Mostly standing in tight spaces; limited vegetarian options. Rated 4.9 by 62 travellers. ## Overview While San Sebastian’s Old Town is undeniably captivating, it can also get pretty crowded—which is why locals usually head into Centro instead for their pintxos crawls. On this pintxos tour, you’ll join your friendly foodie guide and become an honorary San Sebastian resident for the evening as you eat and drink your way across the neighborhood, experiencing a more authentic side of the Basque Country along the way. From classic pintxos to pleasant surprises most visitors will have never heard of, there’s no better part of San Sebastian to get fully immersed in what’s long been considered one of the best foodie cities in the world. ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.9/5 from 62 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Devour San Sebastian Food Tours ## What's included - Plaza Cervantes - San Martín Market - Local English-speaking guide - 9 food tastings (enough for dinner) - Maria Cristina Bridge - 2 pintxos bars - 4 local drinks - Reyes Catolicos Street ## Not included - Hotel Pick-up/Drop-off - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Mercado de San Martin** (1h 10m; admission included) - Start your tour at San Sebastián’s central San Martín Market, where locals shop daily.
