The tour with Hector was awesome and a wonderful local host. Not only were the food and drinks spectacular but Hector introduced us to places we could NEVER have found ourselves and gave us so much interesting information on San Sebastián Basque food and culture that it would have been worth the money even without any pinxto or drinks. An altogether uplifting tour and I wish we had done it on our first day in San Sebastián.
