Wear comfortable shoes as you will w walking for two hours. Great guide and tour. Mikele was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the city and its sites, as well as eager to recommend places to visit on our own.
We did the three hour tour which went by quickly. Francisco is steeped in the history and culture of San Sebastián. He I also well traveled, multi-fluent and interesting. We heard stories and saw things the average tour would not. He is happy to adapt to your interests. We enjoyed the tour and the guide.
Jose brought history to life on our walking tour! Most personable, knowledgeable, and courteous. Made the Very Best use of our time! Most importantly, Jose provided Safety by avoiding any issues we might’ve encountered in a city we had never visited Jose went Above and Beyond. Met us at the bus station upon arrival and took us back to meet our bus on time. Extraordinarily Jose researched a souvenir from Spain that we were unable to find for nine days before - he not only found it, but brought it with him and Surprised us with him at the end of the tour!!! Jose made our trip to Spain a MEMORABLE SUCCESS!!! Thank you Jose!
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!
A wonderful city, it exceeded my expectations!!!!! The tour was perfect in the hands of Mikel. I totally recommend this destination to you.
