All round Excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Lots of interesting history about the city.
Highly recommend taking this walking tour of San Sebastián with guide Pello. Very knowledgeable about the history.
This tour is a great introduction to San Sebastián. Our guide, Pello, brought the history of the city to life as we walked around and saw a few of the major sights and Old City. I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to visit the city.
Excellent tour guide. Pello was passionate and knowledgeable about San Sebastián, Spanish and Basque history. As a small group guided tour it was a fantastic way to learn about San Sebastian.
Pello was a wonderful guide who knew so much about Sans Sebastián especially seeing as though he is a local.
TOP, our guide Pello was vero nice and very city expert and also culture spanish.
we will raccomanded your guide to our friends.
Very interesting to hear about the history of the town. Not too far to walk but saw a lot. Very informative.
The best tour that we have had in Spain so far! We learned a lot about the whole region, San Sebastián, and the towns nearby
Very nice walk with a lot of information. Not only about the buildings, squares or landmarks but also about the history of the city and the Bask country to put things in a broader perspective. Pello our guide took his time and made it a great 1,5 hour! We had the luxury to be the only two participants so we had basically a private tour.
Very brief and primarily in old town but well done and helped us enjoy the remainder of our stay. Our guide was adorable and answered all of our questions welll
This is a terrific introduction to the beautiful city of San Sebastián. It takes you along part of the La Concha beach promenade, around the old town, ensanche (extension), and the adjacent neoclassical "romantic district." An enjoyable overview of this very romantic city.
Easy walking tour without hills or steps. Our tour guide, Helena, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She added interesting stories to every historical building and to every historical fact. Helena was able to recommend many restaurants, Michelin, restaurants, details about various architectural styles in the city, And the celebration of several important holidays that correspond with historical dates. She was cheerful and entertaining during the entire walking tour.
Nice overview of the city with a very informative and friendly guide. Good recommendations for food and wine
Very nice tour, just long enough and an overview of the history of this beautiful town. Pleased with our guide as well. We love doing these tours to get a better feel for where we are visiting.
Great way to get the layout and history of the city. Guide was excellent. Highly recommend to do at the beginning of your visit
Young guide with full knowledge of the area both historically and currently. Fun tour of all the current happening places and their history.
After the tour our guide referred us to several places to explore further
My wife and I met up with Helena outside the City Hall, 5 mins before the tour started. There was only 1 other group booked on, but they had cancelled so it was just the 2 of us.
Helena was great, she provided lots of information about San Sebestian, inckuding the best Pinchos places to try. Her english is very good.
The walk lasts about 90 mins,
highly recommended.
We had a great time and learned a lot about the city. The guide is very knowledgeable and helpful. The history of San Sebastián is so much, 90 minutes is just for the surface.
Descubre focuses on small group tours, and we wound up with a very small group for a 10am tour (just my wife and I)! Helena was a knowledgeable guide, answered all of our questions, and made recommendations for pintxos! Her English is very good. It took probably 90 minutes in total, and the walking was all on flat ground and covered about 1.5 km (a little under a mile).
It was a wonderful experience
Elena showed us an old part of San Sebastián
We learned a lot of history
Perfect English and great personality
Even with a rainy weather we had a lot of fun
Elena was terrific! Her tour was small and very detailed and informative. She answered all of our questions and her energy was spectacular! We could not recommend her her tour groups enough. They are small and respect the locals & their culture.
What a great tour! We all loved the small group experience and enjoyed getting to know more about San Sebastián. Highly recommend!
My family enjoyed the tour of San Sebastian with Helen. She was a great guide. We learned so much about the city and had a wonderful time! She was very knowledgeable and personable!
Elena was very professional, knew a lot of history of San senastian. If you have a choice of guides, I would recommend Elena
Our guide was personable and shared her knowledge and experiences of the history/ culture of old town in a fun way. It was nice being in a small group of 8 doing this walking tour. Highly recommend.
Helena was a wonderful guide. She summarized the history of this beautiful place very well as we walked through various sections of the town . She highlighted why the Basque region has its own language and has maintained its strong identity within Spain. A very well rounded presentation. Highly recommend it.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and generous with the information she shared. The duration of the tour was perfect - an hour and a half. Would recommend for English speakers!
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of San Sebastián, and we owe much of that to our wonderful guide, Helena. From the moment the tour started, Helena impressed us with her deep historical knowledge of the city and the Basque region. Her passion for the area's rich culture and history truly brought San Sebastián to life for us.
The scenic views we encountered were simply breathtaking, and Helena knew exactly where to take us for the best photo opportunities. She also had amazing recommendations for pintxos, and every place she suggested was spot on—we enjoyed some of the most delicious bites we've ever had!
What made the tour even more special was how Helena went above and beyond to accommodate my pregnant wife. Helena was incredibly considerate, ensuring we took a brief bathroom break when needed without missing a beat in the tour. Her friendly and accommodating nature made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience.
If you're visiting San Sebastián, I can't recommend this tour—and especially Helena—highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
Helena was a lovely guide through this fabulous city and provided a useful commentary on the history. Might need to fact check some of the historical royalty references (different stories told to signage we found later) but a good tour nonetheless
Our Guide was really great! A lot of intersstung details about the city! Would book the tour definitely again!
