It was a great experience to visit and learn about the 3 villages outside of San Sebastián. The day trip was fun and the guide, Iker, was very knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and answered any question anybody had. The trip was well worth the price…the views in the 3 villages were amazing!

A beautiful day exploring the Basque coast

Scott_E, Mar 2026
Eider was a fantastic guide! She was knowledgeable, personable and FUN and she made a point of tailoring our tour to our interests. The places we explored were beautiful and she really brought them to life for us with her knowledge and personal insights. We honestly could not be happier and can’t say enough good things about both her and the tour itself.

Great tour

Very explanatory about region. Friendly and helpful. Enjoyed seeing the little towns and a chance to wander.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks Helen! Hope we get to cross paths again soon.

Great day in the rain

Michael_B, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful day despite the rain. We were picked up on time and we shared the tour with lovely people who enjoyed themselves also. A guide was suberb given the weather we had. He was a wealth of knowledge and brought us to all the right places and explained the history to us. The highlight of our tour was our visit to Zumaia and the Flesch 64 million years of history and also featured in movie Game Of Thrones. It’s well worth a visit.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Great to know everything was to your liking Michael!

5 stars

Daniel_C, Jul 2025
We had a great tour with Paul who was very knowledgeable of Getaria and extremely friendly and polite, thank you!

Great coastal tour

Robin_M, Jul 2025
We were picked up by our tour guide, Iker, for a beautiful coastal drive. His passion for the area shines through with his commentary providing us with historical facts and general information. We learned the significance of Elkano as he was the first to complete the around the world journey. We loved seeing the vineyards and costal views. Iker was the perfect tour guide enriching us with all kinds of information. This tour allowed us to see the beautiful area just west of San Sebastián and is highly recommended.

Paul is a star

benjamin_f, Jul 2025
Paul was great. Interesting throughout, great balance of information and just enjoying the sights. Tour of 3 locations that would otherwise never know of but are so fascinating in their own right

10/10 recommend this tour

Ana_E, Jun 2025
Our tour guide Paul was the best. At first I thought the tour was going to be canceled because there weren’t as many people signed up but even with 5 we managed to go. Paul made everyone feel welcomed and answered every question and explained a bit of the history of the places we visited, each one better than the next! The tour is short and intense. If we had more time, we could definitely see more! But we got a taste of San Sebastián! Totally recommend. Paul even gave us tips on where to go to next for lunch or tapas! Great guy.

A Memorable and Insightful Tour of San Sebastián

Tuba_A, Jun 2025
Our driver was polite, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely thoughtful. He shared fascinating historical insights and offered excellent tips for exploring Old Town, including great dining recommendations. The places we visited were stunning, and we took plenty of memorable photos. It was an unforgettable tour—I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience a richer and more enjoyable side of San Sebastián.

The tour was really...

Denis_K, May 2025
The tour was really interesting and the guide very pleasant. The coast is truly rich in landscape. 👍

Definitely a must do in a half day at San Sebastian.

Sergio_M, Mar 2025
The views, the history and the safety are absolutely amazing during this trip. Iker, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny and a great host. He takes pride in showing you around his town and neighboring towns. Nice, clean and comfortable van too. Wait to see the view at the end of this trip…

Various views of the three coastal towns. Coffee on the beach, a treat for us from our tour guide! The gorgeous landscapes, steep cliffs, green, green pastures, mixed with the magnificent beaches.

Off the beaten Track “at the coast”

Great way to see some of the beautiful villages outside San Sebastián.

Danuta_K, Jun 2023
A very enjoyable tour of three very diverse and steeped in history regions of the Basque Country. The tour guide was very knowledgable and personable and shared interesting stories with the group adding to a memorable excursion experience.

Hidden gem in Spain

Angela_F, Sep 2022
We had a great tour guide. She was very well informed and took us to some very beautiful and interesting spots. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely will recommend this tour to friends and family. What a beautiful area of Spain. Thank you !

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you for the comment! We are glad you enjoyed the tour and the guide!

Intelligent contracting of tour operators

Laura_I, Mar 2026
Wonderful places visited. We were struck by the attitude of the guide Íker Fernandez, because frankly he did not listen to us, even my husband asked to stand on the sign that said Zumaya because it was his mother’s name and simply ignored us. Instead the girl who accompanied him Estitxu charming and very helpful. I think that if Iker had been collaborative with the group and not only with the couple of Spaniards traveling, our walking experience would have been totally different.
