Itxasco is a wonderful guide! The tour was the best way to learn about San Sebastián, the city, the history and the Basque culture. Itxasco is the reason the tour was so special- she is knowledgeable and shared many interesting points as we walked through the city sharing an understanding of what makes San Sebastián such a special place. We scheduled the tour our first morning in San Sebastián- it was the best way to see and learn to later revisit places with a better understanding that we wouldn’t have known on our own. A must do!
Well paced walk led by Jessica, who provided thoughtful commentary and great restaurant and activity recommendations. Excellent overview of the town and it’s history.

Great tour! Itsaxo was a wonderful guide - very knowledgeable about art, history, and architecture. I cannot believe how much ground and information was covered in the 2 hours.

Knowledgeable, passionate, and personable, Jessica is an excellent tour guide that shares the history and culture of her city while making you feel like a friend in town. Highly recommended her tour!
Monica is a wonderful guide with deep knowledge about San Sebastian's history. A terrific way to learn about the city and enjoy a fabulous walk.
San Sebastián is a beautiful city and has so much history. We enjoyed seeing the old town and hearing about the history of the buildings.
Our guide José Manuel was extremly knowledgeable, engaged and easy to understand. He gave us good insight in history, politics, culture and gastronomy. When we come back to San Sebastian we will definitely book José Manuel for another of his tours!
We had a great tour with Jessica. Loved doing this right at the beginning of our six days in San Sebastian because then the city made more sense moving forward. The history of this place informed everything we did later in the trip.
