Brilliant tour with Dave. He was so well organised and had pictures to complement his talk. His passion for Donostia comes through and we found the whole tour extremely interesting and useful. We followed up on his recommendations afterwards for Pintxos, Pastel Vasco and Ice Cream. Excelente!

This tour is a must to enrich your experience. Dave provides context to everything from the terrain and the architecture to the street art, and the dining scene explaining the history and life of Donostia with clarity and enthusiasm. His magic book of images and maps is very helpful. Highly recommend doing this your first day to help plan the rest. His recommendations on restaurants, pintxo bars, ice cream and the true Pastel Basque are much appreciated.

Great tour that was very extensive and well paced. He gave us an amazing gelato recommendation and spot to eat; both were spot on best gelato and dining we experienced while in San Sebastián. If you are looking for a tour of the city and suggestions of other things to do this is a must!

Dave was an excellent tour guide who provided super interesting background on San Sebastián’s history and current day culture. We saw a variety of sites and enjoyed learning about this fascinating town. Dave had a prepared program and was always happy to address our questions. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to learn more than can be found online or in guidebooks.

Guide Dave was on time and extremely prepared with a notebook of pictures to support his oral presentation. He led the walk at a good pace, always giving full historical details and answering questions. I learned so much and appreciated his clear and honest answers.
