Were boats of a quality and reputation similar to that of Ferraris and Porsches manufactured in sixteenth century Euskadi? Yes, and yes.

San Sebastián Sightseeing with Martin - Martin was our guide for a private tour of San Sebastian and the whole experience was delightful!! Martin is very knowledgeable and exudes good vibes and a clear passion for his city. At every stop he shared stories about the city and the Basque people. It was truly a treat to be with him and we all fell in love with San Sebastián.

Amazing way to explore San Sebastián - My family and I took the sightseeing and pintxos tour with Ernes, and loved it so much! You get a very nice overview of the city’s structure and history, and end the tour with a fantastic selection of bars. Ernes was so nice and sincere. We learned a lot about the basque region in such a short amount of time. The reservation process was also very smooth. The company is very well run. We cannot recommend enough!

Fabulous - Ernes was an amazing tour guide. It is invaluable to have a tour conducted by a local resident steeped in the Basque tradition and culture. The trip started with taking us to a spot where we could get spectacular views of the city (great photos). He then navigated us through the city to a variety of pintxos cafes catering to our likes and yet introducing us to new foods we would never tried on our own. The tour in a word - FABULOUS!

Fab tour of San Sebastian - Had a fantastic sightseeing trip of San Sebastian, our wonderful guide Martin gave us plenty of information and history of the town and the Basque region. We covered most of the town on ebikes which made it effortless and super fun. We finished the tour with a trip to the Pintxos bars and some excellent food and beverage chosen by our guide. Would certainly recommend this tour and our lovely guide Martin.

Great overview of San Sebastián - We had an excellent tour with Martin. As a San Sebastien resident, he was very knowledgable about the area. He provided us with a historic overview of the Basque region and was able to fill in with interesting stories of his friends and family. We did part of the tour by van, then walked through gardens and along the beach front. The pintxos he selected were delicious and he helpfully provided restaurant recommendations for us to use later in our visit.
