Paolo did a great job as a tour guide. He was pleasant and knowledgeable about the areas on the tour. However, the bikes unfortunately were not maintained the way they should. In the first mile or so two guests had flat tires from worn tire tread. A third guest had a problem with his as well. If the place maintained their bicycles, a bit better it would be rich better experience.

Hola, we are glad to know you enjoyed it with Paulo and very glad your bike did not got any issue. Since all you mentioned it is from others. The puncture were because of cristal of the tire. We can not control cristal on the street. Yes, 2 puncture at the same time bad luck. Glad it was not yours. saying it is our fault. 3rd bike, if you press and off bottom off the batery, how is gonna work the enegien???

Thanks so much for yor review. and very glad you enjoyed it
Great way to see the city with a guide Getting to hear all the history & meet people Guide was great

thanks
This was an awesome way to see and learn about San Sebastián. Our guide, Jake, was incredible; he taught us so much about the culture and history of this city and even taught us some Basque! After the tour, he sent us an extensive list of recommendations; some of his recs ended up being our favorite spots in San Sebastián. Riding a bike in this city is a pretty smooth experience as there are lots of bike lanes and after building up our confidence on this tour, we ended up biking around San Sebastián for the rest of our stay. Would highly recommend this experience!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thanks so much for your review. Best wishes. And very glad you had fun with Jake. Hope you enjoy the suggestions, too.
This was a great tour because of our guide Jake. He was very knowledgeable and funny, and showed us interesting cultural and historical points of interest while keeping the tour fun and entertaining. He was generous with his time and really went above and beyond in answering our questions, giving great recommendations for things to do and places to eat, and generally making us all appreciate everything San Sebastián offers. Highly recommend this tour with Jake.

Hey, thanks so much for your words, Very gad to know you had fun with Jake
Jacob was an extremely engaging, entertaining & knowledgeable tour guide, I would highly recommend this tour. The sights worth visiting & covered an extensive part of the city
Julan is somebody who knows how to relate to most people. At first glance I didn’t see that he would be as knowledgeable as he was and soon discovered that Basque is his true heritage.
Julan, you know how to generally connect with the young and old. We had a wonderful experience and learnt so much about your Basque Country, thank you for sharing your open minded persona with us, you were great.
Thank you for sharing this with us
Response from Host, Sept 2026

Guide was excellent, I’d recommend.

Perfect way to explore the city to kick off your trip. San Sebastian is beautiful by bike and this tour orients you to the town perfectly. The guide was friendly, fun and shared all the interesting history.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
thank you so much for your feedback
Highly recommended to give you a perspective of the City. You should do on day 1 of your trip. Great guide.

My sister and I did a bike tour in San Sebastián with Tarik, and we had such a great time. It was a fun, easy way to see a lot of the city without feeling rushed.
One of the things we loved most was being able to cover so much more ground than we would have on a walking tour. On the bikes, we got to see areas that were a little farther out and places we probably would not have made it to on foot.
Tarik was a great guide and made the tour really enjoyable. We learned a lot, saw so much of San Sebastián, and had a lot of fun along the way.
We both really enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend a bike tour here. It was one of our favorite ways to see the city.

It was my first time riding a bike in a very long time, and I was nervous, but in the end it was my favorite experience San Sebastián! Our tour guide Julien was wonderful! He was funny, knowledgeable, and came back for three of us when we caught a red light and separated from the group. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sept 2026

Response from Host, Sept 2026

Julien was fantastic. He had si much to share with us about the city, its past and present. Great sense of humor and just plain fun.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thanks
Everything was rushed
One guest asked for help/instructions for the electric bike and the guide said that he would work it out as we go along!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
INteresting....if we go slow becuase too slow, if we go fast because too fast. a lot of time customers book a biketour and they havent ridden a bike in years.
Fun tour with e-bikes. Got to see most of San Sebastian in only a few hours! Good quality bikes for the ride.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
thanks
Honestly we had done the free walking tour the day before and it covered all the same information. The tour guide the day before was local and had a lot more energy. I would have skipped this knowing that. We got off and talked for long periods of times, I wish we would have done more biking.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Sorry for your dissapointed, Next time read carefully what we offer. We have been doing this for so long and customer like it alot. So I believe this is not our fault so giving a review is not necessary. Of course you are free for write....and this is your text message...
Hello, my name is Allie. We had a tour today and I must admit I’m quite disappointed. I thought it was more biking opposed to riding and hopping off every couple hundred meters to talk about the town. I plan to leave a bad review because in all honesty, a free Walking tour offers the same exact thing and if we want to rent bikes it’s much more affordable than to pay €150 for two adults and an infant which is absurd. I will hold back my poor review if we can get a 50% refund please consider it. Thank you.
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.

We enjoyed our bike tour with Carlos very much! We got to see many parts of the city that we otherwise would not have seen. Carlos was friendly, kind, and patient. We appreciated him very much.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So glad to read this. Thanks to take your time to leave this kindly words.
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.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Very enjoyable tour with Carlos who gave a great history of the city and took his time with our family.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks
Great way to learn about San Sebastian. Fun to get around in an e-bike, our guide knew all the little nuances.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thaankssss.
My advice is to do this tour as soon as you can after arriving in San Sebastián! It was a fabulous insight into the area, Basque culture and language.
My sister (a slightly nervous rider) and I thoroughly enjoyed the ebike tour with Jake - the riding was on dedicated bike lanes so we felt safe, we were offered helmets (mandatory to ride in Australia with helmets), we were given clear instructions and kept up to date time wise.
Jake was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge to share and he did it in an entertaining way which kept the group engaged throughout. He also managed to keep it together with several languages catered for despite the tour being advertised in English.
One of the best tours we’ve done on our trip so far and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Excellent tour, guide very knowledgeable but in an entertaining way. E-bikes were perfect for seeing all around the city.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks
Jake is awesome! So knowledgeable and loves his job! Cute sense of humor. Would definitely recommend!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for your review. So glad to know you had a good time,
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.
Best way to see an overview of San Sebastián for first timers.I recommend you do this on your first day here.My wife and I are not bikers but the e-bikes are easy to use and the young lady who guided us was great.Informative ,patient and friendly.
Thanks , we thoroughly enjoyed the tour!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your review. Very glad you enjoyed the tour and e-bikes were helpful.
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
