Interesting Tour of three Towns - A wonderful way to see and learn about the rich history of these three towns near the French border. Gilles provides a substantial amount of history and present day insight into everything we saw during this excellent tour. We are very glad to have had the experience. Even the short boat ride across the river was memorable. It was also good that we had a bit of time to ourselves as well where we could enjoy a little something at a local bar. Gilles was also very good about a smooth drive up and down the mountain switchbacks. It was an enjoyable morning.

Excellent Tour - Even in the rain! - Diego was an amazing tour guide. He knows so much history and is so energetic about his hometown. His energy was infectious. As is normal for northern Spain, we had a lot of rain that day, and Diego was able to pivot and still provide an excellent tour. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Tour of Hondarribia and San Juan/Pedro! - Our guide, Diego, was really terrific! His historical knowledge was second to none, and he is from the area we toured, so he was really able to dive into so many interesting and diverse topics and stories. I learned a lot, the camaraderie with all the people on the tour was great, and we had an absolute blast! I will absolutely refer Local Experts Tours to anyone visiting San Sebastián!

A Great Insight to the Broader San Sebastian Area - The Hondarribia, San Juan & San Pedro from San Sebastian tour gives a good insight into the surrounding areas of San Sebastian and some of the smaller towns. Enjoy fantastic walks through the old cities with a knowledgeable and experienced guide, Iker, who provides insights into the history, culture, and some unusual anecdotes. The tour is just four hours and packs in a lot of sights and info, delivered with some local humour. Safe and comfortable ride in Iker's Mercedes van.

Superb!! Do not miss this tour while in San Sebastián! - Excellent!! We loved this tour and saw beautiful sights and Diego was so informative with a great knowledge of the region. It was a wonderful adventure seeing the little villages along the river. I’d highly recommend Diego for his kindness and excellent historical knowledge. This tour is a must!! It was fun to explore some close-by medieval fishing villages. They were bright, quaint and pretty.
