Experience the best of San Sebastian - A fabulous tour where you’ll experience San Sebastian’s beauty, culture and food, all whilst learning about its fascinating history. I thought I knew the city well having visited a few times in the past but this tour opened my eyes to new discoveries. Combining a walking tour, boat trip, Basque food, museum visit and history, this tour is a great way to experience everything San Sebastián has to offer. The local tour guide was welcoming, friendly and took the time to get to know each individual on the tour. He was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Highly recommend!

Great morning in San Sebastian with boat trip, food and a stroll through the old town. - We had a very exciting and eventful morning. We met in front of the aquarium by the harbor. After our guide explained the historical background of the fishing port, we were taken on an exciting boat tour. The view was fantastic! The guide's knowledge of the area was impressive. Strengthened by a sweet Basque specialty, we strolled through the alleys of the old town and visited a museum and a church. An unforgettable morning that ended with a glass of wine, some cheese and one of the famous pinxtos. We'll take away great memories and lots of new knowledge about Basque culture and the city.

such a great deal - We loved this tour. It contains a lot of different perspectives from the city and the basque culture. The boat ride was fun! And we took a Polaroid picture all together, they gave it as a gift, it was lovely. We walked around town learning about the culture, went to an impressive museum and also got delicious food to try. They aligned to gluten and lactose intolerants which is great. The guide was super friendly. Even thought us a few words of the Euskera language. loved it, highly recommend it

Get to know Basque culture in Donosti - I enjoyed all parts of the tour. The trip by boat was amazing, to see San Sebastian from another perspective, very special.
The tour through the old town was perfect, to get to know all these family shops was very intresting and valuable to learn more about Basque traditions and culture, just the little things make it really worth. We learned so much from Hektor. He gave us the right information to keep it fun and not too much.
The walk was 4 hours, but felt like 2 ;).
I had a great time and thank you so much. It was very well organised!
