Highlights
  • San Sebastian - Donostia - We will take an hour and a half guided tour of the old town, visiting the Church of San Vicente and the Basilica of Santa María del Coro. We will go through much of the history of the old part of the city, remembering the fires that devastated much of the city.

We will enjoy the atmosphere of San Sebastian strolling through the Plaza Mayor and the Plaza de la Constitución, to reach the Port, one of the most important places, both for its relevance in the character of its people and for the importance of maritime trade. And who said a walk through San Sebastian, said a walk through Bahía de la Concha. Get your cameras ready, we must return home with this photo.

We will pass by the Town Hall, one of the noble buildings, until we reach the Ensanche de San Sebastian. And at the end of this route we will go to the green lung, Plaza Gipuzkoa, and Plaza Okendo, to contemplate the Urumea river and its bridges before leaving San Sebastian.

Wonderful day trip - We had a wonderful trip to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and San Sebastián with our guide Aman. The trip was well planned and Aman did great job giving us enough information about the places we visited and important historical events without overloading us with too many facts and dates. The bus was comfortable and the driver was reliable, we felt safe. We absolutely enjoyed our trip. Thank you very much, Aman!

Highly recommended - This was a great excursion and well worth the cost. Our tour guide (apologies I know how to say his name but not spell it, he did the 17/4 tour) was excellent, kept us informed, made everyone feel welcome and was really knowledgeable about the history of the Basque regions and the places we visited. Highly recommended.

Excellent day tour- brilliant guides - Loved the diverse day - coastal walk and city food. The guides Aman and Laura were attentive knowledgeable and , with tremendous energy, informed us of the history, culture, food, politics of the basque area. This was an excellent tour and we are so glad we took it. Now know sooo much more about the area. And San Sebastián cheesecake!!

Well-Organised, Stress-Free, Enjoyable! - Really well organised tour! Both guides were so knowledgeable, and gave all information in both Spanish and English. We had plenty of free time in San Sebastián which was much appreciated - unlike many tours which rush you through places! And the hike/non-hike options at San Juan de Gaztelugatxe were explained really well. There was an error with my ticket so my name was not on the list when I arrived. But it was all sorted within 5 mins! A really great experience.

Simple excursion - English-Spanish tour combined. Long stories in one language. Not interesting for others. Bus was super. Pick up and drop off were okay.
