Private tour of San Sebastian from Bilbao - We visited San Sebastian from a Bilbao cruise stop. We did a private tour with Felix and had a great time. Despite the rain, we enjoyed our walking tour around San Sebastian followed by Pintxos and Wine tasting. Felix provided the right mix of tour/information with the food/wine tasting and some free time and it made for a great experience. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Fantastic Tour!!! - Our friends had booked this all day tour for us and it was just the four of us. Adur I. was our guide, and he was outstanding. In addition, to getting us to and from San Sebastián and Getaria , he provided commentary on the Basque culture, history and the current state of affairs in the Basque Country, Spain and the World!!! We loved it!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our walks through San Sebastián (it was during the annual film festival so we were told it was more crowded than usual), and the small seaside town of Getaria. The tour included two stops for pintxos which served as refreshing breaks. Most important, Adur was extremely sensitive to our limitations…..he walked at a slower pace for us and in Getaria dropped us off rather than make us walk from the van’s parking spot. While we liked seeing and learning about San Sebastián and Getaria, the highlight of the trip was meeting and getting to know Adur; indeed, it helped that we shared similar social and political philosophies.

Full Day Tour of San Sebastian and Getaria - We just returned from the San Sebastian and Getaria tour with Adur Iriondo. It was one of the most enjoyable day tours we have taken. We visited San Sebastian during their annual film festival. Although somewhat crowded we were able to walk around the town visiting the various sights including the beach area and old town where we enjoyed a delicious sampling of pintxos at two different restaurants. Much credit goes out to Adur who, being born and raised in the Basque Country, shared his vast knowledge of the region. Not just the history but the "stories" behind the history. He also shared his personal stories growing up in the area. It was not only educational but Adur made it very entertaining -- "edutaining". Adur also followed up with us on other areas to go and eat in the Basque region. We would highly recommend this full day tour of San Sebastian and Getaria.

Beautiful day in San Sabastian. - Jose was a terrific guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and articulate. The pinctios tastings were delicious and a lot of fun. There was a problem with our pickup but Jose handled it so well that we didn’t mind at all.

Great cultural and sightseeing experience! - We took a day trip with Jose, a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He had so much inside knowledge about the city and its history! Very affable and flexible person. The food (pintxos) were great and highlighted the best of the local cuisine. The stop in Getaria was also great, with lovely views along the way. We highly recommend this experience!

Day Tour with great guide - We booked the private experience for the day trip to San Sebastian and the area. Our guide & driver, Jose, was excellent. He was from the area and had a deep knowledge of the history and culture. The drive to SS was easy, and a good chance to ask him a lot of questions. Besides his impeccable English and great vocabulary, he was very enjoyable to spend the day with. It is definitely worth having the private experience.

Great way to see San Sebastian from Bilboa - Jose and Victoria were excellent guides, despite stating small tour up to 8 we were given a private tour. We found the walking tour of San Sebastian on the slow side, it would have been good to be faster and have some free time. The food provided at two local restaurants was excellent 5 dishes and 4 wine/cider each.
