## Overview

Discover San Sebastian like a local with our walking, a guided journey from the elegant city centre to the narrow lanes of the Old Town, showing why this Atlantic jewel captivates at first sight.

Start among boulevards, theatres, and historic hotels of the Belle Epoque and Queen Maria Cristina, as your guide shares stories of the city’s nineteenth-century origins, twentieth-century expansion, and vibrant cultural life around City Hall, Victoria Eugenia Theatre, Tabakalera, and the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd.

Continue into the historic heart, where San Vicente and Santa Maria churches watch over squares and pintxo-lined streets. Learn about San Sebastian’s gastronomic tradition and receive genuine recommendations for further exploration.

The tour concludes with a pintxo and drink in a classic Old Town bar (not included for bilingual tour), the perfect toast to a stroll that blends heritage, culture, and flavor. Ideal and delicious introduction to San Sebastian.
