A great alternative to have a look of the most important places in San Sebastian - Eva is amazing! Even though we were riding the bikes, she made sure we could get the information on each place we visited. She also made sure we were ok the whole time .

Get this on your list of activities - This was such a great experience, a very friendly guide who was very passionate and knowledgable about her basque heritage. We learned lots and saw places we may have missed.

Nice way to sightsee - Nice way to see the city and cover more ground than simply walking. Bikes are very basic but this tour is mostly flat. Our guide was kind and explained the basic sights to us.

Biking in San Sebastián - Great guide, and went to places that were good. Bikes could've been better and picked to fit individuals more (I have v long legs so was scrunched and my seat kept going down, until the guide swapped me onto his bike ... which was good of him, but could've been better if bikes picked correctly in first place)! Nonetheless though, a great tour and v informative. Good pintoix recommendation too!

A bit boring - Too long sections of cycling with too few stops and stories and historical explanations. Therefore a bit boring. Bicycles relatively old and not always technically perfect.

A scratching of the surface - Hearing about the Basque culture and intersections with French and Spanish was very interesting. I had hoped the guide would have provided more detail about the origins, culture and history of the area and some anecdotes.

San Sebastián Bike Tour - Biking is beautiful and easy in San Sebastián but we did not get much history or see many sites on this 2.5 hr tour. For example, we met at a beautiful cathedral and rather than explain or talk about it, we walked 10 minutes to get the bikes. Tour guide was difficult to understand. Walking on our own in the evening, we saw more sites that were never explained. She also went off the bike path and, as we followed her, we were reprimanded twice, once by a police officer and once by an older couple on a park. We typically do a bike tour in every city we visit. This was definitely the worst. I do not recommend this tour.
