San Sebastian Food Tours

Yes—100%. Donostia rewards insiders. Pintxo culture is fast, delicious, and wonderfully ritualized, but it can be confusing if you don’t know when to order, what to point at, or why the wine is poured from shoulder height. With a local host, you’ll glide through Old Town and Gros, tasting chef-made signatures and seasonal classics, each paired with txakoli or cider, while learning the etiquette that locals swear by. No tourist traps, no plate piling, just the best bars at the best times. It’s dinner, a masterclass in Basque culture, and a city orientation in one—premium, effortless, and worth it on night one.

Pintxos (the Basque cousin of tapas), line-caught anchovies, Idiazabal cheese, Atlantic cod, txuleta (Basque steak), cider, and crisp, lightly sparkling txakoli. From humble bars to Michelin temples, the city punches way above its weight.

Yes. Donostiarras love their city and they’re proud to share it—especially over a good pintxo and a glass of txakoli. Join the early-evening paseo along La Concha, be respectful in bars (no shouting, no table hogging), and you’ll feel like part of the nightly ritual in no time.
