If you want to know about the city, beyond the touristy casco viejo, this tour is for you.
We had a great tour guide Andoni, who was attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.
We visited the city at the time of the marathon, so a lot of streets were closed. He reached out ahead of time and rearranged the time of the tour to the afternoon, which was very helpful.
It is a beautiful city, which has a lot to offer. Be prepared to walk a lot, which is totally worth it!
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Great experience! Our knowledgeable guide, Noni, gave us history and cultural information about San Sebastián and the Bask region.

Perfect private tour. Andoni picked us up from our hotel promptly. We drove to the Comb of the Wind Sculptures and Mount Igueldo. Following this, we returned to the Old Town and walked the sights. Andoni was polite, knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. Recommend 100%.

This was an excellent tour with a wonderful tour guide. Andoni picked us up at our hotel and took us to a beautiful lookout in San Sebastian. He gave us a great overview of the city and then took us on a walking tour as well. We learned so much from our tour and even stopped for some delicious "pintxos". Andoni gave us so many great suggestions. This was such a great introduction to the Basque country. Highly recommend this experience.

A perfect introduction to San Sebastián. Gorka was an amazing guide. We went to every vantage point of the city for photos. He gave us great historical insights on the city, the history of the Basque and the region. He let us know where to go, what to eat, local drinks and Basque pronunciation pointers. He was personable, smart and informative. 5 Stars!

Our guide, LUIS, picked us up at the hotel in his vehicle and drove us to key points in San Sebastian (too far to walk from Old Town) for amazing views and photo opportunities while describing the history of the city and when it became an important tourist and summer destination for Spanish high society. We started in Monte Igueldo, drove down to sea level for an up-close look at Eduardo Chillida iconic art work at the West end of Bahia de la Concha, then to Zurriola 'surfing' Beach and many points in between. This is a great way get a general sense of this amazing city. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the view from Monte Igueldo of the bay, the summer palace of Queen Maria Cristina, the port and the town of San Sebastián. Our guide, Andoni, was very knowledgeable of the history of the town and the monarchy - all fascinating to learn. The visit through old town, the market, historical buildings and churches was also very interesting. We highly recommend our guide, Andoni!

Andoni took my wife and I on a wonderful private tour of the beautiful city of San Sebastián. He grew up in the town and provided us with great history of the city. Great viewpoints by car and walking tour. Andoni was also so very helpful in arranging private tours and transport throughout the Basque region. Andoni is so nice and speaks perfect English. We very strongly recommend this tour.

Perfect way to spend 3 hours…getting to know so much history of San Sebastián and seeing many beautiful sights! Luis was a fabulous Guide…picked us up right on time and took us all over the city from the heights of Mount Urgell down to the streets of Old Town.
We highly recommend this Tour - great way to get your bearings and to learn about the different areas of Town. Even with rainy/windy conditions we enjoyed our time with Luis!

Buen recorrido, me parece que fue demasiado tiempo en auto y el recorrido a pie fue algo acelerado con explicacion por debajo de lo esperado. Pero no demerita el esfuerzo del guía…
