San Sebastian Old Town Walking Tour & Pintxos GuideYou walk the old town's key landmarks—Monte Urgull, San Telmo Museum, Constitution Square, and the 16th-century San Vicente Church—with a guide who knows the pintxos spots and the history behind each street. Small groups keep the pace relaxed, and everything is wheelchair accessible. The whole experience runs 3 to 4 hours.Is it for me?Right for anyone who wants to understand San Sebastian's actual layout and history without arranging separate stops—the guide's knowledge of pintxos and the Basque context is what makes the walk more than just sightseeing.
San Sebastian: Old Town & Miramar Palace Private Walking TourYou walk San Sebastian's Belle Époque centre and Old Town with a local guide who explains the architecture, history, and local rhythm of each stop. Choose 2 hours for the historic core or 4 hours to add Miramar Palace, Tabakalera, and Chillida's coastal sculpture. The guide tailors the pace and duration to your group, and you leave with both the main sights and genuine tips for exploring on your own afterward.Is it for me?Book this if you want the main sights and local context without arranging a route yourself—the guide's knowledge of timing, light, and which streets matter most is what turns a walk into an understanding of how the city actually works.
San Sebastian Bike Tour: 30km Coastal & Old Town RoutesYou cycle 30 kilometres through San Sebastián's coastal paths, neighbourhoods and beaches with a local guide who explains the city's history and culture as you ride. The tour includes your bike, helmet, and stops at La Concha Beach, Miramar Palace, Zurriola beach and the Gros district, ending where you started on Reyes Católicos street.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see San Sebastián the way locals do — from the bike paths that connect the beaches, neighbourhoods and landmarks — without navigating the city yourself or stopping to plan each route.
San Sebastian: Pintxo Lunch Tour & Wine Pairings Old TownYou’ll join a small group to wander San Sebastian’s Old Town at lunchtime, tasting classic and modern pintxos paired with local wines and cider at five buzzing bars. A friendly local guide shares stories (and maybe a few jokes), while you sample everything from salty anchovies to rich beef cheeks. Expect laughter, new flavors, and plenty of tips for exploring more on your own.
San Sebastian Pintxos Tour: 5 Stops & Local Wine TastingYou walk through two San Sebastian neighbourhoods, stopping at five local bars to eat pintxos and drink wine or cider with people who know the place. The guide explains the Basque food tradition and how to navigate the scene, but mostly you're eating and absorbing how locals spend their evenings. Each booking funds a meal for someone in the city's soup kitchen, and the whole thing takes three hours with minimal walking between stops.Is it for me?Right for anyone who travels to eat and wants to understand how locals actually spend their evenings, not how restaurants stage them for visitors — the small group and the unhurried pace between bars is what makes that possible.
San Sebastián: Chef-Led Pintxo Tour with Food & DrinksYou’ll wander San Sebastián’s Old Town with a local chef as your guide, tasting pintxos at five different bars—think veal cheeks, seared squid, maybe even crispy pig ear—with drinks perfectly paired at each stop. Expect laughter over language slips and stories swapped between bites. You’ll leave full of flavors and memories you didn’t plan for.
