone who grew up there. Kai was incredibly generous with his time and made the experience feel personal to us, while introducing us to places and dishes we never would have discovered on our own. We had such a wonderful time and can’t recommend Kai and Mimo highly enough!
What a fantastic experience! Veronica curated a very high quality list of stops with reserved tables, excellent food and wine. They were truly the best pintxos I’ve ever eaten! She was informative and fun. I would 💯 recommend her tour for anyone!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a fantastic evening with Veronica. Carefully choosing each stop, securing the right spots and pairing exceptional pintxos with local wines is all part of creating a seamless experience of San Sebastián’s food culture. Hearing they were the best pintxos you’ve ever eaten is quite a compliment! We’ll make sure Veronica sees your lovely words.
We had a wonderful easy going evening in a small group of like minded people. Kai our guide was very knowledgeable and good company. He made everything very smooth and always ensured we had a table to lean on. The food and wine were fantastic. It was a great way to experience the best pintxos bars in San Sebastián. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed such a relaxed evening discovering San Sebastián’s pintxos scene with Kai. Small groups, carefully selected bars and great food and wine are at the heart of the experience, and Kai’s local knowledge makes it all come together. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Donostia for another gastronomic experience!
Highly recommend. Kai was our guide and he was fantastic. We got to taste of a lot of things and went to places that aren’t hyped up on social media. The small group size was great (we were six).
Thank you so much, Rachel! We’re delighted you enjoyed the evening with Kai. One of the things we value most is taking guests beyond the obvious spots and introducing them to places with real character, great food and strong local connections. We’re also glad you appreciated the small-group format—it makes the experience much more personal and relaxed. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to San Sebastián again soon!
An excellently interesting tour with very good products and a super guide.

What a wonderful evening learning about San Sebastián while enjoying fabulous Pintxos and wine, expertly guided by Kai. Very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about the food, history and wider region, topped off by a few laughs along the way. Highly recommend Kai as a guide.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a memorable evening with Kai. Great pintxos and wine are at the heart of the experience, but understanding the stories, history and culture behind them is what really brings San Sebastián’s food scene to life. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Kai—and we’re glad there were plenty of laughs along the way too! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Donostia.
A great evening and a really good introduction to San Sebastián. Kai was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, easy company, and good at pacing the evening so it never felt rushed. He clearly knows the bars and the people in them. The food was the star. Standouts for us were the goat cheese, the duck breast, the beef cheek and the French toast dessert — all excellent, and all things we’d never have found on our own. The wine matched well throughout. If you’re new to the city and want to understand how pintxos actually work before striking out on your own, this is the way to start. Highly recommended
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that the tour gave you a great introduction to San Sebastián and helped you understand how the local pintxos culture really works. Kai’s relationships with the bars and his ability to pace the evening naturally are a big part of creating that insider experience. We especially loved reading about your favorite dishes—the goat cheese, duck breast, beef cheek and French toast are all fantastic choices. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope you enjoyed putting your new pintxos knowledge into practice afterwards!
I took the early evening tour and loved it. Guide Jon was very friendly, informative, engaging and accommodating of some food allergies and preferences in our group. There were 10 people in our English-speaking group from a variety of countries, and it was so fun getting to know everyone. The pintxos and wine/cider were delicious. I felt comfortably full at the end, and also not too intoxicated (which I was afraid of after having a drink at each stop…I think the pacing and food helped). Delicious food and great guide. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the food, drinks and social atmosphere of the evening with Jon. We always want our tours to feel relaxed and well paced, while making sure dietary preferences and allergies are handled with care. It’s also lovely to hear that you enjoyed getting to know the rest of the group—that shared experience around food is such an important part of pintxos culture. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Donostia
It was just a wonderful experience. Kai knew all the great spots and he was an awesome guide. His knowledge was vast and he was funny and enthusiastic. Loved every minute of it
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you loved every minute of the tour with Kai. His knowledge, enthusiasm and sense of humor make him a fantastic ambassador for San Sebastián and its pintxos culture. Thank you for joining us and for your wonderful words. We hope to share another gastronomic experience with you on your next visit!
