Excellent tour. 4 hours of walking the city and pintxo tasting. Gontxu is very friendly and personable, smart and easy to talk with about the history and culture of the area. He speaks excellent English and adapted the pace to our jet lag.

Reply from Gontxu: Thanks a lot Kelly! We had 4 amazing hours flowing from one place to another. Now you’re experts in San Sebastian’s city center and old town. Hugs!

This was THE BEST tour we had during our entire trip in Spain. Gontxu is warm, funny, flexible and very knowledgeable about the area and the best places to eat. He tailored the tour perfectly for our family with 2 seniors and 2 toddlers.

Reply from Gontxu: Hopefully we’ll see each other again. Thank you very, very much for your amazing review. I had great fun touring with you!
