Nice experience, a ride in the bay of San Sebastián with which to comfortably see the city and its attractions on the coast without having to walk too much. That's why I took my parents, who were happy.

The boat tour was very nice, it lasts about an hour. The audio guide is in several languages which is very practical. Everything is very well explained.

It has been quite a pleasant experience and a different way of getting to know Bilbao. I recommend it

Very interesting because it is also a history lesson. Very nice and to recommend

Super recommended tour. The view of San Sebastián from the sea is impressive.
