Heads up, though – markets take a break on weekends and holidays. No worries, we’ve got a pintxo backup plan for those days!

We spent a wonderful day with Jon touring San Sebastian. He was very fun, energetic, knowledgeable and also a great photographer. The pictures he took of our group were among the best. We especially liked the pintxos tour of the market and restaurants . All of Jon's efforts made our day in San Sebastian a great one!! We would definitely book him again.

Jon is AWESOME! We've travelled to 56 countries with hundreds of tours. He is undoubtedly Number 1. His preparation and knowledge of history, culture, customs, architecture and FOOD are outstanding. Jon's tours are not cookie cutter and he is passionate about pleasing his clients. His overall knowledge of the Basque Country is amazing - he led us to the best sites and many out of the way hidden gems. The highlight was the San Sebastián Pintxos 'crawl'.

Jon was absolutely AMAZING. Celebrating my birthday in San Sebastian with my family, Jon did an incredible job creating the perfect itinerary. With a 9 year-old child, it is always important to find a way to keep it fun for younger ones aAing special bites of food for her and teaching her about the stunning culture of San Sebastian. When we go back to this area, we cannot wait to see Jon again! 5 HUGE stars
