Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
San SebastianThe day has two main stops: a full winery tour at Marqués de Riscal, which the operator bills as the best winery in the world, and a visit to Ysios, billed as the fourth best, to taste its premium wines. Local cheese and cold meats come with the wines. A typical three-course lunch follows. Pick-up and drop-off in different cities (for example, pick-up in Bilbao and drop-off in San Sebastian) can only be booked on the operator's own website, North Coast Tours. The tour needs a minimum of 5 people to run, and couples are asked to book through that website to secure a spot. Guiding is in English, although all the guides speak Spanish.
