San Sebastian Top Pintxos Private Tour

One of the best tours we’ve ever done. We visited fantastic pintxos bars and enjoyed incredible food throughout the experience. Our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour both fun and informative. It was the perfect way to experience San Sebastián, and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had an incredible private pintxos tour with Luis from Basque Guides! We booked the tour on our first day in San Sebastián, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Not only did it introduce us to San Sebastián cuisine and culture, but it also gave us recommendations that shaped the rest of our trip. Many of the pintxos we tried on the tour ended up being our favorites of the entire vacation, and we found ourselves returning to several of the bars later in our stay. Luis was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and clearly passionate about Basque history and culture. He shared stories and insights throughout the evening, making the experience about so much more than just the food. Luis followed up afterward with thoughtful recommendations based on the conversations we had during the tour, which we really appreciated. If you're visiting San Sebastián, we can't recommend this experience enough. It was the perfect introduction to the city!

Great experience! The private tour was fantastic!

We had the best time with Iker. You can’t go wrong. He’s so knowledgeable about San Sebastian, Basque culture, eland, of course, pintxos. We had an exceptional time with him.

We had a great private Pintxos tour with Sandra. She tailored the tour to our preferences, and she made sure we ate at the must hit spots. She was efficient with our time as she got us into the more popular places earlier to beat the crowds. We had a great variety of foods and tried a few things we would not have chosen on our own. Highly recommend

A little pricey but the food, drinks and guide were excellent. We only had one night in San Sebastián so it was a good way for my wife and I to get to know the city’s history and experience variety of food and drinks quickly.

It was a delightful experience , being first time visiting San Sebastián. The guide was knowledgeable, introducing the Basque culture and food.

We splashed out on a private pintxos tour, money well spent. Gorka was an amazing guide, his history unparalleled and his knowledge and passion for pintxos and the Basque country superb. He matched the food and drink to our tastes and was both friendly and professional. A fantastic experience in San Sebastian. Would highly recommend.

We spent two incredible days exploring the Basque Country with Iker, and it exceeded every expectation. Day 1 was a pintxos and city center tour in San Sebastián. What made it special was that Iker took us to the spots locals actually go to — places we never would have found on our own. Every bite was fresh and perfectly chosen, and his wine pairings were just as impressive. This wasn’t a tourist crawl; it felt like eating with someone who genuinely loves the food culture here. Day 2 was a full coastal tour by car — St. Jean de Luz, Biarritz, and Hondarribia — in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. It was the ideal way to take in the beauty of the French and Spanish Basque coast without the stress of navigating or parking. Iker brought each town to life with context and stories that made the stops far more meaningful. What sets Iker apart is how effortlessly he connects with you. He’s fluent in English, Spanish, and Basque, knowledgeable without being lecture-y, and genuinely warm company for two full days. If you’re visiting the Basque Country and want to experience it the way it deserves to be experienced, book Iker. Highest recommendation.

Sarah was wonderful and so on top of reading what we like and making sure we felt welcomed in every place we entered. With a gluten allergy she made sure my day was perfect and safe for me. Highly recommend her tour
