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
LAWRENCE_H, May 2026
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.

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.
Joseph_B, Jul 2025
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).

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.

Wendy_E, May 2025
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.
Dorothy_M, Oct 2024
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.
Isabel_E, Oct 2024
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!
Aaron_M, Sep 2024
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!
Murray_P, Aug 2024
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
Sofia_G, Jul 2024
Our Guide was really great! A lot of intersstung details about the city! Would book the tour definitely again!

La amabilidad de Helena nuestra guía, las referencias históricas y que fue un grupo reducido, permitiéndonos hacer preguntas e ir a nuestro ritmo.
