San Sebastián was a beautiful city to see. San Juan was also incredible. Our tour guide, Lur, was incredibly friendly, approachable and humourous!
The trip to San Juan was amazing, the guide was fine , it was a very large group approx 50 , but we split up in San Sebastián into English & spainish speaking . The guided walk in San Sebastián is very short and only gives a few historical stories. A nice trip
We decided to walk to the church in San Juan de Gaztelugatxe to get the full experience of being in a Game of Thrones shooting location. Tiring but exhilarating! Tour of San Sebastián gave us a glimpse of the place, with just enough time to have lunch or Pintxos and cold beers.
Large group with no way to follow or hear the guide. Would have helped to have Whispers and/or a flag to make it a better experience. And then to also know ahead of time how much walking would be required to plan for wearing comfortable shoes. Sights were beautiful though. Could have included more in San Sebastian though.
San Sebastian is beautiful! Definitely worth seeing if you're in the Basque country. I wouldn't recommend this particular trip. The stop at San Juan De Gaztelugatxe was after San Sebastian, in the hottest part of the day. Our guide led us down 'the long way' which was a steep dirt and gravel road, much longer than the normal route, that we took on the way back (which is pavers). He didn't allow enough time for us to make it to the top, but some people went anyway, causing us to arrive back to Bilabo 45 minutes late. Our bus was full, nearly 70 people, with two language groups combined. This made the tour of San Sebastian unnecessarily slow, as the guide repeated everything twice. This company does not use headsets, so nearly 70 people had to crowd around to try to hear him. It felt unorganized and overly crowded. Take a bus to San Sebastian on your own and enjoy this lovely little town!
it’s a worthwhile day trip out of bilbao to san juan de gaztelugatxe and san sebastián. one thing to note when you visit san juan de gaztelugatxe is you need proper shoes with soles that have a grip as you descend and ascend stone stairs that can be slippery. also it’s not an easy walk to see the church so you’ll need to take your time and bring water. lastly pay attention when you return as several people miss the right turn back up the stairs that you initially descended. san sebastián was pretty city but i felt i could spend 2 hours and saw what i needed.
What breath taking views and it was nice to learn about Spanish history. Overall I’ve been very pleased with Viator services.
San Sebastian was very nice . We had a great time . Excelente trip and a fabulous guide 5 stars nice whether no rain
Punctual
Informative
recommandabel
Not enough private time in San Sebastián
Maybe handout map center San Sebastián specially for people not familiar with traveling and not done own research when mentioning tips where to go.
Weird to ask not to leave negatives on a review as it is constructive feedback to help your business get even better as it already is
It was a very nice trip, the places visited were beautiful, the driver and the guide very well, fantastic experience!!
Our tour guide did not speak english. I have paid for an english tour. I want to be reimbursed. I already sent a long list of issues to you.

Dear Guy,
We're sorry to hear that this trip didn't reach your expectations.
We can't guarantee a bilingual guide unless there's a minumum English speakers participants which wasn't the case.
The tour was done as schudule visiting every place we offer.
Kind regards.
My expectations about the experience would be higher. A few historical was tranmited with a poor dynamic, by the guide. Adding to this the weather was terrible, raining a lot and the guide won’t find a solution to help us in that situation. I don’t recomend this experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
We are deeply sorry for your bad experience with the Tour. We will take notice of your thougths and we will try to correct it. Our guides are well prepared in the itinerary.
Hoping we can have you in our activities in the future.

The up and down hike to San Juan was quite a work out! Enjoyed the walking tour of San Sebastián, plenty of history and sea side to enjoy.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thanks for giving us your feedback and cheering the team! We hope you to have you back with us in your trips and enjoy with our tours around the

The
Tour guide did not have a microphone and was hard
To hear him. He should advice individuals of other options versus taking walk down to church.

Gaztelugatze was strenuous for us as 60+ year olds, but it was an experience. Bermeo and Gernica surprised us with how beautiful these towns are.
Auto-translated
Climbing to the hermitage requires medium-high physical preparation, because the time is also timed; on my excursion some people did not make it to the bus and were left behind... they should warn about it in the program, our guide Pedro warned us, and he did a very good job. Another improvement could be the organization of time, we went very, very fast, we could barely see Bermeo and the same for Mundaka. Either you had a drink or you saw the cathedral, both things were impossible
Auto-translated
San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is worth it even if you need to be in excellent physical shape: 1200m of elevation gain in 800m. In my opinion I would skip Mundaka and also Gernika. Beautiful Bermeo but little time to stay there.

It is essential to wear the best footwear you have for trekking and to be physically prepared, as the ascents and descents are very steep.

Dire experience. 7 December 2025.
Change the order of the itinerary. Visit wineries in the early hours when the stipulated was at the end of the excursion. Most of us were fasting (bad for a wine tasting). But the worst was the lack of professionalism in the explanations and information of the places to visit. We were a group of grown-ups who were treated like kindergartens. Not to mention that two of the attendants were dropped off at one of the stops (they had to catch the train until the next stop). Little seriousness on the part of Viator when selling us a 69€ product in these conditions.
Auto-translated
To highlight that the trip has been great and that the guide improved the experience much more. We went with a visually impaired person and were able to make the trip normally, without being left behind. I recommend it.

The tour was very good. Timely and efficient. Your guide Aitor very nice and responsible for the group. On my part the recommendation is less talk and more travel, because at least in Bermeo the possibility of walking 15 minutes is very little. Germika too. I think the lunch recommendation should also consider time to explore the Mundaka, as the recommended restaurant took too long to bring the food and that makes it impossible to explore the sites.

Good experience but we finished it an hour and a half early which I think lacked time in some town as it became too run. Stefan's guide very attentive all day and answering everything you asked
