"Melani met us with a huge smile and her warmth radiated for the rest of the evening. It was only me and my partner which was perfect for us. Malani shared her extensive local knowledge, listened and asked us questions and recommended pintxos she knew we'd like. The food and wine/cider were delicious and the evening went too fast! "

"We did the Pintxo tasting walking tour with a private guide, Usua. She was so knowledgeable, not only about San Sebastian, but the food and drink and the history of it. She was really interesting, friendly and charming and we had a great time. Highly recommend! "

""All pintxos bars are the same", is what I said after trying to tour them by myself. BUT after spending about 3 hours with Usua, I realized that my tourist-centric perspective couldn't have been more WRONG. Usua is brilliant, an art historian and native of San Sebastián who brought a perspective to the bars and restaurants of Old Town that I never would have discovered on my own. The reason I thought they were all the same was because I didn't understand the stories, the history, and the nuances of each of the bars, and each of the pintxos. Usua brought all this to life for me, and had me tasting items I NEVER would have ordered myself. It turns out that each of the places has a specialty, but it's not obvious unless you know what to ask for. There's a anchovy specialty location, a beef cheeks specialty, a txistorra specialty, and the best place to taste the iconic Basque cheesecake. This was a fantastic education for me, because I've been too busy ordering plain-old shrimp! I discovered the iconic Gilda and the reason behind eating this one first. I learned the history of pintxos and gained greater appreciation of the art behind them. I highly recommend Usua for a private tour through the old town of San Sebastián because it not only fills your belly, but your mind as well."

"We hebben een super leuke en heerlijke (food)tour gehad van Usua. Ze heeft ons een kleine tour gegeven door het centrum en ervoor gezorgd dat we in de soms drukke horecagelegenheden de lekkerste pintxos kregen. Het is een vrij prijzige tour (alleen daarom geen 10), maar het is het waard! Gracias Usua :-) "

"We did the pintxos tour with Usua, and it was a fantastic introduction to the food, history, and culture of San Sebastián. Usua seemed to know absolutely everything about the city, whenever I noticed an interesting sculpture or landmark, she could explain it in detail.

Usua seemed to know absolutely everything about the city, whenever I noticed an interesting sculpture or landmark, she could explain it in detail. She also shared personal stories about growing up in the Basque Country, which gave us such meaningful insight into the people and culture. Of course, the pintxos were amazing. She took us to excellent spots and had a great sense of what we’d enjoy. I highly recommend this tour and especially Usua."

"We had such a fantastic experience with Usua on our food tour. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not just amazing food but the stories, culture and history of San Sebastián, which made the whole evening feel really special. The tour felt completely bespoke to us. Usua took the time to understand what we wanted and tailored the experience accordingly, going above and beyond to make sure our first evening was perfect. She also made a real effort to ensure a coeliac in our group was exceptionally well catered for. A brilliant introduction to San Sebastián – we’d highly recommend her."

"We had a lovely stress free walk along the beautiful coastline. Usua was engaging & enjoyable company. We had perfect walking weather. A great break before returning to eat more of San Sebastián’s incredible food. Highly recommend. "

"Full of knowledge and passion. Some great food and pointers for places to go later. Highly recommended "

"Usua is a great local guide, knowledgeable and friendly. We were taken to some wonderful bars and had delicious local plates and drinks. We learnt a lot about the food culture as well as local history. Highly recommended."

"The hike was very good. Usua was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Basque region and Spain. She’s very easy to talk to. The hike is well maintained and not too challenging but long enough to be worthwhile. "
