We had so much fun with Iker on our Pintxos food & drink tour. Two out of four of us had some tricky food restrictions/preferences and Iker made sure that we all got to experience unique and delicious food. We learned so much from him about Basque history and culture while having a blast. It felt more like a night out visiting a friend than being on a touristy excursion.

Our fabulous local tour guide Carlotta ensured we had a great night. She provided a history of San Sebastián while we wandered through old town stopping to sample the local beers and wine as well as the pintxos. The company accommodated our group of 6 including dietaries for 1 vegan. Plenty of food and drinks. Would recommend.

As in Bilbao, wonderful guide: Jon, picked us at the port of Pasaia, about 10 miles from the big town; so, we first drove to beautiful Hondarribia, up over some mountains where we visited some of the “semi-wild” horses (and cattle). Hondarribia is on the river that divides France from Spain. So, over the years, the countries have fought over the place. A lovely town to walk through. Then to San Sebastian, Jon's home town. Drove through town up to an overlook, Monte Igueldo. Gorgeous. A place simply to walk and enjoy the views. Downtown for pintxos. But more “sophisticated this time. Stops: Casa Vergara for roca de bacalao (blacken rock cod). Then, off to Atari for beef cheeksover potatos with a sauce, carrillera foie plancha (foie gras with chopped tomatoes and spices, salted, toasted cornbread crumbs and a white chocolate sauce (not sweet)) – to die for, and callos (pork belly in sauce (too fatty for us). Then to ItxaroPena for baby scallops served on a scallop shell with a lemony white wine sauce, mushroom muffin with an egg yolk, and pieces of steak in a red wine sauce. Finally, to La Vina for cheesecake (not too sweet), with a dollop of dark sherry from Pedro Jimenez. Wow. (The tour included another pintxo, but we were full)

A group of 4 of us had an amazing time walking the streets of San Sebastián with Iker. As well as taking us to the great pintxos bars to sample the local delicious food and wine, Iker was also incredibly knowledgeable about the area and town. His enthusiasm for the people and culture really shines through as he shares his vast experience with us. I would highly recommend this tour. I would also reccomend doing the tour on one of the first days in San Sebastian as it was a real educational experience to see and feel how what the locals do. Thanks again Iker!!!
