What to expect
Your guide picks you up and drives you around San Sebastian's principal attractions—architecture, plazas, coastal views—explaining the city's character and history. You're not locked into a script; your guide adjusts based on what catches your eye. In the final hour, you'll head to working pintxos bars where your guide orders two small plates and a drink per person, explaining the tradition of hopping bars, the social ritual, and what makes San Sebastian's food scene distinctive. Expect to stand at counters, chat with locals (through your guide if needed), and eat as Donostiarras do.
