Discover the History, Highlights & Hidden Stories of San Sebastián.
Perfect for first-time visitors, this small-group walking tour helps you understand San Sebastián, not just see it.
We'll explore the historic heart of the city, uncovering the people and events that shaped the city you see today. Along the way I'll bring its past to life with historic photographs and old postcards.
I focus on engaging, memorable history rather than long lists of dates and names.
As a Brit who's called the Basque Country home for over 20 years, I love helping English-speaking visitors discover the streets, stories and hidden corners that make this city so special.
Whether it's your first day or your only day here, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of San Sebastián and ideas for what to explore next.
There's plenty of time for questions, plus recommendations for pintxo bars, restaurants and places to visit afterwards.
Join me for an engaging introduction to this wonderful Basque city!
