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.

Wonderful custom tour! - Kyle was incredibly friendly, and did a great job customizing the tour based on our requests. We learned a great deal about the history of San Sebastián, the food scene, must-visit shops, and can’t-miss activities. We got everything we were hoping to from the tour and are extremely grateful for the terrific experience!

Interesting and entertaining tour - We had a fantastic time learning all about the sights, history, and Basque culture on our tour. José Manuel was an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide as well as a great ambassador for San Sebastian/Donostia.

Learned so much and so entertaining - We did a 3 hour tour with Silvia (5 adults). She was excellent and knowledgeable. She was so kind and funny and not condescending at all. She was prompt and went at a great pace without rushing us. She gave us awesome recommendations for food/pixtos etc. She was very entertaining and we would definitely go on another tour if we had time!

Excellent tour with Silvia - start your stay with her tour to really understand what you should know, do and eat! - Silvia was so lovely and very knowledgable. She orientated the tour around our interests and we experienced an excellent mix of tasty bites and historic buildings. Such a great way to start a trip here so you get the context, history and best places to visit for the rest of your stay. Silvia very kindly also sent us loads of places to check out after our tour (attractions, nearby town and best eating spots). Amazing insight from a local that made our whole trip really special. Thank you so much.

Private walking tour with Silvia - We had a private walking tour around the old town in San Sebastien with Silvia and it was fantastic. Her knowledge of the history of the area was exceptional as was her ability to explain the local culture and point out all of the places we need to eat at and visit. I would highly recommend Silvia as your guide if you want to get to know all about San Sebastien and to have a great idea of how to maximise your time here.

San Sebastian visit - great time with our guide jone, who knows the city and San Sebastian well. Adapted to our wishes. Big downside: the delta between what we paid TRIP ADVISOR and what our guide touched is shameful... either the client or the guide got screwed. the only winner? trip Advisor
