Kaixo! Hello! I'm a lucky guy born and bred in San Sebastian. I feel massively passionate about my city and I'll never lose my enthusiasm for exploring the Basque country and having the chance to share my favourite parts with you. The Basque Country is so special with it's unique food & wine scene. It's a huge part of my life with an ongoing interest & study of wines and I've been a member of one of the famous cooking societies for the last 20 years . Living here it's impossible to escape the rich culinary culture. The Great Outdoors is my other passion and as famous as San Sebastian is for the food the countryside and mountains are not to be overlooked. With a hugely unique and wide variety of hikes and trails. From coastal tracks, incredible old woodland and striking peaks. I'm extremely well travelled and have a fantastic understanding of how it is to be a tourist here and what makes a tour that extra special. Originally from a corporate background I know the right kind of professional and execute a high standard of tour on all levels. Maintaining a fun, friendly and relaxed vibe with one goal, that you have a fantastic, memorable day out. Since 2016 I have loved being a tour guide and look forward to more adventures, Hope to see you in San Sebastian very soon.

Stunning 60 million years old cliffs, grilled fish, a unique bubbly, almost salty flavoured white wine waiting for you.
Overview of your San Sebastian tour
Go behind the scenes and explore why this extraordinary region hits the top spot for so many. We'll give you a snapshot of local life outside the city. Ride west to a famed txakoli bodega where you will get to know the workings of the winery inside out. Followed by a pintxo and tasting session. Just enough to fill your bellies to make the journey to Getaria, a little working port perched proudly on the Atlantic sea renowned for Balenciaga & Elkano. We'll stroll the streets before stopping for a lunch of grilled fish* overlooking the bay.
Your San Sebastian tour itinerary
I'll pick you up in San Sebastian and head to Zumaia, around 30 minutes ride by car. Once in Zumaia we will park beside the river to walk around 10-15 minutes to the top of the cliffs, to be amazed with the stunning rock formations of this area. You are on the flysch now, 60 million years of history of planet earth. BAck to the car and a short drive to Getaria hills, where we will visit a txakoli winery to taste this amazing refreshing local wine and have a snack. Down to Getaria harbour to see the fishing boats, learn about Elkano, Balenciaga and others. Free time for lunch, pintxos is always a great option here but if you would like to have a proper meal let me know and I could arrange a restaurant for you (subject to availability)
