This was a highly... - This was a highly enjoyable way on our first morning to get our bearings in this wonderful small city. Paulo was an excellent guide, the e-bikes made the tour no physical effort at all and the route was really well thought out. Such fun.

Highlight of San Sebastian trip - The experience was really a highlight of my trip. Trying e-bikes for the first time was really cool. The instructions to use them was very clear.
The guide, Lorenzo was very friendly and knowledgeable. The places visited are steeped in history and Lorenzo told the history beautifully.

Unchained Melody of a Kind - Lorenzo did an excellent job combining safe cycling with adequate stops for sharing of information about San Sebastián and the Basque Country. He calmly managed a chain that had come off the gear - messy business! It was a beautiful day to enjoy the fresh air and see and learn about this area of northern Spain.

Nice comfortable cycle and a fascinating insight to Basque thinking - A very enjoyable tour led by Lorenza. Easy, safe cycling (nice to be led along the cycleways through the streets with confidence), possible to cycle without power but good to be able to call on it at times. Excellent and thoughtful reflections led by Lorenzo about Basque history and identity; his open interest and curiosity around the subject very evident. Very nice to see San Sebastián bays from either end, and then an off-the-beaten track return via an old tunnel and the university campus to round it off.
Many thanks for adding something special to our time here.

Excellent tour, would thoroughly recommend - Our guide Lorenzo was excellent. Very knowledgable about San Sabastian and Basque history. Gave lots of tips about good places to eat and visit. We’ve done other city ebike tours and Lorenzo is the best guide we’ve had.

The Best of San Sebastián on an e-Bike - If you like riding a bike and touring a city with a guide who can present great information (history, restaurants, drinks) while making it fun at the same time, then you shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Lorenzo, our guide was an absolute delight. He is both informative and so easy to understand as he speaks excellent English. It certainly was the highlight of our stay in San Sebastián.
