21 tours · €45–€506 per person · ★ 5.0
The 21 private tours in San Sebastián here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher, and each one is a guide for your group alone. Prices run from €45 per person for a custom walking tour that meets you at your accommodation or the cruise terminal to €506 for a five day private programme across the Basque Country. Half of them stay in town: private pintxos crawls with five pintxos and five drinks, a meal cooked for you inside a gastronomic society, city tours with hotel pickup. The rest take you out, to Rioja wineries with a driver, to Biarritz and Bayonne, to Bilbao and the Guggenheim, or onto La Concha bay under sail.
A quick way to choose: look at how the price is quoted, since most private tours here charge per person with a minimum of two and a few charge per group, and check what is fed, because the day trips often leave lunch to you. Passports are needed for the French side. The best reviewed private tours in San Sebastián come first below.
