- DayTrip6056580010/10The walking tour we took was very good. We can highly recommend. Our guide was delightful and very informative.
- ileenef00Simply the best!I can not say enough good things about Basque Tours. The owner, Jon Galdos, does everything to make your experience memorable, fun and delicious. We did 4 tours with them and each one was fabulous. Jon will customize any tour to accommodate your interests. Basque Tours is simply the best, and we already can’t wait to go back!
- 691kayer00Fantastic girls day out in wineriesWe organised our tour with limited available days we had in San Sebastián…. Jon, the contact for Basque tours was very prompt to reply and give us a quote for our day out in the Rioja wineries …. Our tour guide was prompt to pick us up and was knowledgeable about the area and was a lot of fun … the wineries picked for our tastings were superb , the staff friendly and very informative … the food for the picnic lunch was both tasty and plentiful… All wines we tasted for the day were perfect … such a beautiful landscape and scenery in the areas we visited …. Just the best day out we could have asked for…. Thankyou to Basque Tours for an amazing day .
- Scenic3992120495900Amazing day trip experience in San SebastiánThis company is amazing … very patient and thoughtful when I asked tons of questions to try to customize the tour originally. And emwe needed up having a great day trip to Pamplona with our guide Andy! He’s knowledgeable of the history and culture, and also just a fun person to hang out with. Would definitely recommend!
- Y-Burg00Friends Tour to Basque CountryJon an Jani organized a superb three day tour for us. A Bilbao walking tour, a Basque coast tour and a San Sebastian Pinxtos tour! Well organized with superb guides and lot to see and lot to enjoy!
- 144JenniferW14400Great experience with Basque Tours!I highly recommend the Flavors of the Basque Countryside tour if you are staying in the region, and you'd like to get out into countryside. We visited a small family-owned cider hour (tour of the grounds, tour of the process, and tasting of the cider along with regional snacks). We also visited a 16th century family-owned Basque pig farm, which included a wonderful homecooked meal of all local products (most from the farm). We were able to meet, talk and eat/drink with the owners, which made it especially special. Andrew from Basque Tours did a great job hosting us (and interpreting). Outstanding!
- mickl81900Brilliant experienceAbsolutely brilliant. From the ease of booking (with Jon and Jani) to our amazing guide (Gorka), this was the perfect way to experience Rioja. Highly recommend.
- lorenacB7941ZN00The best tour company in San SebastianWe couldn't have asked for a better tour company. We were a group of 8 people visiting different places for 6 days; every tour was very well organized and interesting, the tour guides were amazing, knowledgeable and fun, especially Gorka. I would definitely recommend Basque Tours.
- S4066YYjonm00Best Tour company in San Sebastian, hands down!Andy was professional, personable and extremely knowledgeable. We were picked up at our hotel in a luxury van and driven through the beautiful Basque countryside. Andy discussed points of interest and explained the history of the area as we traveled. Our guide was familiar with the best wineries of the region and was able to provide a VIP experience at each place due to his years of building relationships with the wineries and families that run them. Our group has traveled through many of the best wine regions of the world, and this tour is top of our list. Could not recommend Basque Tours more highly.
- Marisa M00Excellent day in rioja valleyWe spent a day travelling from Bilbao to Rioja Valley then to San Sebastian with Gorka. He was a true pleasure to be with from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgable about all the regions we were visiting, shared some really good tips and insights and also a very good driver! Although the tour was expensive, it was on par with all the other tours that I considered. I would highly recommend this company and in particular request Gorka!
- laurieandgregh00Incredible Experience With Basque ToursThis was our first trip to the Basque country and we feel like we saw the best of the best due to working with Basque Tours. We enjoyed every day and everything we did. We spent 3 days touring with Jon, 1 day with Andy, and 1 day with Angel. Not only were they very knowledgeable, but they were also fun to be with and significantly enhanced our experience. Basque Tours was recommended to us by my parents who have used them on multiple occasions. We would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone.
- Jodie42200Exceptional and personalised service.Jon was very friendly, informative and flexible. We visited 2 coastal towns, had a lovely walk and then went to a winery for amazing wine, views and food. Definitely a 5 star professional tour company.
- Connector2826452437800Three Great Excrusions with Basque ToursIn May 2023, my wife and I went on three all day excursions with Basque Tours out of San Sebastian. Each tour was personally guided, and the guides were very informative and knowledgeable. The first tour was the Basque coastline from Bilbao to San Sebastian. Jon along with Ebon were our guides on this tour. The Basque coastline tour featured a mountainous coastline, withs stops at stunningly beautiful beaches and coastal towns. Especially enjoyed the visit to the fishing village of Getaria. The second tour was to the Rioja wine region, with Gurka as our guide. Rioja has great wines and is well worth the visit. We especially enjoyed our outdoor lunch in the vineyard next to a beautiful river. Our third and final tour was of Biaritz and the French Basque Coast. Gurka along with Ebon were our guides on this tour of these beautiful coastal towns and beaches. On this excursion we enjoyed the opportunity to shop in these towns. We also stopped in the town of Hondarribia and has some great pintxos for lunch. The octopus dish was the best octopus we have ever eaten. Afterwards, we toured the old part of Hondarribia which is located inside fortified walls with wonderful medieval buildings and gorgeous views. We finished the day’s trip with some wonderful mountaintop views looking to both the Pyrenees Mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. Our Basque guides made each tour feel very special and we valued the history and knowledge they gave to us. We highly recommend using Basque Tours as your private tour guide for this region.
- grantmF3327PI00Cute, but missed the mark.While we appreciated the last minute availability of the sunset sail, the price did not match the experience and we were left disappointed. The “sail” consisted of motoring between two points in the port a couple of times as we circled other Basque “luxury” tours on the same route. The boat was quaint and decently maintained, but would not be an experience we would repeat again soon. Dealing with the the service, however, was exceptional, and everyone we encountered did a terrific job with the resources the organization made available to them.
- NYCGal1002800The ONLY way to tour the Basque area is with Basque ToursNo tour of the Baque area will be complete without the expertise and the wonderful guides from Basque Tours! We had 3 days of tours with them and wished we had more time! When we come back again, we will definitely go with Basque Tours again!!! Thank you Jon!

