What To Expect
Your journey begins with a panoramic drive through San Sebastián, offering unforgettable views of La Concha Bay, where the curves of the beach and turquoise waters paint a postcard-worthy scene. With your private guide, uncover the city’s elegant layout, modernist architecture, and green spaces that reflect its refined yet relaxed spirit.
From there, you'll head to the heart of the city—San Sebastián’s Old Town (Parte Vieja). Here, tradition meets energy in a maze of stone alleys filled with historic façades, family-run bars, and the unmistakable aroma of freshly prepared pintxos. Your guide will take you to local favorites, where you’ll taste these bite-sized Basque specialties, each offering a piece of cultural heritage.
The tour continues to one of Eduardo Chillida’s iconic installations—either the Peine del Viento, dramatically set at the edge of the sea where wind, waves, and iron sculptures converge, or Chillida Leku, a museum blending art and nature on the sculptor’s former estate (subject to availability or preference).
At the end of this richly textured experience, your private driver will return you to your hotel or preferred location, leaving you with vivid impressions of a city that captivates all the senses.
