Can, getting to know the city, its architecture, history and traditions, be interesting and not boring at all? Well, difficult, specially if we talk about San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) so beautiful city, that just see it leaves breathless. When I came to live to San Sebastian in 2006 I was totally impressed by the beauty of this town, however I did not discovered the soul of the city until I experienced the unrivalled city tour with Ikusnahi this summer. We have been walking around the city with Ania, who explained everything in such amazing and interesting way, natural and very funny at the same time! She left space for open discussion for you to begin to discover for yourself, in an imperceptible way, that you know the city more deeply, understanding the local culture and people much better.

Can’t say enough great things about our day-tour with Andoni. As big GOT fans, it was an absolute blast to visit the filming locations for Dragonstone (Yes, you visit more than one!). The hotel pick-up from San Sebastian was a huge plus, as the locations we visited were around an hour west of San Sebastian. Andoni was as professional as they come and ensured we were completely comfortable and relaxed the entire day. He showed us the best kept secrets throughout the area and truly got to know us. We would have never had seen anything close to what we did without his guidance. My wife and I both agree that this was the highlight of our entire vacation. Would reccomend 10/10.

Eske was my guide and she was excellent - the best tour guide I've ever had! Since we did our tour during COVID times, many of places that usually are open and bustling were unfortunately closed. Despite this, Eske was prepared and brought me to 5 different pintxos places in the old town area - each of which did not disappoint! My favorite pintxo was surprisingly the dish with setas (mushrooms). I did not expect it to be my favorite (especially because everything else was so good), but Eske convinced me to try it, and I am glad that I did. Not only was Eske extremely knowledgeable, a great conversationalist, and answered all of my questions, but she was very flexible in her tour, and gave me options of at each pintxos place. In addition to the food, I learned a lot about the history and geography of San Sebastián. I'm very lucky to have had the experience. Make sure you take her tour!

This historic and sustainable nature walking tour, starts in Bilbao and using the public transport to get to the coast, we will guide you through the history of the Basque Country. The Nervion River is the origin of Bilbao and it is also the main axis to understanding the development of Bizkaia and the Basque Country.

This beach with black sand, is covered by a green blanket of dunes and flanked by a steep cliff, it is the perfect spot for nature lovers, and is considered a geological and biological jewel. The path that runs along spectacular landscapes and steep cliffs, arriving to the mouth of the River and up to Bizkaia Bridge will help you to understand the past and the present of Bizkaia; the most important province of the Basque Country full of heritage and traditions.

We travelled by car from Bilbao with Iñaki for a day tour to Rioja. Tasted some fantastic wines and had some very interesting wine making information from wine makers. Iñaki explained much about the history of the Basque and Rioja regions during the day’s travelling. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in wine making and regional Spain.

We loved our trip to Basque Country in 2019 and enjoyed returning virtually with Claudia. The chef was great at explaining and demonstrating how to make each Pixto and which drink to pair it with. She also gave some background do’s and don’t on Pixto bars (that we had to learn on our own during our trip). We made 3 of the four pixtos, all were yummy. We’ll make the 4th tonight. Below are photos of the mushroom with baby shrimp and the shrimp, bacon, with vinaigrette. (Our photos don’t look like the chefs because we decided to remove the food from the skewers since we were home & not in a bar.) Highly recommend Devour, Claudia, and this class. Highly recommend the food.

We took this tour on the first day of our arrival in San Sebastian. Not only did it give us an excellent introduction to the city but Eskerne, a native of San Sebastian, gave us so much information about the culture and lifestyle of the locals. Her exuberant personality and pleasant demeanor made it a joy to spend some hours together. She is truly a polished professional! Highly recommend!

Angel was very insightful and took me to places I never would have known to go while staying for two weeks in San Sebastián. He knew a lot about the geological processes of the region and explored very beautiful landscapes along the coast! It was definitely a highlight of the trip ????