I requested for bars with terrace seating because I was not sure how the Covid situation will be. Juan brought us to 3 bars with tables already reserved for us. We had different kinds of pintxos which we would never have known or ordered had he not been with us. They were all soooo good! He also introduced us to Basque wine which we had too much of, I think. 😁
Juan explained each pintxo and wine we were having. He also told us about the history of San Sebastián and answered whatever questions we had.
Best of all, Juan was able to establish a relationship with us and the entire evening was a freewheeling discussion about Donostia, family and experiences.

An amazing tour in San Sebastián and a wonderful introduction to Basque life and culture. Our guide, Edu, was outstanding. We began with a walking tour of San Sebastián, learning about the culture and the history and then proceeded to eat and drink our way through the city. The guide was informative, knowledgeable, accommodating and very personable. This was the first of four tours with the company, and was an outstanding beginning. Very very highly recommend the tour and the company

What a fantastic way to experience San Sebastian than the tour! It is a personal experience that keeps us telling our friends and family about it today! The food is amazing and to learn of the history and culture while you enjoy great food and spirits is nothing better. To bring it all to life, Jon was an exceptional and very personable guide to take us on the tour. He was so full of energy and fun. He made sure he knew what we wanted to see, eat, and drink and made a personalized, one of kind tour for our group! Basque Tours is the only way to experience the Private Pintxos and Wine Tour in San Sebastian!

We do really mean it, thank you for taking the time out to send us such a great review, we really do appreciate it.
There is no better way to learn about and enjoy San Sebastian/Donostia than with a drink and some food while wondering around the old town and living like a local.
Thank you for spending time in our beautiful part of the world and looking forward to seeing you again.
Safe travels

Nothing short of spectacular…. Jani was an superb tour guide. Her knowledge and history of San Sebastián was extremely educational.
A wonderful gastronomic experience and way to understand the Basque culture and their farm to table way of life.
We highly recommend this wine and pinxtos tour — a memorable evening that ended at a local bar meeting wonderful people - Jani knows everyone - her energy is contagious … we miss her already.

Our private tour of San Sebastián with Veronica was an exceptional experience. First, she was very prompt. We had a very nice walking tour of the city, followed by a unique pintxo and wine tour at several amazing bars. Veronica is a true local and everybody knows her and her family for many years. So no problem going to the smaller places and missing the big “cruise ship” and touristy groups and places. We learned all the local places and local customs and Veronica brilliantly paired wines with our pintxo experience. If you want something truly unique, this tour is worth it.

Had a wonderful evening hosted by Diego as he took us to his favourite pintxo bars. He was very professional and fun making sure to provide us with a good range of delicious pintxos and wine. Diego made the evening truly pleasurable. I have used Basque Tours before and each outing has been led by excellent guides. Highly recommend this outfit for anyone visiting San Sebastián.

Our guide Lide gave us an unforgettable evening in San Sebastian.
The tour started at 6:30 PM and before we knew it it was 11:30 PM!
The bars and restaurants were fantastic, and so was the food and wine.

Thank you for this unforgatble experience, what a fantastic night!
Thank you for everything.
We definitely will come back...

Veronika was an absolute delight. She guided us through the streets of Old Town to the top tiered Pinxtos spots. Her familiarity with the people and what they do best was invaluable to us on our first visit to the region. We took this tour early in our visit to San Sebastián and we were able to utilize what we learned from Veronika over the remaining time we were there. As a history teacher, Veronika was very knowledgeable about the significance and historical importance of the places we were visiting. Fantastic food, outstanding wine and an excellent guide to help us get the most out of our first day in the area.

We were a party of 2 who were fortunate enough have Basque Tours provide us with a phenomenal experience to learn and explore the Basque region of Spain ( with a day trip across the border to France). We were able to meet Jani, Juan and Andy for 3 incredible days and 1 night of touring. We began with the pintxos with Jani where we sampled delicious pintxos and wine in various restaurants throughout San Sebastian. Although we just met Jani by the end of the evening it was like being out with a good friend! We learned so much from her about the Basque region and its incredible food delicacies! Each stop, we were amazed at the taste of the different foods and wines we were sampling! Needless to say by the end our bellies were full but it was so worth it! We will always remember this wonderful evening with Jani!

Our guide was Maellen (not sure of spelling) she was wonderful, so informative and hospitable. So glad we chose to do the tour with Basque language barrier, otherwise it might have been daunting. We even had a macaron from the original bakery company that created them for a royal wedding.

We had lots of food restrictions. One vegetarian, one shellfish allergy, one who didn’t eat fish of any kind, and one omnivore. Jani was great working with our high maintenance dietary restrictions!
