Great tour with Jon. Do it as soon as you arrive! - Jon is funny, friendly, entertaining, interesting and, I almost forgot, we did enjoy delicious pintxos and wines. What a great time! We just wished we had done this tour the first day we arrived in SB to take advantage of the tips and advice from Jon for the rest of our trip.

Unmissable foodie tour - Amazingly informative & fun guided tour of the city and its foodie highlights by the brilliant Jon. Great choice of market stalls and bars showcasing local owners and suppliers Jon selected high quality venues and the best pintxos, local wines, produce & cider. Very generous portions too - you’ll go home full with a big smile and with a much better appreciation of Basque food and culture. Highly recommended and a great way to start your stay in the area because Jon is happy to recommend places you should visit (and avoid) for the rest of your stay in Donostia/San Sebastian

Great farewell experience with Daria - Daria created a very special experience for all of us. Being the last tour in her career, she brought all of her character in making this a memorable evening in San Sebastian. It's a rare thing to meet a Russian as a tour guide, but I truly appreciate this experience from my compatriot! Best of luck with your other talents. And many thanks to your boss for the great culinary tips! That's an awesome aftertaste!
