About this experience
This private tour departs from Bilbao and includes visits to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and San Sebastian. Travelers will explore San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a 10th-century hermitage known as Dragonstone from Game of Thrones, which involves climbing 241 steps with a guide who shares insights about the site's history and conservation. The tour continues to San Sebastian, where participants will enjoy four pintxos paired with wine or cider in selected bars in the Old Town. A stroll along La Concha Bay allows for appreciation of the area's architecture and local highlights. The tour includes a professional guide, private transport, and entry to Gaztelugatxe. Please note that the itinerary may be reversed, visiting San Sebastian first and Gaztelugatxe in the afternoon. This experience suits those interested in culture, nature, and cuisine, but may not be suitable for those with mobility issues due to the climb at Gaztelugatxe.
