Discover the History, Highlights & Hidden Stories of San Sebastián. Perfect for first-time visitors, this small-group walking tour helps you understand San Sebastián, not just see it. We'll explore the historic heart of the city, uncovering the people and events that shaped the city you see today.

Best way to see San Sebastián.

Julian was an amazing guide and a bike tour is a must to see more than just the old town of San Sebastián. It was my first time on an e-bike, but it won’t be my last! Super fun tour with lots of interesting information about history, art, food, and architecture.

Excellent Basque Market and Cooking Experience

Carlos was an excellent teacher! We learned so many great tricks and a lot of information in addition to the recipes. The class was fun and involved everyone. Carlos was wonderful to fix some of our errors without ever making anyone feel uncomfortable. The food was amazing and a very good overview of Basque cooking. I would recommend this class and market visit!

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!

Do It

This boat tour is a great way to see the eastern Pais Basco coast. Captain is very friendly and fun and gave us plenty of information about San Sebastian and Passaia to supplement the narrated portion of the trip. All in all, this 2.5 hour boat trip is a fantastic way to spend the evening on a trip to San Sebastian.

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...

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!

Exceptional must do food tour

We try and do a food tour in every city but this one has excelled ! So easy to be confused as to where to hit first without a guide so this tour was excellent. Andre effortlessly guided us to 5 bars reserved tables for pintxos and matched with cider and exceptional local Basque wines . We almost had a private tour as only one other couple so fabulous to chat. Each pintxos has a history and were thoughtfully prepared to highlight the product - local cheese / ham / octopus/ fish/ anchovies , we had the best of it all. Andrea explained each region and their specialty so we learnt so much !! Thanks ao much Andrea we loved the tour and the company as well !

Deborah_S, May 2026

What a truly gastronomic experience in San Sebastián.

Amazing way to discover the best Pintxos in San Sebastián and to learn about the fantastic culture and the important history. Our guide, Clara, was hugely informative, wonderfully empathic and very engaging-we really feel blessed that we were in such awesome hands every step of the way. The food was delicious and the accompanying drinks perfectly matched. And the experience is one we’ll treasure.

Getaria Txakoli wine tour from San Sebastian

Michelle_F, Oct 2025

Josu made our day

Josu was our guide and he had so much knowledge. He took us through several seaside towns and told us lots of stories and history. We went to a beautiful Txakoli vineyard. Mónica showed us how it was made, bottled, and stored. We had tastings in 2 locations on the vineyard and both had breathtaking views! On the way back we connected with Josu on music and had a fun time listening to each others favorite songs. I would definitely do this tour again and if you get Josu you are in for a great time!
