About this activity

Enjoy an unforgettable Dragonstone tour from San Sebastian, visiting the iconic hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, where the Cantabrian Sea crashes against cliffs and cinematic views await.

Continue along the coast to Bilbao for a stroll through the Old Town and estuary, where seafaring heritage meets striking architecture. Enjoy traditional Basque pintxos and drinks as a midday lunch (not included in the total price for the bilingual group).

The day ends with a guided visit to the Guggenheim Museum, tickets and audio guide included (if option selected), showcasing contemporary masterpieces in Frank Gehry’s landmark building.

With private transport, a local guide, and a relaxed pace, this tour blends nature, history, and world class art, making it a perfect full day journey from Donosti / San Sebastián linking Gaztelugatxe and Bilbao.
