We'll get started in the market to see what's fresh & whet your appetite, then it's off for a great city walk to learn the history of the region & its culture. Along the way we will lunch on pintxos (Basque tapas) at 3 of my favourite bars! It's a super fun & active experience--with wine, beer & cider!


From the modern to the traditional, from squid to foie gras, from local cider to local wines. Maybe we'll chew on a pig's ear or two?

Meeting & Pickup

Meeting Point

Muka, Zurriola Hiribidea, Gipuzkoa Euskadi, Spain, ES, 20002

Open in Google Maps
I'll meet you at the corner of the modern KURSAAL CONVENTION CENTER and the BRIDGE. You can't miss it. Look for MUKA Restaurante next door to the Ice Cream Shoppe. I'll be outside by the seawall along the river. I'm the guy with the curly hair and the moustache.
End Point

Constitución Plaza, Gipuzkoa Euskadi, Spain, ES, 20003

Open in Google Maps
Many guests like for me to end the tour at a bar so they can continue on their own. I'm happy to walk you to a taxi queue or your hotel when convenient. I will NEVER leave guests lost or alone and always make sure they are safe at the end of the night.
