We very much enjoyed our 3 hour tour of San Sebastian with Carlos. He had excellent English and shared his enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of the city with us. He also provided interesting cultural context and recommendations. We saw a lot of the city too - great choice of route. We would definitely recommend.

Not a good experience

Joyce_W, May 2026

Our guide Carlos was late as he was called last minute to do the tour. He didnt give us any instructions on how to use the ebike. My bike had an error and wasn't functioning with power so i was lagging way behind and he didnt turn around to make sure his group was safe. When we finally stopped he was very defensive and thought i didnt’t know how to ride when in fact it was the bicycle with the issue. He said the recent rain causes problems, this was not an acceptable reason. Why are the bikes stored outside in the rain? The store did bring a new bike for me which also had issues with power but I made it to the end. . Carlo did show us many beautiful spots which he explained thoroughly. We were thirsty and no water was available thru the tour, we had to stop and buy it. The tour went over 3 hours, longer than expected. I would not recommend this tour company.

Started our trip right with this amazing overview.Beautiful area and great way to see it!

If you like riding a bike and touring a city with a guide who can present great information (history, restaurants, drinks) while making it fun at the same time, then you shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
