Kim_G, Jul 2026

A must do in San Sebastián

It’s a great way to travel from one side of the bay to the other, take in all the sights and get a history and politics lesson all in one go, not to mention tips on beer, food and wine. A thoroughly great way to spend a couple of hours in the fresh air and sunshine.

Fun and informative tour in San Sebastián

My husband, son (11 years old) and I did this tour our first night in San Sebastián. It was a great way to get a feel for the city, some history and decorum for Pinxtos, restaurants, bars, etc. The tour was very accommodating for our son, with snacks he’d like and drinks just for him. We also had a lively group of tour mates, which made for a fun experience and a chance to get to know others and have a social night out. My only recommendation would be to order the extra package with more drinks - some locations did not offer a drink with the base purchase and we all ended up buying them at the bar to complement the food. Overall a great experience!

Sunset Boat Tour - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book this trip and never look back. My wife and I went on the sunset cruise and had an incredible time. It was really cool to ride along the rugged coast to the port of Pasaia. The hosts were wonderful, thoughtful, and genuine. Someone mentioned that they thought of every little detail and their response was “we treat our guests the way we would want to be treated.” 10/10 recommend, and sipping cava in the bay during sunset is a nice cherry on top.

Pintxo & Gonzalo !!!

This was a most excellent tour. Gonzalo was more than you could ask for. He brought us to several excellent pintxo spots, historical places, told us funny stories and the history of the food, area and places around San Sebastián. I give him top notch for the tour and especially his personality !!

Alby was an excellent guide. The moderate hike was not at all as described. It was difficult. Given the heat, the steep grades and uneven ground, it was hard for us. Lunch was excellent and the time at the Guggenheim and in Bilbao was appropriate. Would do again. Time well spent.

Excellent Pixtxo Tour in San Sebastian

We had a great evening and delicious pintxos on our tour. Sebastian was a fun and engaging guide. He worked hard to provide gluten free options to a member of our party when he could. We tried and loved things we would never have ordered on our own. This was a really good way to experience one of the unique foods and drinks of San Sebastián!

Great Tour Despite the Weather!

We had a fantastic bike tour with Albi. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Her passion for the city was evident, and she shared interesting stories, local insights, and historical information that made the tour both fun and informative. Unfortunately, it poured rain for nearly the entire ride, which was beyond anyone's control. Despite the weather, Albi remained positive, energetic, and professional throughout. She kept everyone's spirits up and made sure we still had a great experience. Even with the rain, this was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour and especially Albi as a guide!

Interesting Tour of three Towns

A wonderful way to see and learn about the rich history of these three towns near the French border. Gilles provides a substantial amount of history and present day insight into everything we saw during this excellent tour. We are very glad to have had the experience. Even the short boat ride across the river was memorable. It was also good that we had a bit of time to ourselves as well where we could enjoy a little something at a local bar. Gilles was also very good about a smooth drive up and down the mountain switchbacks. It was an enjoyable morning.

La Rioja wines and Laguardia tour from San Sebastian

Katherine_L, Oct 2025

Worth it!

Know that it takes about 2 hours each way San Sebastian - La Rioja. Wine portions at the wineries were more than I've ever had on any wine tour elsewhere in the world! Snacks were substantial portions of local foods. Lunch in La Guardia was regional food at a small restaurant on their terrace. All the food and wine was great. Our driver, Diego, was a nice local guy who readily answered all questions about Spain, Basque culture, and the area. We toured in October so it was great to see the harvest process.

Getaria Txakoli wine tour from San Sebastian

SharonL_M, Sep 2025

Fantastic Experience

We had an amazing day with Ana on the Getaria & txakoli tour from San Sebastián. Ana was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel so personal - from sharing the history of Getaria to introducing us to the traditions of txakoli winemaking. We completely fell in love with the charm of Getaria and even went back on our own before leaving the Basque Country. We can't wait for a return trip! Highly recommend this tour - it was a highlight of our trip!
