Todo perfecto. El guia que nos hizo la visita fue Xabi y ha sido muy ameno y entretenido. La ruta es perfecta para ver las cosas más importantes de la ciudad, pero además nos ha recomendado otros lugares que visitar no incluidos en el recorrido y, lo más importante, buenos sitios para tomar unos pintxos en Donosti. Si estás dudando, te animo a participar en este tour, nos ha encantado! Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect. Our guide, Xabi, was very pleasant and entertaining. The route is perfect for seeing the city's most important sights, but he also recommended other places to visit not included in the tour and, most importantly, great places to get some pintxos in San Sebastian. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to take this tour; we loved it! Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita muy recomendable. Nuestro guía, un estudiante de historia donostiarra, lo hizo genial, no solo lo pone pasión y deja unos datos muy interesantes para entender la historia de la cuidad sino que hace la visita muy amena animando a todos a participar, fantástico tanto con los niños como con los adultos. Ya hace una semana de esto y no me acuerdo del nombre de el pero se gano la propina con creces. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended. Our guide, a history student from San Sebastián, was brilliant. He not only brought passion and provided some very interesting information to help us understand the city's history, but also made the tour very enjoyable, encouraging everyone to participate. It was fantastic with both children and adults. It's been a week, and I don't remember his name, but he more than earned the tip. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos el free tour con Ibon y fue una experiencia fantástica. Desde el primer momento transmitió muchísima energía y consiguió que el grupo estuviera animado en todo momento. Explica la historia de forma muy clara y entretenida, con ese toque cercano que hace que no te aburras ni un segundo. Se nota que disfruta lo que hace y logra contagiar esa pasión. ¡Muy recomendable!

La visita por San Sebastián con Irati fue estupenda. Nos dio un visión general de la ciudad, dando datos qe se remontan a la epoca de los balleneros vascos como de datos actuales, favoreciendo una idea de la historia muy completa. Todo ello con toques de humor,actividades y retos que han hecho que las dos horas y media no se hagan nada pesadas. Excelente guía! Translate this opinion into English.

Irati's tour of San Sebastián was wonderful. He gave us an overview of the city, providing information dating back to the era of Basque whalers and current events, providing a comprehensive understanding of its history. All of this was accompanied by a touch of humor, activities, and challenges that made the two and a half hours seem effortless. Excellent guide! Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía fué muy agradable y las explicaciones las hacía muy bien, muy simpática...pero no se si fué por que en esa hora hacia muchisimo calor sumado a que al ser fiestas hay mas ambiente y estas mas "agobiado", pero a ratos se me hizo un poco larga.

The guide was very pleasant and gave very good explanations, very friendly... but I don't know if it was because it was very hot at that time of day, added to the fact that it's the holidays, there's more atmosphere and you're more "overwhelmed," but at times it seemed a bit long to me.

Una guía que deja huella. Sarai fue una guía excepcional. Entusiasta, cercana y muy entregada, transmitía emoción en cada historia. En una parada nos cantó una canción que le cantaba su abuela... No entendí la letra, pero su voz me emocionó hasta las lágrimas. La ciudad ya es digna de ver, pero ella la hizo aún más grande con su forma de contarla. ¡Inolvidable! Translate this opinion into English.

A guide who leaves a lasting impression. Sarai was an exceptional guide. Enthusiastic, approachable, and deeply dedicated, she conveyed emotion in every story. At one stop, she sang us a song her grandmother used to sing to her... I didn't understand the lyrics, but her voice moved me to tears. The city is already worth seeing, but she made it even more so with her way of telling it. Unforgettable! Opinion translated. Show original.
