San Sebastián is a cyclist’s dream, offering the perfect blend of accessibility and stunning scenery. Like the locals do, you’ll
explore the city end to end on two wheels, visiting iconic landmarks and uncovering hidden gems along the way.
Starting in the heart of downtown, this must-do bike (or e-bike) tour takes you through three breathtaking beaches—Ondarreta, La
Concha, and Zurriola. At the western edge of Ondarreta Beach, you’ll marvel at the iconic Comb of the Wind sculpture, a
masterpiece that brings together art and nature. From there, follow the legacy of Spanish Queen María Cristina, admiring the
elegant Belle Époque architecture she inspired during her reign in the late 19th century. Finally, reach the eastern end of
Zurriola Beach, where the Dove of Peace stands as a symbol of harmony. This tour combines the best of San Sebastián’s scenic
beauty, rich history, and cultural landmarks, making it an unforgettable and easy way to experience the city.

What To Expect
Buen Pastor Cathedral
The meeting point is on the stairs in front of the main entrance of Good Shepherd Cathedral. Here, we will admire San Sebastián’s largest religious building, which houses one of the biggest organs in Europe. From this spot, we will pick up the bikes and begin our tour.
La Concha Beach
First, we will explore the different landmarks along La Concha Beach, famous for its golden, fine sands. This beach holds a fascinating history, especially when its beneficial waters made it the preferred bathing destination for royalty. We will tell you the story behind iconic buildings such as the City Hall (Ayuntamiento) and the Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra. As we cycle along the promenade, we will pass by impressive villas that still evoke the city's Belle Époque splendor.

Don’t waste your money, rent your own bikes and do it yourself

2.00We have done a few Viatour city trips and this is easily the worst. I’d go as far as to say don’t waste your money. A 2 1/2 hour bike tour with 4 stops in total . The guide was pleasant enough but her English was poor and very heavily accented which made the small amount of information she gave very difficult to understand. Sometimes she gave info while we were on bikes and the fellow cyclists took up a system of relating what she said along the way as we cycled. I know no more about this city than I could have looked up in Wikipedia . This tour gives Viatour a really bad name and you may want to reconsider using this company in future
Hmmm, was it worth it? I dunno..

3.00Guide showed up late. Long walk to bike store where we were given a low quality bicycle, and the staff person didn’t even know how to set up for the right height (I had to adjust it myself later on as we were already moving). Julien was knowledgeable about the area history but at times it was frustrating because he would be giving tour information while we were moving or while others were away, so we couldn’t hear it. Overall, I felt like we basically rented a bike to take it to the end of Onderetta beach and got a few tidbits about Googleable San Sebastián history. He was nice, though and very friendly, it’s just that we’ve done bike tours in several places in Europe and this was by far the lowest quality bike tour. We couldn’t have gotten the same experience renting a bike from a local bike shop for $8 for 2 hours. Still I would cautiously recommend the expert only because we still believe in bike tours at the beginning of your stay in any European city, to get lay of the land, interesting spots to visit and inspiration to dive deeper into visited sites.
Great way to see San Sebastian
