Pello is smart, sensitive to history, well-informed and a compendium of good suggestions and tips. We loved walking San Sebastián with him. He lit up the streets with his thoughtful analyses and stories. Our tour consisted of just the two of us, making our experience more personal, but his personality would enhance a large group. Thank you Pello for a memorable trip to San Sebastian. .
All round Excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Lots of interesting history about the city.
Highly recommend taking this walking tour of San Sebastián with guide Pello. Very knowledgeable about the history.
This tour is a great introduction to San Sebastián. Our guide, Pello, brought the history of the city to life as we walked around and saw a few of the major sights and Old City. I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to visit the city.
Excellent tour guide. Pello was passionate and knowledgeable about San Sebastián, Spanish and Basque history. As a small group guided tour it was a fantastic way to learn about San Sebastian.
Pello was a wonderful guide who knew so much about Sans Sebastián especially seeing as though he is a local.

Very interesting to hear about the history of the town. Not too far to walk but saw a lot. Very informative.
A very nice guide but we actually learned little about the city. The story stuck somewhat on 1813 and Maria Cristina.
Hartelijk dank voor uw feedback en voor uw vriendelijke woorden over de gids. Wij begrijpen uw indruk en waarderen het dat u de tijd heeft genomen om deze met ons te delen. Deze specifieke wandeltocht is opgezet rond de romantische wijk van San Sebastián, La Concha, de Buen Pastor-kathedraal en de elegante 19e-eeuwse uitbreiding van de stad. Omdat een groot deel van de route zich op dit deel van de stad richt, spelen de transformatie na 1813 en de invloed van koningin María Cristina natuurlijk een centrale rol in het verhaal. We gaan ook in op de middeleeuwse oorsprong van de stad en andere belangrijke momenten in haar geschiedenis, hoewel we binnen een rondleiding van 90 minuten de onderwerpen moeten selecteren die de gebieden die we bezoeken het beste toelichten. Uw opmerkingen zijn zeer waardevol en zullen ons helpen de balans in onze uitleg verder te verbeteren. Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor uw deelname, en we hopen u in de toekomst weer te mogen verwelkomen.
The walking tour proved to be better than we had expected. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive to the small group’s questions. We learned of San Sebastian’s history, which helped us to understand the landmarks that we encountered in our walk.
