Parte Vieja

San Sebastián (known as Donostia in Basque) is a city renowned worldwide for its gastronomic tradition. Without doubt the unrivalled “Star” and featured in every bar is the Pintxo. The picturesque old town (Parte Vieja) is completely packed with Pintxos bars — so many that knowing where to go and what to order can be completely overwhelming. We will take you to the very finest pintxo bars that visitors are unlikely to discover on their own and we will suggest the best pintxo in each bar and the most suitable drink to accompany it, chosen from Cider, Txakoli (Basque white wine) or red wine. From our meeting point we will visit the Old Town of San Sebastian where you will learn about Basque traditions and customs. You will visit bars off the normal tourist trail, eating and drinking like locals do.

Five Stars Isn’t Enough for Eskerne!

Easiest decision you’ll make in San Sebastián. Booking Eskerne with Discover San Sebastián was the highlight of our time in Spain. She is so genuine, authentic and enjoyable to be around. Every pintxo we had was spectacular. You’re treated like royalty at all of the bars when you’re with Eskerne. We went on a particularly very busy night but Eskerne navigated us through the crowded streets and bars to our tables and secured all of our drinks and pintxos with ease. I cannot recommend her enough....read more

Thank you so much, Derek, for this incredibly generous review! I truly appreciate your words and I’m so happy that the pintxos tour with Discover San Sebastián was one of the highlights of your time in Spain. It was a real pleasure to share the evening with you and to show you San Sebastián through its food, local bars, atmosphere, and people. San Sebastián can be very busy, especially on certain nights, so I’m very glad I could make the experience feel easy, comfortable, and special for you — with everything taken care of, from the tables to the drinks and pintxos. For me, that is such an important part of the tour: helping guests enjoy the city without stress, while discovering truly exceptional food and places they can trust. I’m also so happy that the recommendations I sent afterwards were helpful and that you went back the next night to continue enjoying the bars and pintxos on your own. That means a lot to me, because I always want guests to leave not only with a beautiful memory, but also with the confidence to keep exploring San Sebastián like insiders. Thank you again for recommending me so warmly. I hope to welcome you back one day for another delicious evening in San Sebastián.

Fabulous introduction to Pintxos

We would highly recommend this tour, our guide Eskerne was absolutely brilliant and the food and drinks were delicious and lots of choice. A fantastic introduction to Pintxos! Eskerne took lots of photos which she forwarded at the end of the tour which will be a great reminder of the evening. We were a family party but I would also look forward to doing it again with friends, so much fun!

Eske is the bestie!

Wow - if you love food, visit San Sebastian and make sure you do it with Eske guiding you. Either as part of her group tours or as a private guide. We went as a group of 8 and booked a private tour with her. From the moment we met she was fun fun fun. We are quite a handful as a bunch but she kept the tour focussed and in check and took us to places we would have never have thought of going to. And the bars that we had heard of...she just skips to the front of the queue....it was a Saturda...read more

Thank you so much for this amazing review! I absolutely loved spending the evening with your group of 8 — you were definitely full of energy, but that made the tour even more fun and memorable. I’m so happy you enjoyed discovering places you may never have found on your own, as well as experiencing some of the more popular pintxo bars without losing time in the Saturday crowds. Your words about my knowledge and passion for gastronomy mean a lot to me. For me, a food tour in San Sebastián is not only about eating and drinking well, but also about understanding the food, the bars, the history, and the people behind everything we taste. I’m so glad the evening stayed with you all, and I would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to San Sebastián for another tour anytime.

“The Mayor” Delivers

Eskerne, aka “The Mayor,” is a fabulous guide. She is known by the chefs and staff throughout the old town. All of our pintxo selections came from the kitchen, not the countertop. As a bonus, we got a great deal of historical information during our walk. Absolutely fabulous experience.

Response from ViatorAugust 06, 2026

Thank you so much, Jeff, for this fabulous review! “The Mayor” made me smile — I’ll happily take that title as a compliment! I’m so glad you enjoyed discovering the Old Town through freshly prepared pintxos from the kitchen, local connections, and a little history along the way. It was a real pleasure to share San Sebastián with you and make the experience feel authentic, personal, and delicious. Eskerne Falcón | Discover San Sebastián | Curated Pintxo & Food Tours

A gem of a tour

It was our first time in San Sebastián so we booked Eske’s tour to give us a good first day introduction- it was incredible. Not only is her knowledge of the area historic and current amazing, her choice of pintxos and local cider and wine incredible, she is just a rare gem of a person that brings joy, humour and the best of conversation. We will be back and I cannot recommend you go meet her highly enough.

Thank you so much, Sharon, for such a beautiful review! I’m truly happy that the tour was such a special first-day introduction to San Sebastián. It was a real pleasure to share the history, local life, pintxos, cider, wine, and some of my favorite places with you. Your words about joy, humour, and conversation mean so much to me, because for me the tour is not only about food — it is about connection, feeling welcome, and experiencing the city in a warm and personal way. I will be so happy to welcome you back anytime for more stories, more laughs, and more delicious moments in San Sebastián. Eskerne Falcón | Discover San Sebastián | Curated Pintxo & Food Tours
