Hi guys
Do you do tours at San Sebastián even for people who are vegetarian
Hi Shalini! Our Ultimate San Sebastian Pintxos & Wine Tour is vegetarian-friendly, both the evening and daytime options. Note that a lot of the veggie tastes include mushrooms, so if you aren’t a mushroom fan the menu will be quite limited! Hope to see you on tour!
