About this tour

You'll take in La Concha's sweep of bay and sand, then wind through the Old Town's narrow streets lined with Belle-Époque mansions and Basque architecture.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and heads straight to La Concha for the signature view—the curve of sand, promenade, and hills beyond. Then you'll move into the Old Town, where the streets narrow and the buildings crowd together. You'll stop at key plazas and pause at architectural highlights while your guide explains what you're seeing: when this townhouse was built, why the city developed this way, what daily life looks like now. Expect a steady pace with plenty of pauses, not a march.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; cobblestones dominate the Old Town. The tour runs rain or shine. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Service animals welcome.
