27 tours · €55–€642 per person · ★ 4.9
Day trips from San Sebastián reach three countries' worth of scenery in a few hours, and the 27 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €55 per person for a half day to Hondarribia and the fishing villages of Pasaia to €642 for a private day of wineries in Rioja Alavesa priced for the whole group. The directions split cleanly: south to the Rioja wineries and Laguardia, north across the border to Biarritz, Bayonne and Saint Jean de Luz, west to Bilbao, the Guggenheim and Gaztelugatxe, and along the coast to Getaria for txakoli and the flysch cliffs of Zumaia.
A quick way to choose: the shared small group versions include hotel pickup and often lunch, the bilingual budget versions meet at a point and skip both, and the private days are priced per person or per group. Carry your passport for anything across the French border. The best reviewed day trips from San Sebastián come first below.
