My enjoyment in what I do is noticeable and infectious. I lean toward smaller gatherings for a more intimate setting and a unique experience.

Very interesting and informative walk around the old town with an engaging guide - This was an excellent guided walk around the old town with a small group. The walk took around 2 hours to complete. The guide (Francisco) is engaging and talked about the history and culture of the town and the wider Basque region. As we walked Francisco also talked about the food and drink culture of the town and recommended restaurants and specialities in different areas of the town. This was a great introduction to the town. I highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing tour that set me up to continue enjoying San Sebastián to the fullest - Francisco was an amazing tour guide. He has a deep knowledge of the gastro culture and the history of the city. He made sure that everyone was taken care of and was going at a good pace. After the tour, I took all his recommendations for things to do, food to try, and how to order pintxos which made the next few days glorious. He gave a crash course in how to do San Sebastián, which I especially appreciated because it ended up raining the whole trip so my plans to go to the beach, snorkel, or hike was replaced by my own food, wine, and cider tour along with a museum trip. Highly recommend!

Intro to San Sebastián/Donostia - The walking tour of the Old City quarter gave us a nice introduction to the beautiful city of San Sebastián. Fanny provided the historical foundation which helped us understand its modern transformation. She also pointed out a few of her favorite pintxos bars on the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

History lesson in two hours! - Fanny was very warm and friendly. I was the only participant so she really took the time to find out what I wanted to know. She is very knowledgeable and gave me a very good historic overview of 800 years in two hours!!

Lucky to have found Fanny - We scheduled a last minute walking tour with Fanny and could not have been luckier that she was available. She was delightful and most of all her knowledge of San Sebastián was amazing like a history lesson taught to us by a life long friend. Her command of the English language was perfect and as a French teacher clearly speaks many languages perfectly.
My only regret was that our tour with her ended after 2 hours as planned, but all good things come to an end. Look for her availability for an insightful and wonderful walking tour of San Sebastián and the history of this Basque region.
