While traveling in San Sebastian we went on a bike tour and Pintxos/Wine. Our tour guides were amazing. This was a great way to experience the city. I would highly recommend Basque Tours

First we can’t express enough our appreciation for Basque Tours. Jon and Jani have been incredible partners. We were scheduled for two tours in May of last year and due to family circumstances we needed to cancel close to the deadline. Jon and Jani didn’t hesitate to reimburse our deposit right away. They immediately earned our trust. So when it came time for us reschedule our trip to San Sebastián we did not hesitate to contact Jon and Jani. They were immediately on top of things to get us booked and the tours did not disappoint. Maria was our guide for the City Walk and Pintxos Tour. She is just an amazing person with incredible knowledge on the history and culture of Donastia. Growing up in Donastia Maria was able to share many stories and bring to life the history of the city. And the Pintxos tour exceeded our expectations. It seemed like so many people along the tour recognized her, stopping to say a brief hello and just adding to our experience. The food was excellent and Maria also gave us a list of other Pintxos bars and their specialties to try on our own during our stay. We can’t wait to return and book another tour with Maria of the villages outside of San Sebastián.

Kaisho! We did 2 different tours with Basque Tours. Our first one was to Bilbao to the Guggenheim and to Getaria for lunch at Kaia Kaipe and a tour of the town. We had the pleasure of working with Bicente, who was excellent! So personable, professional and knows his way around both places very well. He is a ture art lover, so the perfect person to tour you through the Guggenheim. Would highly recommend! Our second tour with the San Sebastian City Car and Walk Tour and Pintxos Tour with our guide, Gorka. He was super chill, personable, knowledgeable and charming. Drove us around to places farther than we could walk to - which I highly recommend this to efficiently see the amazing views and sculptures high on hill tops. Breathtaking photos! Gorka tailored our Pintxos Tour to our tastes, of course, we eat everything! We had a beautiful tasting of an array of different Pintxos paired with Txakoli and Rioja Alava Wines. Excellent - we look forward to going back to amazing San Sebastian! Essarik Asko!

Our guide, Veronica, was fun, informative and a local who knew the best Pinxto bars and the best things to order in each place. We have done many tours with Basque Tours and they have all been fabulous! Their guides are wonderful, and they have relationships with establishments that make your experiences extra special. You can’t go wrong using Basque Tours!

Basque Tours is such a wonderful group to book various kinds of day trips with and this evening tour to five pixtos restaurants was no exception. Our host, Sandra, was absolutely wonderful as a San Sebastian resident who knows all of the best places to go to sample the town's fabulous food and wines. We were also able to bypass all of the lines as Sandra knows all of the owners well and was able to enter each one, place orders for what she felt was best to sample, and bring all of it to us to enjoy. I highly recommend booking this tour while in San Sebastian.

Veronika was an absolute delight. She guided us through the streets of Old Town to the top tiered Pinxtos spots. Her familiarity with the people and what they do best was invaluable to us on our first visit to the region. We took this tour early in our visit to San Sebastián and we were able to utilize what we learned from Veronika over the remaining time we were there. As a history teacher, Veronika was very knowledgeable about the significance and historical importance of the places we were visiting. Fantastic food, outstanding wine and an excellent guide to help us get the most out of our first day in the area.

An amazing tour in San Sebastián and a wonderful introduction to Basque life and culture. Our guide, Edu, was outstanding. We began with a walking tour of San Sebastián, learning about the culture and the history and then proceeded to eat and drink our way through the city. The guide was informative, knowledgeable, accommodating and very personable. This was the first of four tours with the company, and was an outstanding beginning. Very very highly recommend the tour and the company
