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.

Two hour walking tour - Excellent two hour walking tour of the Old City. Our guide Silvia was very well informed and showed us many interesting sites. She was kind enough to follow up with a very informative email of places to eat.

Jose Manuel is the best! - Jose Manuel was an awesome guide! He was knowledgeable and tailored our tour to our interests. He also helped us a ton with how to navigate the city via public transit and offered AMAZING food recommendations. My husband and I cannot thank him enough on really giving us a genuine understanding and scope of the Basque culture. We learned so much from him and he truly made our trip unforgettable. Thanks again, Jose Manuel!!!

Would not recommend at all. - We wanted a tour that would focus on history and not on any food aspects, which is how we came to this tour. To be honest, the tour was not worth it at all. We had a very nice tour guide who was very conversational, but the guide did not know much about the history of San Sebastian which is what we really cared about! We learned ~2-3 facts over the course of 3 hours, which was really disappointing. Based on other reviews, I guess it is tour guide dependent, but we were quite disappointed and my family didn't have that much expectations going into it. Basic facts were just not able to be stated
