Our pintxos tour with Kai was one of the highlights of our time in San Sebastián. He met us at our hotel and walked us into the Old Town, sharing the kind of local knowledge you only get from someone who grew up there. Kai was incredibly generous with his time and made the experience feel personal to us, while introducing us to places and dishes we never would have discovered on our own. We had such a wonderful time and can’t recommend Kai and Mimo highly enough!
Response from the operator · MimoBiteteam Thank you for such a wonderful recommendation!

We're delighted that the experience felt personal and introduced you to some unexpected discoveries along the way.
We'll make sure Kai sees your lovely words!
