Waste of time and money if you want to see Basque Country.
The way the tour was described on Viator's website was not very clear and somewhat deceiving. The tour we booked was called Tour of Hondaribbia, San Sebastian, Getaria, Zarautz and was supposed to last 9 hours. The itinerary we were given even gave times at each city and the confirmation text was described as such. When the tour operator arrived, their itinerary only provided for San Sebastian and Getaria. I showed them our booking and their response was they don't offer such a tour. Since we were already on the road and couldn't cancel, we proceeded at least expecting a guided tour of San Sebastian. The guides were very friendly but didn't offer anything we could have done on our own. The highlight of the whole day was lunch which was excellent, but here again, the booking stated 4 pintxos, and 2 glasses of wine. We were offered 3 pintxos and a choice of drink. Needless to say, we were looking forward to an exciting day exploring Basque Country but instead, paid almost $200 each for an Uber ride to San Sebastian with lunch. Viator blamed us for not reading the fine print which gave you a choice o Small Group or Bilingual tour. The way the information was presented did not associate your particular choice with only a certain portion of the tour. All communications after booking implied we would visit all four cities. I would not recommend this tour if you are looking to see the Basque Country. You're better off doing it on your own by renting a car and buying a guidebook or watch YouTube videos to learn about where to go. Total waste of time and money!

Fantastic tour of San Sebastián and Getaria
We had a great experience on our tour to San Sebastián - Donostia and Getaria! Our guide gave us a very thorough tour of the city, which was beautiful and very different from Bilbao. He shared a lot of the history and culture too, which was great. Lunch was fantastic—local Pintxos and wine, with Basque cheesecake afterward. Getaria was nice too, albeit much smaller, so just a short stop and walk around. Overall length was 9 hours, just right. Value was fantastic. I highly recommend it if you’re in Bilbao and want to see a little more of the region!

Sumptuous San Sebastian
Our tour was an excellent way to experience San Sebastian and the nearby coastal towns. It took us right to the sights and sounds of the region, and included an exceptionally delicious lunch. Our tour guide, Andy, was excellent! Personable, highly knowledgeable, and an all-around pleasure to have as a guide. Definitely recommended as a day trip from Bilbao!

Asier was the perfect guide!
We had an incredible day touring San Sebastián and Getaria with Asier. This was easily the best guided tour we’ve ever taken.
Although it was scheduled as a small group tour, it ended up being just the two of us, likely because the morning started out rainy. That made the experience even more personal. We’re in our 50s and had already spent weeks walking all over Spain, so we really appreciated traveling comfortably by van with only short walks at each stop.
Asier was outstanding. His knowledge of Basque history, culture, traditions, and everyday life was amazing, and he happily answered every question we had. His English is nearly perfect, he’s incredibly well traveled, and he’s the kind of guide who makes every stop more meaningful. Even with the rain, he adjusted the day so everything worked out perfectly, and by the afternoon the sun was shining.
He also took us to an excellent restaurant where he ordered a wonderful variety of pintxos for us to try, showed us a fantastic souvenir shop, and even taught us how to play jai alai.
If you’re visiting the Basque Country, don’t hesitate to book this tour, and if you have the chance to tour with Asier, take it. He is knowledgeable, personable, flexible, and truly passionate about sharing his beautiful region. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Sunny day tour Bilbao to San Sebastián etc
The day tour went well. We left on time. The walking tour was at a comfortable pace for everyone on a hot day. Our guide gave lots of interesting information on the drive and on the visits and it was great to see varied scenery, culture and a mix of buildings etc. We had time for a coffee stop then lunch after the walking tour which we paid for. Thank you for a great day ADR (guide’s name pronounced Adoor) , the driving and the places we visited.

A great way to learn about the Basque region.
This was a great way to experience the Basque region. I learned so much about the history and culture of the region from our guide Jose. A fabulous day where everything was well organised and my special vegetarian requests were catered for with ease.

Absolutely book this tour
You will get much information on this Tours about both San Sebastian and GELATERA and the small group format is ideal
Our driver and guide a DUR was fantastic. He is a local who attended the British school from age 6 to 18 so his English was even better than ours. He is so well suited for this work and in the small group format it will be easy to follow through the main squares and streets of San Sebastian and learned so very much. We were picked up at the port while on a cruise with two days in BILBAL no pick up when seamlessly as did the drop off. It was about a one hour 15 minute ride to San Sebastian.
We walk through town from 11 until one also along the beach promenade. We had reservations at 1 PM for PINXTOS at the first bar/pub and were served too hot items and a choice of drink. We bar/pub and we serve too hot items and a choice of drink. We then a tour the interesting side street some more and had reservations at a second colorful pub where we had another hot PINXTOS as well as a dessert item that was delicious and of course more wine or beer.
We then left and drove over the back roads on the mountains to the second small town which was really really beautiful and I imagine it would be a lovely place to stay. We did an ice cream stop there before arriving back at the port at about 6 PM. We 100% recommend this tour to you.
