We booked two tours with Basque Guides for my partner and his two parents who are in their 70/80s - 1) Private Pinxto Tour with Noemí 2) Private market tour and Club de Gastronomía. Having read all the reviews of the Club de Gastronomía and seeing how everyone said it was ‘not to be missed’ I thought it was worth booking. And then given San Sebastián is the heart of Pinxtos I also booked that tour (private so we could make the agenda bespoke with my parents in law who wouldn’t have been able to stand on their feet the whole time). I have to say, hands down, these are two of the best tours I’ve taken in a long time. Noemi was SUCH a character and Iker (who owns the company) organised such a great tour of 5 different pinxtos bars all whilst taking in to account my gluten intolerance and my parents in law requirements with the walking / standing. He even booked us tables at the bars which normally you can’t do. I’m so glad we did that on one of our first nights as it gave us a really quick overview of the Basque culture as well as the key bars to visit. Saving us looking like lemons, not knowing what to order and probably going to all the wrong places! Then came a Saturday lunch at the private gastronomy club with Chef Ben. WOWEE. What an experience. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time and Ben elegantly designed a menu around my intolerance which honestly felt like I wasn’t missing out. The desert was insanely good! We got to go to the market before and buy some jamon and olive oil which was great. And to be able to see a little insight in to these private clubs was incredible. I think Basque Guides are the only company to offer such an experience and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them. We literally rolled out of the club with a belly full of good and delicious wine. I can’t fault it at all. But even after the experience Iker kindly gave me and my family some tips of where to watch the Bandera de la Concha boat race the next day as well as some restaurant and bar recommendations. Seriously, book now, you won’t regret it and it’s well worth the price!

Extraordinary experience eating in a gastronomic society. Something that no one who visits Saint Sebastian should be deprived of. The deal and compliance of Iker amazing!

If you’re looking for something truly special in San Sebastián—beyond the excellent pintxos and postcard-perfect beaches—I suggest you book this experience ASAP! From the moment we met our guide, Iker, we knew we were in expert hands. Passionate, personable, and incredibly well-connected, he didn’t just lead us through the city & markets —he opened doors we didn’t even know existed. We explored the charming Old Town, learned about Basque history and traditions, and stopped at many historic spots along the way. However, the real highlight came when we were invited into a private gastronomical society—a privilege typically reserved for local members only. Walking through the doors felt like being let in on a secret. The atmosphere was intimate and warm, the kind of place where generations of locals come together to cook, eat, and share stories. Iker explained the deep-rooted tradition of these societies and how they’ve shaped the culinary identity of the region. And then—the food. We watched, talked and drank as Iker and Chef Ben prepared a multi-course meal right in front of us using market-fresh ingredients and time-honored techniques. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully explained. We were sipping local wines, asking questions, and laughing as though we were with old friends —all while feeling like part of something timeless and truly local. What made this experience unforgettable wasn’t just the food (which was, to be clear, extraordinary), but the authenticity of it all. There was no script, no tourist gimmick—just good people sharing good food in a space filled with pride, tradition, and joy. This isn’t just a dinner. It’s an invitation into San Sebastián’s soul.

Iker is beyond amazing at what he does and an all around wonderful human being. He is so knowledgeable about every single detail of the areas and the history, and kept us all completely engaged for hours! Our children (9 and 11) learned so much and it was an invaluable part of our trip- they will never forget this experience and neither will we! We learned all about the Basque culture and he shared a lot about his personal experiences growing up and living in San Sebastián. We had incredible pinxtos and explored the beautiful town. We cannot wait to do more tours with him when we come back. This is a must do if you are visiting!!

We loved every second of this experience. Ben was very fun. I have been to San Sebastián many times but this is the first time at a Sociedad Gastronomika. It was very special to be part of this Basque tradition. Thank you for helping us make some special memories.

This was a special experience for our family. We enjoyed our guide’s professional/ friendly/vibrant tour through San Sebastián and its market. At the gastronomy club we watched our chef prepare a superb multi-course lunch. We learned about regional wines and they were a great complement to the meal. Exactly the right length and pace. Worth every euro. Eskerrik asko to Iker and Ben. We hope to meet again.

We absolutely loved this experience! It was so much fun to go to the market to shop for fresh ingredients and then go to the gastronomy club for an incredible dinner. We learned so much about Basque culture, recipes, wines and dessert too! Our chef Ben and our guide Iker made the evening so special and we were made to feel very much at home in gorgeous San Sebastian. We aboslutely recommend this experience when you visit San Sebastian. Thank-you so much Basque Guides!

We loved every minute of this experience and it was a highlight of our holiday. It was such a treat to spend the evening with Iker and Ben. It was so special to spend the evening at the gastronomy club, enjoy the wonderful recipes and have such great conversations. This was such a great way to learn about Basque culture and we were made to feel so welcome. Try to include this experience in your visit to San Sebastian...you will be so happy!

This was hands down the best experience we could have asked for. From the history to the culture, you walk away with a better understanding of the Basque people. Our guide, Iker, was tremendous and to see a gastronomic society up close and personal was surreal. The food….sublime, and the interaction felt like we were with extended family. A few of our dishes were far better than what we experienced at a couple Michelin star restaurants. Highly recommended booking this experience if you’re planning on traveling to San Sebastián.

Our group of 8 had the MOST fun with Iker! We first enjoyed a town walking tour with a great mix of history & fun tales. We then visited the market to get food before entering the gastronomie club for wines, appetizers & a fabulous meal prepared by Iker! He had prepped some foods the day before, so we entered the club to a beautiful table, appetizers & lovely wines. We all SO enjoyed the day, local foods, his fresh tuna, but most especially charming Iker! All agreed it was a SPECIAL day! Def 5 stars!!
