Even More Fun Than it Looks - This was an excellent experience. Group of 6 adults who had a blast. Tasting the cider direct from the barrels was a once in a lifetime experience. So much fun trying different ones while also enjoying a great meal. Telmo our driver was on time, easy to meet up with and a great conversationalist throughout the day. This s a no-brainer way to spend a half day in San Sebastian.

Great experience, so much fun! - This was the best tour! Our guide Maia was excellent. I think our small group.of 4 were the only tourists in a crowd of locals but we were made to feel very welcome. The meal was delicious with an endless supply of cider right from the barrels.

The highlight of trip to the Basque Country - An excellent experience. You get taken to a small cider house out in the country, a kind of place you probably would never find on your own. You get to see how the operation works and get to enjoy an incredible meal with a large group of Basques. The guide is extremely helpful, including communicating all your food preferences to the host

Book it! - We had a great time at the cider house and Maya (apologies if I’ve spelt that wrong) was a great guide. We went on a Saturday and so the cider house was full of locals and we were the only tour group. This gave us a great opportunity to mix with the locals who were more than happy to open the barrel to pour us cider. The food and cider were both delicious. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip, highly recommend.

A fantastic day out - A really really good cider tour. We visited one cider house and had an amazing tour. It included walking through the apple trees and the processing area. We enjoyed unlimited cider and the food was really delicious. Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Great Basque cider tour. - Thankyou Maia for a wonderful afternoon out. Very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable guide who took an interest in all 6 of us in the group which resulted in a very memorable experience! Bottomless cup of cider and good food. Really interesting tour on how the property produced cider unique to the area. One of the best tours I’ve experienced.

Great tour & guide. Lot... - Great tour & guide. Lot of food and drinks if you want. Spring season is for drinking tap from the barrels and fall is seeing the orchard full of apples.

Fun and tasty - The tour is run by the Basque cider producers’ association. The guide was knowledgeable, energetic and fun. The cider house tour was very interesting. The traditional food they served was delicious. COD omelette, chorizo pincho, T-bone steak rare, and all the different ciders one can drink. What is not to like?

Tour guide was... - Tour guide was exceptional. The complete tour, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Showing people in action making the cider would have been nice. If you can't should it live at least show a film.

Interesting, but not our best tour - Our group of four English speakers was paired with a group of four Spanish speakers. Our tour guide was very nice and tried to translate everything to both groups, but we felt that many conversations were not translated into English. The information about the cider house was very interesting, but we were left for an hour and a half (longer than necessary) in the dining room to have lunch, which was nothing special, and the tour guide was out of the room during the entire lunch.
