    A night to remember.

    "Our evening food tour round San Sebastian old town with Ibeth was definitely one for the memory bank! Ibeth has a chatty,buzzy personality and made the four of us feel as if we were all mates shooting the breeze on a pinxto bar crawl. We got a good selection of different pinxtos and accompanying drinks which helped us take the pulse of San Sebastian's food scene quickly. Without such an initiation by a local guide it can be a bit daunting. Definitely recommend Ibeth's tour and well worth it."

    Legendary local with superpower fast pass

    "If you are thinking of investing in a guide to help orientate or experience San Sebastian and its amazing pintxos scene - do not hesitate, book Ibeth immediately. Ibeth took all the stress away and made it look easy. Four of us sailed into the best Pintxos places, tasted amazing pintxos with the sensational matching wine she recommended. As a local, she had access to tables and seating and the ability to skip queues (including the delicious pintxos and Basque cheescake at La Vina🥰) - it felt really, really special. We arranged the pintxos tour for our 1st night and it helped orientate us, Ibeth gave lots of recommendations for other restaurants / pintox for the rest of our stay with help to book also. Thankyou Ibeth for your incredible hospitality. We totally loved it. It made our holiday 🙏 "

    Excellent

    "We had a fantastic tour with Usua in San Sebastián. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and we loved hearing about the city’s history and culture as we explored. She made the whole pintxos experience so easy, especially with my food allergies, going out of her way to make sure I had just as much delicious food to enjoy as everyone else. She also knew exactly where to go, taking us to some of the very best spots in town. A brilliant guide who made our visit all the more memorable. Highly recommend!"

    Great tour in San Sebastian

    Beyond the beach and pintox!

    "We spent a lovely few hours strolling the streets of San Sebastián with Usua. It was relaxed, bespoked and very enjoyable. Usua was sensitive to our interests and causally told us many anecdotes about the town as we walked - history, architecture, culture, traditions, cuisine etc. She answered all of our questions and found the perfect spot to sample a few Pintox we had yet to try. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. The only reason I do not rate the value higher was because there was only 2 of us on the tour, so per person, it was not cheap, but this was our choice. I’m still glad we did the tour however! "

    Usua was a great source of knowledge.

    "Usua was kind and thoughtful, as I am 80 and was having trouble with the heat wave. Her choices of Pinxos and drinks were marvelous. She shared history and art and architectural details beautifully ! It was a wonderful experience."
