We loved the walking tour... - We loved the walking tour of San Sebastián! Fabian, our guide, answered all our questions related to the tour, and related to San Sebastián. We learned a lot! It was a cloudy/rainy day then, and only 3 of us (4 with the guide) did the walking tour. Fabian looked for shelter areas near the key landmarks to give us background and perspective. Even my daughters - 23 & 19 got so engaged that they asked a lot of Qs as well. We appreciated San Sebastián more with this tour!

Very good tour and its history. I loved San Sebastian - The Usua Guide is very good and explains everything very well. We had a great time on the tour and explained everything in great detail. We loved the city and its history. Very interesting, as we are from PR and there is a lot of history we are involved in for the times we were part of Spain.

Excellent walking tour packed with lots info! - Took this tour to be more familiar with Donostia San Sebastián as this is my first time truly visiting this beautiful city. Fabian was our guide and he spent two hours giving us tons of historical information about the city and pointing out interesting historical details as still seen today. I definitely had a deeper understanding of Donostia San Sebastián and greatly appreciated Fabian’s profound historical knowledge intertwining our two hour informative walk from the new town to the old town to end with a pintxo and a drink at Restaurante Gandarias… tour worth taking if you want an introduction or to learn more about the history and culture of Donostia San Sebastián!

Outstanding Walking Tour - This morning my wife and I went on a tour of San Sebastián, along with another couple, hosted by the brilliant Usua. This was not a typical tourist tour, but an incredibly insightful explanation of the history of the city and the Basque region. We walked through the city whilst Usua detailed the history almost from biblical times, including the story, or myth, of Saint Sebastian. She explained how the city suffered from invasion from French, British and Portuguese soldiers. Yet the will of the local Basques prevailed, as Usua explained. She even took us through the architectural history, including complete destruction by invaders though the Belle Epoque, to the 20th Century. I am unsure if Usua is the best guide in San Sebastián, but I doubt there is a better one. We felt we had been given a real lesson in history in all its senses. If you visit the wonderful city, take a walking tour with Usua, or one of her colleagues. We even finished with a drink and a pintxos and an idea of where to eat later. Thank you.

The best way to start a 48 hour stay - by understanding the background to the city - Victor was knowledgeable, enthusiastic & friendly, and willing & able to answer all our questions. It was a great start to our 48 hours in San Sebastián, and enabled us to make the best of our time there. Highly recommended - at the start of any trip.
