Tours & Guided Tours in San Sebastián

65 tours in San Sebastián, from €12 to €1450 per person, average rating 4.9 based on 9829 reviews.

Every tour in San Sebastián here was picked by hand: we went through every listing for the city and kept 65 rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €12 per person for a guided walk from the Belle Époque centre into the Old Town to €1450 for a five day private programme across the Basque Country. This is a city that eats, so most of the tours in San Sebastián are pintxos crawls through the Parte Vieja and Gros, cooking classes with local chefs and market walks; the rest take you out for the day, to the Rioja wineries, across the border to Biarritz and Bayonne, to Bilbao and Gaztelugatxe, or along the coast to Hondarribia and Getaria for txakoli.

A quick way to choose: read how many pintxos and drinks are in the price, because the food tours range from a full meal to a light tasting, and check the pickup, since day trips collect at hotels only in the small group versions. The best reviewed tours in San Sebastián come first below.

Viator lists 401 tours for San Sebastián. We screened all of them and kept 65: rated 4.5★ or higher by 30+ travellers, real tours only, each one read and summarised by Guidekin.
