Relaxed, well paced and informative about the locations and fun, well chosen food and drinks
The day tour went well. We left on time. The walking tour was at a comfortable pace for everyone on a hot day. Our guide gave lots of interesting information on the drive and on the visits and it was great to see varied scenery, culture and a mix of buildings etc. We had time for a coffee stop then lunch after the walking tour which we paid for. Thank you for a great day ADR (guide’s name pronounced Adoor) , the driving and the places we visited.
We really enjoyed this trip with Nora, who is an excellent guide!
This was a great way to experience the Basque region. I learned so much about the history and culture of the region from our guide Jose. A fabulous day where everything was well organised and my special vegetarian requests were catered for with ease.
You will get much information on this Tours about both San Sebastian and GELATERA and the small group format is ideal Our driver and guide a DUR was fantastic. He is a local who attended the British school from age 6 to 18 so his English was even better than ours. He is so well suited for this work and in the small group format it will be easy to follow through the main squares and streets of San Sebastian and learned so very much. We were picked up at the port while on a cruise with two days in BILBAL no pick up when seamlessly as did the drop off. It was about a one hour 15 minute ride to San Sebastian. We walk through town from 11 until one also along the beach promenade. We had reservations at 1 PM for PINXTOS at the first bar/pub and were served too hot items and a choice of drink. We bar/pub and we serve too hot items and a choice of drink. We then a tour the interesting side street some more and had reservations at a second colorful pub where we had another hot PINXTOS as well as a dessert item that was delicious and of course more wine or beer. We then left and drove over the back roads on the mountains to the second small town which was really really beautiful and I imagine it would be a lovely place to stay. We did an ice cream stop there before arriving back at the port at about 6 PM. We 100% recommend this tour to you.
Excellent . Pilar was a very interesting and informative guide. The trip covered a lot of culture. The pinxtos were very tasty
Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history, culture, and life in the Basque Country. We booked the day trip from Bilbao, knowing very little about the region. It was a full day and after driving in the rain through the beautiful countryside, we were lucky to arrive in San Sebastián where it was dry, and the sun occasionally came out. ( unfortunately the downpour diid not allow us to walk around Getaria) We learned so much about Basque Country, its historic past and its pride in a very strong identity, which we hadn't realized was separate from Spain or France. We were introduced to the culinary culture of the bar hopping lunch of Pinxchos, totally opposite our rushed lunch of coffee and a snack. Adur was an excellent guide and a careful driver. We highly recommend this day trip if you are spending a few days in Bilbao.
A terrific way to see and understand San Sebastian. Our tour guide Asier was amazingly talented as he shared his knowledge of the basque people and culture. He is also a foodie so we had just wonderful pinxtos with a perfect local flavor. We lucked out with a beautiful sunny day as we strolled through San Sebastian. On the way home we stopped at the Vizcaya bridge which is also a true engineering wonder. He shared with us an understanding of the industrial background of Bilbao and the shift to an arts center with many tech industries. We had time for stories laughter good wine and food. Highly recommend this trip, tour company and guide.
A packed day of high energy touring and stimulating conversation with guide/host Joserra of Local Experts Tours. Extended visits/walkabouts of Getaria and San Sebastián, with generous provisions of coffee & snacks (Getaria) and pintxos lunch with wine (San Sebastián). Thoroughly enjoyable! We slept well that night :-)
Our guide, Adur, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed this tour. The pinxtos were delicious. Both towns were interesting.
