"Georgia is a Greek diamond found in the extortionate city of San Sebastián. By all means you can do a Pintxos tour yourself but frankly you need to do both. Firstly with Georgia to understand how it all works, to take you to the primo places and then explore yourself. Georgia has a winning smile that will brighten up any day. Great fun."
"Usua was an absolute gem of a guide! Our first day in Donostia was made even more special thanks to her time with us. We learned so much about the fascinating Basque people and their rich culture. It was an amazing way to immerse ourselves in the city and get a feel for its unique vibe. We’d definitely recommend Usua to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in San Sebastian."

A wonderful time with Georgia
"We had the pleasure of making the pintxos tour with Georgia. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, energetic and fun. The time just flew by as we were exploring the iconic San Sebastian foods and drinks and listening to interesting facts and stories about the place and it's people. We can warmly recommend Georgia!"

An Unforgettable Pintxos Tour with Usua!
"Our pintxos tour in San Sebastián with Usua was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we met her, it was clear we were in great hands — Usua's warmth, energy, and deep knowledge of the city made the experience unforgettable. She not only guided us to some incredible pintxos bars that we might never have found on our own, but also shared fascinating insights about the town’s rich history and culture.
What made the tour even more special was Usua's genuine passion for San Sebastián. She went beyond the typical tourist recommendations, pointing us toward hidden gems — both restaurants and sites — that gave us a much deeper, more authentic feel for the city. Thanks to her suggestions, we discovered amazing places that became some of our favorite memories of the trip.
If you're visiting San Sebastián and want an experience that’s personal, delicious, and truly insightful, a tour with Usua is an absolute must. Highly recommended!"
"Usua was great! She gave a lot of history, took us to great tapas bars, provided a great variety of really good tapas and drinks. It was a great tour and well worth it!"
"Usua is really knowledgeable about the history and art and culture of the region, and she took us to try some fantastic pintxos. It was a really lovely afternoon - highly recommend!"
"Georgia took our family of 3 on a 2 hour pinxtos tour of old town San Sebastián
My sons are aged 12 and 16
Prior to the trip, she was helpful with tailoring a food tour to us, our experience and preferences.
On the day, Georgia was friendly, enthusiastic and joyful. She took us to quite a few pinxtos bars. We had been in San Sebastián for about 3 days prior, and despite having already experienced the local fare on our own, she ensured we tried a wide range of food almost all of which were new to us. She also paid attention to experiences we had done and shared with her, and adjusted her food orders to optimise our experience.
She gave us interesting insights into local life and culture as well.
All in all, a wonderful 2 hours with a resident that added colour and perspective to our trip.
Highly recommended "

A great way to spend a few hours!
"We had a lovely few hours with Usua who was able to introduce my wife and I to not only the cuisine of San Sebastien but the culture and history.
The food and drink we were introduced to were excellent and we would not have know about them or what to ask for without Usua's advice. "
