Cycling in San Sebastián - Such an efficient way to learn the city. Really do this on day one. Ania, our guide, was fantastic. We highly recommend her and ikushani.com. In just 4 hours we covered most of the main areas and even rode the funicular to the summit of Igueldo. Very informative and many local insights that you won’t find in your own.

San Sebastián - The perfect tour and tour guide - We are four friends from the United States visiting Donostia-San Sebastian for the first time. The early September weather was warm, the skies sunny, and we had a perfect day for a tour of the city with our guide Ania of Ikusnahi Tours. Ania was a joy to be with. Her disposition was upbeat, friendly and her knowledge of the area and history was both wide and deep. She was particularly helpful in our understanding of the Basque culture and traditions, very much alive in San Sebastián. Ania also frequently asked for our interests and customized the tour accordingly. A high point of the tour was the walk through Old Town where Ania brought us to a pintxos bar, a must have experience here, and helped us order some delicious small plates and wine while mixing in with a local crowd. She later gave us a list of her favorite pintxos bars which we availed ourselves of a few nights later when we went unaccompanied for a night on the town of bar and food hopping. Her recommendations were great. Below is an itinerary of our 3.5 hours with Ania so you can see how much she delivered in a relatively short time, leaving us feeling familiar with and ready to explore the city on our own for the rest of our stay. She arrived promptly at 10:00 am with a Mercedes van large enough for all four of us including one, very tall gentleman who had plenty of legroom. She was an excellent driver which is important in both the urban center where there is a lot of traffic and pedestrians as well as on our journey up some of the hills that surround La Concha beach. Our first stop was at the west end of the crescent to view the Combs of the Wind sculptures. They jut out from the steep cliffs at that end of the harbor to interact with the wind and surf. It was a great place to take photos and get a feel for the outer harbor. Ania then took us up the steep, hillside road to the amusement park atop Monte Igeldo where we had a fabulous view of the city and the boat regatta underway with much fanfare in the bay below. I wouldn’t want to drive up that road so was glad we had Ania at the wheel. Then we drove to the other end of the city to the Gros neighborhood and Zurriola beach. Ania parked near the modern conference center and then took us the rest of the tour on foot through the historic old town that was crowded with fans of the regattas. In summary, we highly recommend Ania for any tour!

Lot of Fun, Learning and Eating - What a fabulous time Markle showed us. Firstly we were collected directly from our hotel in a very comfortable car. Then Markle drove all around San Sebastián showing us many magnificent views, historic homes and important sights while explaining the colourful history of the beautiful San Sebastián. We then walked the beachfront to the Old Town where we sampled many yummy Pintxos matched with drinks and Markel explained/showed more wonderful sights within the area. Markle was knowledgeable, funny and entertaining, it was a pleasure to spend time with him, we highly recommend him….thanks Marklel :)

Fantastic San Sebastián overview experience - We had a terrific experience with Telmo and visited many areas of San Sebastián we likely wouldn’t have seen on our own. He had good knowledge of the history and culture of Basque Country (being Basque himself!), and shared with us easily. We also appreciated that he was prepared in case of rain, and considerate of our kids’ preferences on the pintxo part of the tour. The pintxos he selected for us were definitely a highlight, and it was really great being guided by a pro!

Best way to get to know San Sebastián! - Had a fabulous Pinxtos and tour of San Sebastián this evening with Markel. This is a beautiful walking city and having a fun and knowledgeable tour guide like Markel was a great way to spend our first day here and get an introduction to the city and culture here. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the city for the first time!

San Sebastián sightseeing and Pintxo tour - The tour was amazing!! And our tour guide, Telmo was exceptional!! My husband and I took a private tour and we were very impressed at everything we learned about San Sebastián and how knowledgeable Telmo was. We gave him and the tour a 10 out of 10! Well worth it!

Ideal First Day Tour of San Sebastian! - Had a electric bike tour with an AMAZING guide, Ania, on our first full day in San Sebastian. Really got feel for the city and its history and once off the bikes, we were introduced to Pintxos and the art of ordering. Ania knew the best spots and we collectively thought it was the best tour in our 2 week visit to Spain.

Worth Every Penny - This tour was fantastic ! Our tour guide, Claudia was so much fun and very knowledgeable! She made the whole experience great for me and my family. We ate lots of delicious food, drank lots of delicious wine and by the end of the night had full bellies and new appreciation for the rich basque culture. Highly recommend this tour and request for Claudia !

THE best way to see San Sebastian - We did four tours with these awesome folks. Every one was a great insider view. I’m typically skeptical of tours. As a chef I thought for sure I could figure out a pinxto tour on my own. Boy was I wrong. These guy knew where to find the best of everything!
