Full description
Continue through the city to an iconic bar where the first pintxo, the famous gilda, was created. Taste it along with another seasonal pintxo and a glass of regional Basque txakoli wine.
From there, you’ll pause for a moment outside a third-generation wine store, a rarity in this part of town. Its since closed its doors, but your guide will share fascinating stories that immerse you in San Sebastian’s captivating recent history and give you a better understanding of the local culture.
Take a moment to admire the stunning San Sebastian Cathedral as your guide leads you to your next stop, local bar so beloved that it even inspired a famous Ibiza nightclub!
Try their exquisite homemade vermouth paired with one last round of pintxos: gourmet cured sardines on toast, a refreshing tomato salad made with locally sourced produce, and an unexpected snack paying homage to San Sebastian's maritime heritage.

Reviews
The tour was great and having priority on the boat was excellent
If you’re reading this, book it now! You’ll be one of the first on the boat and get the best spot before anyone else. Daniela (aka “Daniel”) treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. Her knowledge of the falls and the stories behind them was the perfect balance of informative and entertaining. She keeps you laughing throughout the tour and enjoys the experience right alongside you as if it were her first time seeing it. 10/10 — I would recommend this tour to anyone. As an added bonus, our group had only four people, which made the experience absolutely incredible and much more personal. Thanks again, Daniel! 😉
