San Sebastián in a Small Group: History, Secrets, and Pintxos
- 2 hours and 15 minutes
- English and Spanish
Description
Want to discover San Sebastián beyond the usual tourist spots?
Join me for a relaxed small-group walking tour through Donostia, where we’ll explore the city’s fascinating history, local stories, Basque culture and some of the little details you might otherwise walk straight past.
We’ll visit some of the most iconic places in the city centre and the Old Town while discovering stories about San Sebastián’s destruction and reconstruction, the surprising past of Constitution Square, and some of the traditions that make this city so unique.
But don’t worry — this isn’t a history lecture!
We’ll also talk about everyday life in San Sebastián, Basque traditions, food and, of course, pintxos.
Because the group is small, the experience is much more personal and relaxed. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, chat and get recommendations based on what you’re interested in.
And before we say goodbye, I’ll share my personal recommendations for pintxo bars and places to eat, so you’ll know where to continue exploring San Sebastián afterwards.
What can you expect?
• Stories and curiosities about San Sebastián
• Basque culture and traditions
• The Old Town and some of its most interesting corners
• An introduction to the local pintxo culture
• Personal recommendations for eating, drinking and exploring the city
• A friendly atmosphere and a small group
My goal is simple: by the end of the tour, I want you to have not only seen San Sebastián, but to understand a little more about what makes this city so special.
See you in Donostia!

Guiding since 2025Hi! I’m Natalia 😊
I was born in Moscow, spent 4 years living in Shanghai, and for the past 10 years San Sebastián has been my home.
I’m a linguist and translator by profession, so languages, cultures and the stories behind places have always fascinated me. Having lived in very different parts of the world has also taught me what it’s like to arrive somewhere new and try to understand what makes a place truly unique.
After a decade in San Sebastián, I’ve discovered the city far beyond its famous sights — its traditions, food culture, hidden details and everyday way of life.
On my tours, I like to mix history, Basque culture, curious stories and local recommendations in a relaxed and friendly way. I especially enjoy small groups because there’s more time to chat, ask questions and make the experience personal.
My goal is for you to leave with more than just beautiful photos of San Sebastián: I want you to understand the city a little better, discover some great stories and, of course, know where to go for pintxos afterwards! 😊
