Private Walking Tour of San Sebastián This was a wonderful, informative tour. Our guide, Usana, a local, was very knowledgeable about San Sebastián’s culture. I feel like we got an excellent tour of the city and its culture. And of course, delicious pintxos. A perfect tour!

From start to finish, this was an excellent tour with Iker. The pace was perfect for us and Iker took us to all the important areas, with explanations and chats, so we learnt about the area. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend this tour with Iker, perfect.

Felix was a wonderful passionate guide who grew up and lives in the area. He gave us an insight into the history and culture of San Sebastián and the Basque region. We would highly recommend Felix and this private walking tour.

Tour guide was personable, and answered many questions. Her knowledge is a plus for this tour. She gave us tips for eating which were definitely a high light after the tour.

Imanol was an excellent tour guide and made us very comfortable. His knowledge on basque history with respect to a variety of subjects was incredible. Loved this tour for its easy pace. Ideally 2 hours on this wud be enough compared to the 3 hour schedule that we undertook.

Fran gave my friend and I a great tour despite the cold, wind and rain. He has a depth of knowledge about the history of this beautiful city and stayed the course. We both learned so much and we were eager to visit again the places we saw. We both thought the tour was overpriced and expected to go to more than one bar/restaurant. Regardless, Fran was enthusiastic, sincere, fun and interesting.

San Sebastian is a wonderful city. However, our tour was not informative at all. Though our guide (Lander) was a very nice guy, but his knowledge of the city is minimal. He didn’t even know the name of María Cristina’s husband! We did not learn much about the history, lives, architecture, food (of the past and present). No interesting stories. Really quite disappointing.

Helene was a great guide. She was Able to share pertinent history about the city of San Sebastian. We walked all along the city and she was able to show us all of the interesting places that are there. She also gave us an incredible restaurant recommendation that we were able to secure it with her assistance for that night at a three star Michelin restaurant. We thoroughly or enjoyed our time with Helene
