Great Guide - Maria, was excellent, knowledgable, good fun and friendly. She did not rush us and indeed gave us more time than we had booked. A lovely lady, a great guide and a pleasure to spend time with.

Historical Experience - Jose Manuel Corpus was articulate and detailed in his delivery in English. He was very informed about San Sebastián, knowing all the historical facts about the region. I throughly enjoyed my 4 hour tour, worth the time.

Individualized tour with personable guide José Manuel - Guide José Manuel provided a truly “custom” tour, answering all my questions about history, current events, and best places to eat! Including a recommendation for a great vegetarian spot, Mapa Verde—those are not super-easy to find in San Sebastián so very much appreciated. He also ended the tour at the exact spot to start the hike up Mt. Urguell instead of back at the original meeting spot when he learned this hike was next on my agenda—this flexibility to make the tour fit the visitor was great!

Time Well Spent - Our tour with guide José Manuel was excellent. For personal reasons beyond our control, we had to take this tour at the end of our three days in San Sebastián instead of the beginning and it would have added a lot more texture to the visit if we would have had the benefit of José‘s tremendous historical knowledge and tips earlier. That said, the tour began just as a local regatta was ending and La Concha Beach and the Old Town were packed with revelers from all the towns that competed. It was very fun and José was instrumental in explaining the background of that particular event as well as the history of the Basque region and the wonderful city of San Sebastián.

Historical discovery of San Sebastian - Beautiful discovery of the old town of its history. It is interesting to be able to climb the heights of the city to discover the views as well as the defenses installed to protect San Sebastian from invaders.
