Highly recommend. Francisco was a great guide, very relaxed with great knowledge of San Sebastion history and food. The Pintxos at the end were also very good.
Fran is a professionally trained tour guide who is passionate about what he does, and it shows. We had a great personal tour with him in San Sebastian, learning about the history, culture and traditions of this very unique part of Spain, while also trying some pinxos along the way. We highly recommend this tour and Fran as a guide.
Very interesting tour, the mix of history and culinary info was perfect.
I did this tour solo with Fran as our group’s guide and it was perfect! It was my first time in San Sebastián and started the tour knowing next to nothing about the city’s or Basque’s history and came away from the tour feeling very knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour for anyone. Also, it’s not a ton of walking and is very flat, so I think it’s a pretty accessible tour.
An excellent tour of San Sebastián. Fran was an amazing tour guide giving us Historical and food and drink info.
Danni is the best tour guide here! Super funny, knowledgeable and efficient. So much interesting history. Strongly recommend! But make sure you choose him as a guide because some of the other guides at this company just aren’t that good.
Fanny was lovely - friendly, knowledgeable and ha ppy to answer all our questions. Would highly reco mmend her tour to have fun and get a nice grasp of the city!
Santiago was an excellent tour guide and spoke English very well. he was very knowledgeable about the history of San Sebastián and led us around the old town with many pertinent facts about the city and history. I would highly recommend Santiago as your personal guide. Bayard and Kathy Chang
