San Sebastián half-day trip from Biarritz

Navigator286078, Sep 2025

Tour was excellent. Our guide, Xavier, was a true professional and very knowledgeable. His trainee, David, was also very pleasant and knew a lot about the region’s history.

Both guides were able to answer all of our questions, they were efficient with time, and gave us a great overview of San Sebastián.

We would highly recommend both Xavier and David for tours.
