    Beautiful hike with a great guide.

    "The hike was very good. Usua was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Basque region and Spain. She’s very easy to talk to. The hike is well maintained and not too challenging but long enough to be worthwhile. "

    The Best Guided Tour

    "Nathanja gave us the best guided tour by making sure to bring the city to life and share her special places and tastes of the city far above aand beyond what might be expected. She took extra time to share the places you might necer see otherwise and gave us pacing that matched our energy to make this a tour to remember. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting!"

    San Sebastian Pintxos Tour with Fran

    "Usua had a change in her schedule so her colleague Fran(Francisco) was our tour guide. We were running late due to parking and he was very flexible/accommodating with us. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk with/hang out with. Took us to several great pinxto spots, taught us about the history, culture, and food of San Sebastian. Highly recommend!"

    Great tour!

    "Nathanja was our guide and has extensive experience with and insight into the city highlights. She is very personable and easily adapted to our having a 2 year old who couldn't always cooperate (e.g. Hiking up to the chapel). She also had great recs re:food and other activities in and around the city. She also speaks at least four languages. Highly recommend for other travelers! "

    Excellent intro to pintxo options

    "Usua was an enthusiastic and informative guide who lives in the Old Town and continually visits different pintxo bars to stay updated and to remain adaptable to visitors' tastes, dietary restrictions, crowd situations, and more. She was very flexible with us, particularly since we had our 2 year old with us, and ensured we had a great time. Thank you, Usua! "

    San Seb deliciousness

    "Usua was an excellent guide. We got to experience the traditional pinxos bars and ate some delicious food. Her best advice was “don’t eat anywhere shiny, go in the brown bars instead “ . That was so true! The brown bars were full of locals and the pinxtos were authentic and delicious. Highly recommend 😄"

    Fab Pintxos Tour

    "Georgia is a Greek diamond found in the extortionate city of San Sebastián. By all means you can do a Pintxos tour yourself but frankly you need to do both. Firstly with Georgia to understand how it all works, to take you to the primo places and then explore yourself. Georgia has a winning smile that will brighten up any day. Great fun."
