About this tour

This call helps you plan which of San Sebastián's two hills to visit, or how to fit in both, before you commit a day to either. Asier compares Monte Igueldo and Monte Urgull directly, covering what each viewpoint actually offers. It ends with a plan rather than a climb.

The single segment covers both hills side by side, with Asier answering questions about timing and access as they come up. It runs shorter than his viewpoint session since it is built for planning.

This suits anyone about to visit San Sebastián who wants local advice before choosing a route. It pairs well with booking Asier's Igueldo session afterwards.

Included

  • A 30-minute call with a local guide
  • Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
  • A short follow-up note with every place mentioned

Not included

  • Bookings made on your behalf
  • Phone or data charges from your provider

Itinerary

  1. Hello, and what you want to know 5 min

    The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning San Sebastian, recommendations, or just questions.

  2. Planning your route 17 min

    On the call I compare Monte Igueldo and Monte Urgull, talk through the funicular schedule, and help you decide which viewpoint, or both, suits the time you have.

  3. Your questions 5 min

    Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.

  4. A written note after the call 3 min

    You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.

Good to know

  • A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
  • No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
  • Times are shown in Madrid time, so check the time where you are before you book.
  • The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
  • Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.

Questions about this tour

What will the call cover?

The guide talks you through San Sebastian: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.

What happens if the call drops?

The guide will try you again straight away.

Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
