Overview

Discover San Sebastián with a private, tailor-made tour led by a local expert who brings every façade, square, and promenade to life.

Start between the elegant Centre and the Old Town’s edge to learn about the city’s origins, Belle Époque transformation, City Hall, historic hotels like Londres and María Cristina, the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, and Queen María Cristina’s influence on its expansion.

Explore the historic heart with San Vicente and Santa María churches, the market, pintxo streets, and charming squares, along with genuine local tips for independent exploration.

For a panoramic experience, extend to Miramar Palace, Tabakalera museum terrace, and Chillida’s Peine del Viento, combining the bay, public art, and Cantabrian Sea views.
