My teenage son got to experience new foods and learned how to pour a sidra inro a glass. Esky encouraged sharing and tasting while making sure the kitchen delivered the best pintxos. Nothing was served pre- made. It was either hot and fresh or it was not accepted by Esky. Sure you can good…”

“This tour was a nice paced tour. However, when we would stop to hear the history about San Sebastián, our guide always seemed to be in competition with construction, loud music and large groups. The food was a nice stop, but it would have Ben better if each person on the tour could have picked their own food item.”
