Explore Sweet San Sebastian – A Dessert Lovers’ Dream Tour

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this experience will be your happy place. Join us on a three-hour morning tour across three neighborhoods of San Sebastian, exploring its sweetest traditions, stories, and flavors.

We’ll stop at six carefully selected bakeries, cafés, and specialty shops, where you’ll enjoy more than 10 tastings—from flaky pastries and gooey caramels to traditional Basque cakes, modern desserts, artisanal chocolate, and even a cheese tasting paired with a glass of wine (yes, cheese is dessert too!).

Along the way, your bilingual guide will share the stories of the city, its history, and the passionate people behind each recipe. This isn’t just about tasting—it’s about understanding how desserts carry culture and connect people.

What makes this tour unique?

  • A sweet cultural immersion: discover iconic patisseries, the oldest bakery in town, and hidden local gems.
  • 10+ tastings, including coffee or tea and a wine pairing to end on a high note.
  • Small groups (2–6 people) to keep it personal, with private tours available.
  • Travel with purpose: with every booking, we donate a meal to Zaporeak, a local NGO that cooks for refugees. You eat one, you feed one.

Experience starting point

Paseo Duque de Mandas 46, 20012 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain. Right outside ‘Taba café’ in the TABAKALERA building, just across The Maria Cristina bridge (my favourite bridge). There’s a terrace outside that’s part of the café, let’s meet there.

Experience ending point

We will finish the experience in the Old Town of San Sebastian
