This tour was one of the highlights of our 17 day trip to Spain! The Basque country is beautiful! Everything we saw was just amazing! We particularly liked San Sebastion; awesome in every way! Great food there too! The fortified city of Hondarribia is super-interesting and Gitaria is very picturesque. Our tour guide, Pedro A, was fantastic; super knowledgeable and informative with a great personality and sense of humor! I highly recommend this experience!!!!

We had a great day exploring San Sebastián and the other towns that we stopped off at. Our guide Aiter was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and he gave us great tips about where to eat in our free time in San Sebastián. We had great conversations with him through out the day. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting this area.

David_M, Sep 2025
Useful for having a coach tour through the local countryside but not very good value for money. Tour guide “Wallace” was not very organised - three different tours meeting at the same (pick up) point with no signs to assist us find the right one. We then had to walk a distance to get on the coach - more wasted time. We spent 90 minutes on our coach before our guide spoke to announce the first stop. There was no background info as we journeyed through the countryside. The main stop was supposed to be San Sebastián but this was also disappointing. The first part was a drive to the “castle” view point for a photo shoot. This did provide good views / photos of the main beach area on a nice sunny day but the second part was a waste of time. We were dropped off at the local bus station which is some way from the beach areas. It’s also very congested for meeting up again as a group to board the bus. Our last stop was at Getaria was good, smaller place but plenty of cafes. It would have been a better lunch stop for our trip.
This tour was ok for getting around this part of the countryside but we didn’t learn much from our guide. We thought we had signed up for an English speaking tour but it also included Spanish speakers and the continual interchange was exhausting over the course of the day.
My advice is find a different tour operator and choose a single language tour if you can.

Pamela_M, Sep 2025
Our guide Pedro had to manage nearly 50 people, in two languages. While he did a good job and told us good information, it meant standing around, losing time in cities while he addressed the other group, hard to hear him at the back of the bus. Need two guides. Need more time in Hondaribbia and skip Getaria.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Pamela!
We’re truly sorry that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations, especially due to the issue with the air conditioning. We really appreciate your kind words about our guide Pedro — he’ll be very happy to hear them. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you again on a future tour.

This full-day trip was wonderful! Our tour guide (Dani) was excellent, particularly in providing good commentary in both English and Spanish. On another day tour, we had an issue with the tour guide focusing very much on the local language, leaving English speakers shortchanged.
The tour highlight was San Sebastian, where we saw much of the city, but were given lots of time to find our own food. Don't miss the cheesecake from La Vina or the pintxos from La Cuchara - there will be plenty of time to get both.

This tour is mostly useful for the transportation to the multiple destinations. I wouldn’t do it again and would prefer to just use the local, frequent, cheaper bus to San Sebastián. The extra 2 stops added a little bit. The guide’s explanations weren’t very useful and were hard to follow. It was also 1 guide explaining each thing in Spanish first, then English so English speakers end up waiting around a long time at each stop for the Spanish to wrap up, whereas Spanish speakers could hear the speech and then were free to explore.

Wallace was a great guide, providing great amount of information with a funny spin that is rare to find in guides.
Keep in mind that this tour is unclear where to meet whereas their other tours (Guernica) are clearer to meet at Puppy statue. I highly recommend BuenDia tours fixing this issue.

Great value well organised trip.
1. The pick up point is actually the flower puppy I front of the Guggenheim -66 is the tourist kiosk.
2. The walking tours aren’t compulsory but without them you will need a great deal of prior knowledge or Apple Maps
3. The final stop could easily be dispensed with when you have already done 2 and most people are tired
4. The toilet stop on the way out 20 mins from the first destination is superfluous
5. Good knowledgeable guides - would be better not to have had mixed Spanish & English group but it worked but was glad to split in San Sebastián.
6. I did 14000 steps just by doing the walking tours and basic stuff in free time- you need a good level of mobility to do this tour

We had a clear day, which always helps, but the tour was very good, all the stops are beautiful and with enough time to give you an idea of the site. The guide, Haman, very nice, his explanations were very entertaining and interesting, it was very nice to talk to him. The bus ride very comfortable, driver Santi was super punctual. I recommend sitting on the right side.
